Breakfast and Dining
Breakfast is a buffet served in the breakfast room, charged separately unless it is in the rate; guest reports put it at about €16. The restaurant serves local and international dishes at lunch and dinner every day, and the Lindebergh Pizzeria runs alongside it, so the hotel is one of the few near Malpensa with a full evening menu on site.
The bar serves drinks and snacks, a kids’ menu is available, and room service is available.
Facilities and Services
The fitness centre is free for guests and open long hours. There is no pool or spa. Three meeting rooms take small conferences and the terrace hosts summer events.
Check-in is from 3:00 pm and check-out by noon. Pets of up to 15 kg are welcome for a non-refundable fee of €25. Childcare can be arranged. The hotel is smoke-free.
Location and Transportation
Somma Lombardo is the market town north of the airport, and the hotel is 8 to 9 km from the terminals by Hilton’s figures, about 20 minutes by road; Booking.com gives 10 km. Hilton lists the Malpensa shuttle as available at set times, free on the scheduled runs and charged outside them, and guests describe hourly departures from the hotel on the hour, free in the morning. Reserve with the hotel in advance and confirm the current timetable, because the terms have changed more than once. A taxi to either terminal takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Linate and Bergamo are not served.
Somma Lombardo station, about 1 km away, has regional trains to Gallarate and Milan, and the Malpensa Express from the airport reaches Milano Cadorna in about 37 minutes for €15. Lake Maggiore is 20 km away: Arona and the Rocca di Angera are 20 minutes by car, and the Castello Visconti di San Vito is 2 km from the hotel. Central Milan is 55 km.
Self-parking is free and partly covered, which with the distance from the terminals makes the hotel a park-and-fly base rather than a walk-to-the-gate one; the transfers guide compares the options.
