Why Stay in the San Siro Area for the Forum
📍 Close to MiCo CityLife
The MiCo Convention Centre sits in the CityLife district, directly adjacent to San Siro. From our apartments, it's a 15-minute walk or one metro stop (M5) to the venue. No long commutes, no fighting morning traffic.
💼 Business-Ready Apartments
Our apartments feature 1 Gb/s fibre WiFi, a comfortable workspace area, and all the amenities a business traveller needs. Prepare for your sessions, take calls, and work in peace — something a noisy hotel lobby can't offer.
💰 Smart Business Budgeting
During major events at MiCo, hotel rates in CityLife area soar to €300-500/night. An entire apartment for up to 5 people at €80-150/night means significant savings — especially if two colleagues share.
🍽️ Restaurants & Networking
The San Siro neighbourhood has excellent restaurants for business dinners, from traditional Milanese trattorias to modern dining. CityLife's restaurants and bars are also a short walk away — perfect for post-conference networking.

Design one-bedroom apartment, up to 5 guests. Two bathrooms, 1 Gb/s WiFi, smart lock for self check-in at any hour. Perfect for a solo business traveller or colleagues sharing. The living area doubles as a comfortable workspace, and the kitchen means you can grab breakfast before heading to the Forum.
🔴 San Siro Red Flat
Spacious two-bedroom apartment, up to 5 guests. Two bedrooms with closing doors for privacy, full kitchen, washer and dryer. Ideal for a small team or colleagues attending the Forum together — each gets their own bedroom, and the living area becomes a meeting space for evening debriefs.
