Experience Milan at Its Best
Plan now to experience The Carlton, Milan, as the region prepares for the Milano-Corina 2026 Winter Olympics. As one of the most anticipated cultural and sporting events in Italy's recent history, Milan will transform with international visitors, artistic performances, world-class athletic competitions, and alpine drama on the nearby slopes of Cortina d'Ampezzo.
But the magic of Milan goes far beyond the games. From timeless classics to hidden gems, it's also your gateway to the city's timeless charms.
