Book Hotel Principe di Savoia unless the address on Via Manzoni matters to you specifically. At $910 against $1,654 it is nearly half the price, comes with an indoor pool and spa tub the Armani lacks, and by review count alone has established itself with more guests. The Armani's edge is entirely a matter of address and design pedigree, not amenity count, since it counters with only a hot tub and pet allowance in return.
This is Giorgio Armani's own hotel, opened in 2009 inside a 1937 Rationalist-era palazzo on Via Manzoni, in the heart of the Quadrilatero della Moda. The interiors are pure Armani Casa: bronze, ebony, dark wenge wood, low lighting, a restrained monochrome palette that reads more private club than hotel. Rooms come with walk-in wardrobes sized for the shopping bags you'll accumulate two minutes from Prada and Dolce & Gabbana. It draws a fashion-week crowd and anyone who wants their five-star stay to look like a Giorgio Armani ad.
Fashion-conscious travellers who want to be inside the Quadrilatero della Moda and don't mind paying for a designer's name on the door.
The Principe di Savoia is the grande dame on Piazza della Repubblica, opened in 1927, all marble staircases, chandeliers and gilt mouldings, restored under the Dorchester Collection with a Presidential Suite that once held its own pool. Acanto restaurant and the President's bar carry that old European hotel formality, brass fittings, dark leather, waiters in white jackets. It sits on a wide, grand square rather than a boutique shopping street, and suits guests who want scale, spa facilities and a lobby that feels institutional rather than personal.
Guests who want old-world grandeur, a proper spa with pool, and better value for a five-star Milan stay.
The Principe di Savoia's price advantage costs the guest the hot tub and pet-friendliness that the Armani offers, though it gains a full indoor pool the Armani doesn't have.
The Principe di Savoia's 1927 marble-and-chandelier grandeur is the more beautiful building to stand in, though the Armani is the more precisely designed room to sleep in.

“It’s an odd thing to say but the Principe di Savoia is the best smelling hotel I’ve ever been to.”
Principe di Savoia guests come away happier, consistently praising standout staff, atmosphere and comfort with almost no complaints, while Armani guests note noise and high prices for the price paid.
“Excellent experience probably best hotel in Milan ”
Excellent hotel with very friendly staff and Excellent food , I had the best Osso buko ever, despite it was in room service which is not usually as good as the food in the restaurant...but this was exquisite....
“Luxurious retreat in Milano”
Brought my elder parents to this hotel and it was pure luxury! It’s an odd thing to say but the Principe di Savoia is the best smelling hotel I’ve ever been to. It’s like they pump out a signature scent on each floor. Also the pool and the spa were a welcome break from sightseeing.
