Hand-picked in Monza: the 5-star hotel Hotel De La Ville. Anyone booking through suitespot also receives breakfast for two, a room upgrade subject to availability, hotel credit and VIP service – a package of more than €500.
Hotel De La Ville Monza · San BiagioFor this guide we reviewed the best hotels in Monza and chose one: a luxury hotel in family hands, directly opposite the villa – with two suites that look out on the park. What that means for booking is below.Our choice for Monza is the Hotel De La Ville Monza in San Biagio, four hundred metres from the Villa Reale. In our ranking it stands at 4.0 out of 5, and a night starts at 174 euros. The hotel is independently run and belongs to the Small Luxury Hotels of the World.
Why we recommend it: Because it is the hotel Monza has run itself for four generations: the Nardi family, 62 rooms in the main building with antiques and the annex La Villa with seven further rooms and suites, its own garden, sauna and gym. Dinner is at the Derby Grill, the restaurant listed by the Michelin Guide, looking straight at the Villa Reale. The Autodromo is three kilometres away, Milan Cathedral sixteen – anyone wanting the Grand Prix or Design Week without sleeping in Milan stays here. Our recommended category is called Deluxe City View.
Two suites look out on the park – our recommendation is the smallest category in the house.
The sizes: 20 square metres in the Deluxe facing the town, 25 in the second Deluxe, 30 in the Executive; then 32 and 35 in two suites facing the park, 35 in a third suite and 42 in the fourth.
What that means: this hotel’s motif is the park of the Villa Reale opposite – exactly two categories look out on it, the suites at 32 and 35. Our recommendation Deluxe City View faces the town instead. And it has 20 square metres, the smallest category in the hotel.
Anyone booking the recommendation gets the entry point with a town view. Anyone wanting the park books the suite at 32 – twelve square metres more and the window to the villa. Anyone wanting only space takes the suite at 42, the largest category.
Included in the package: breakfast, 50 US dollars credit, upgrade on arrival, early check-in and late check-out – with a two-night minimum stay. The two nights apply to every category.
Our advice: Book two nights and the suite to the park. With a two-night minimum, the step from 20 to the town to 32 to the park is the decision one makes in Monza – the upgrade on arrival can add to it, not replace it.
The Hotel De La Ville Monza stands in San Biagio, the quarter opposite the Villa Reale – four hundred metres from the villa, a kilometre and a half from the station, three from the Autodromo, 16 from Milan Cathedral and from Linate airport, 43 from Malpensa.
Our recommendation is therefore for anyone wanting Milan within reach and Monza at the door – and for those who walk three kilometres through the park to the Grand Prix instead of sitting in traffic.
What lies within reach: the Villa Reale with the apartments and the rose garden, directly opposite; the park of seven hundred hectares, behind it; Monza Cathedral with the Iron Crown of the Lombards, a kilometre and a half.
For orientation: Linate airport is half an hour away, Malpensa an hour. Monza station takes you to Milano Centrale in twelve minutes, the Autodromo lies inside the park. In Monza one walks; to Milan one takes the train.
The Hotel De La Ville Monza offers seven categories, four suites among them.
The rooms: 20 square metres in the Deluxe to the town – our recommended category –, 25 in the second Deluxe, 30 in the Executive.
The suites: 32 and 35 in two suites to the park, 35 in a third suite, 42 in the fourth.
On the view: this hotel’s motif is the park of the Villa Reale opposite – two suites look out on it as Park View, while the recommendation faces the town as City View.
What applies equally to every category: breakfast for two, 50 US dollars credit per stay, the upgrade on arrival subject to availability, early check-in and late check-out subject to availability and a two-night minimum stay.
A night at the luxury hotel in Monza starts at 174 euros.
The minimum stay is two nights. Included are: breakfast for two, 50 US dollars credit, an upgrade on arrival subject to availability and early check-in and late check-out.
When it is loveliest: from April to June and from September to October, when the park is green and the Derby Grill terrace is laid.
What belongs to Monza: the Grand Prix. In early September Formula 1 races at the Autodromo, three kilometres away, and the town is full for a week. That is not a warning but the calendar: anyone coming then asks months ahead – and anyone wanting the park to themselves comes the week after.
When to ask early: for the Grand Prix in September, for Design Week in Milan in April and at Easter. In August many shops close.
How long to stay: two nights, the minimum, for villa, park and cathedral – three if Milan is added.
And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in the quietest week of the year just as you do in the busiest.
The Brianza is the hill country between Milan and Lake Como where the Milanese have built their villas for centuries – and Monza its capital, with a crown of iron in the cathedral and a racetrack in the park.

First the Villa Reale: the residence Maria Theresa had built for her son in 1777, with park and rose garden, directly opposite. Second Monza Cathedral: the chapel of Theodelinda with the Iron Crown, with which Charlemagne and Napoleon were crowned, a kilometre and a half. Third Milan: cathedral, La Scala and Brera, twelve minutes by train.
The package at this hotel is breakfast, credit, upgrade, check-in and check-out and a two-night minimum.
What our travel advisors arrange most often: the suite to the park, for the reason stated above, the table at the Derby Grill and the tickets for the Autodromo – because Grand Prix week in Monza without lead time consists only of looking for parking.
