    Settle into some of the world's finest luxury accommodations. From penthouse suites with citywide views to smaller 'pensiones' that will cater to every need, Milan knows how to treat a traveller well. To book accommodations, contact the Milan Tourist Board at 011-39-(0) 27-2524301 or visit the Web site (see Resources below).
