After all of our belongings were stolen, I changed our flights to return to the United States the next day. This meant that we had an early flight out of Silvio Berlusconi Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP). I wanted the most convenient hotel option and the Sheraton Milan Malpensa Airport Hotel & Conference Centre worked perfectly.

Anthony’s Take: The hotel was a great spot to spend the night before heading home. We were feeling down after having lost everything, but the staff was friendly, it offered a Club Lounge, and it was easy to get to our flight in the morning. The hotel offers a pool, spa, fitness center, two restaurants, a business center, and more. You’ll find everything you need here for a stay before flying out.

Sheraton MXP Booking

Booking

I booked a Classic Room, Guest room, 1 King on an award rate. I redeemed 42,000 Marriott Bonvoy® points for the night. It was €234 per night plus taxes and fees if I were to pay cash. Marriott did away with award charts a few years ago, but redemptions can be had for between 34,000 and 50,000 Marriott Bonvoy® points.

Transportation to/from the Hotel

We walked from Terminal 1 at Silvio Berlusconi Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) to the hotel and back the next morning. It’s a short distance and nice to not have to worry about a shuttle or Uber to get to the airport.

Location

The Sheraton Milan Malpensa is the only hotel with direct access to Terminal 1 and is around 30 minutes from downtown Milan. I wouldn’t recommend staying here when visiting the city, but it’s perfect for transit.

The lobby is massive with tons of open seating.

Sheraton MXP 4

There is no question that the hotel is part of the Marriott Bonvoy® program.

The lobby was quite empty around 8:30 PM when we arrived.

Sheraton MXP 13

I liked how modern it felt while being a little off (like this was a vision of modernity when it opened in October 2010).

Check-In

As mentioned, we arrived at the hotel around 8:30 PM. The room was ready and the kind agent upgraded us to a Executive Room, Club Lounge Access, Guest Room, 1 King. I was asked if we needed a late checkout and declined it since I knew we had a morning flight. I chose points as my welcome amenity for being Titanium Elite and the agent told us about the Club Lounge. She then printed our keys and we were off to the room.

Elevators are near reception and were quite speedy.

There are 437 rooms including 58 Club rooms and 21 suites at the Sheraton Milan Malpensa Airport Hotel & Conference Centre.

The shower was a good size. It’s always annoying when the shower door does not fully block the space and water goes on the floor. Water pressure and temperature were both fine.

GILCHRIST & SOAMES branded shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were mounted to the wall.

Sheraton MXP 21

A full-length mirror was outside the door.

The closet area was nearby. It offered lots of space for luggage (we had none since it was stolen, but would normally find this useful).

Inside the closet was an iron (not common in Italy), robes, and slippers.

Sheraton MXP 24

Sheraton MXP 25

Club Lounge

The Sheraton Milan Malpensa Airport Hotel & Conference Centre offers a makeshift lounge space next to the restaurant. It doesn’t feel very permanent, but it was nice that they offered it.

We decided to grab dinner at the Monterosa Bar next to the Club Lounge. We were exhausted after a long, sad day and this meal was at least comfort food.

I ordered a burger and fries.

There was some seating in the spa lobby.

Sheraton MXP 70

Overall Impression:

This hotel was exactly what we needed. While I prefer the Sheraton Frankfurt Airport Hotel & Conference Center or the Frankfurt Airport Marriott Hotel (review here) when it comes to airport hotels, we were quite content to rest here before our morning flight.
