Thanks to the cultural and recreational attractions in the picturesque Brera neighborhood, the 4 star Carlyle Brera Hotel is perfect for a business trip as well as a vacation or a weekend in Milan.
After a hard day of work, there is nothing better than a little bit of relaxation in an urban green space. The vast Sempione Park, near the Carlyle Brera Hotel, is just what you need for a relaxing walk or jog, a visit to Sforzesco Castle, a musical or sports event at the Milan Civic Arena, and much more.
A source of pride in this old Milanese neighborhood is the Brera Art Gallery. It's a must-see for art enthusiasts. Started alongside the Academy of Fine Arts for educational purposes, it has reached its bicentennial and is a museum of great international importance. Inside the Brera Palace you will find precious collections of sacred paintings, collected during the time of The Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy, as well as works by artists from the 1900s, such as Boccioni, Braque, Carrà, De Pisis, Marino Marini, Modigliani and Morandi.
Brera also includes the open-air art galleries and antique markets, which take place the third Sunday of every month, enlivening this historic neighborhood with eccentric street artists and stalls where you can find the most interesting, rare objects. At night the trendy bars open and fill up with tourists, students and regulars.
Another one of Milan's historic institutions located near the hotel is the Little Theater, founded by Giorgio Strehler and Paolo Grassi.
The Fatebenefratelli Hospital, one the largest and most important in Italy, is just a few steps away, and the Moscova Metro stop is 20 meters away, making it easy to get to Fiera Milano City or Milan's Duomo.
