Chedi, Milan


Milan seems like a good city to indulge in a luxury hotel, simply adding that to your massive credit card bill after you've been shopping there as well. So why not add another luxury hotel to the market with the recently opened The Chedi, Milan. Other Chedi hotels can be found in Asia, including Phuket and in Indonesia, but this is the first one to open in Europe. Its design has kept this Asian influence, with an Indonesian look, and a heavy serving of Thai and Indian food.

The first guests have come and gone at the new Chedi, and although things sound positive overall, there are still the usual opening problems:

Since this is a very new hotel the reception was very slow but people working there are very friendly and helpful ... The bathroom is quite big, with big shower and nice toiletries. The bath towels were so new that you could hardly dry yourself using them, I guess as soon as they wash them many times it will become better.

Other teething problems included the fact that not all facilities are up and running, with the finishing touches to the pool and health club area still going on (and no warning about this on the website or during the booking process). The great news is that the Wifi does work already.
