The hospitality sector in Milan is seeing significant developments through new hotel projects and rebranding efforts.

In late September 2026, Grandi Stazioni Retail and Pacini Group announced an 11 million euro investment to create The Duke Milan. This boutique hotel, part of the Curio Collection by Hilton, will be located within Milan Central Station and is expected to be completed in autumn 2027.

Following this, in early October 2026, IHG Hotels & Resorts announced the transition of the former Ramada Plaza Milano in the NoLo district into a dual-brand complex. The facility will now operate as Crowne Plaza Milan NoLo and Staybridge Suites Milan NoLo, marking the Italian debut of the Staybridge Suites brand.
