Emily Jablon:  Daraius and I went to Europe in September to celebrate our 2nd anniversary for ~2 weeks.  It was my first time in Italy so I was very excited!  In Italy, we visited Varenna on Lake Como, Milan, Venice, and Rome.

Since we were in Europe, we visited a friend in Strasbourg, France and also spent a night in Zurich.  We started our trip with a one day layover in Chicago to see friends!

How You Can Do It too!

1.   Hyatt Credit Card

You have to call Hyatt to book these free nights.  You can book a room as long as the hotel has standard rooms available for booking at Hyatt.com.  So you can check availability for yourself before calling Hyatt.

2.   Ultimate Rewards Points

Chase Ultimate Rewards Points from the Chase Sapphire Preferred, Chase Ink Bold & Ink Plus transfer in a 1:1 ratio to Hyatt hotels.

You can also transfer your Ultimate Rewards points from the Chase Freedom to the Chase Sapphire Preferred, Ink Bold or Ink Plus.  And from there to Hyatt hotel points.

It costs 30,000 Hyatt points for 1 night at the Park Hyatt in Milan since this is a top category 7 Hyatt hotel.  Or you could pay 15,000 Hyatt points and $300 for 1 night using the Points & Cash option.

You can book a standard room using your points at Hyatt.com.

We took the train from Varenna to Milan.  You can’t buy train tickets at the small train station in Varenna.  But you can buy them at the bar in the town square!

Before you get on the train, don’t forget to validate your ticket by inserting them in the machines on the platform!

It was only an hour trip from Varenna to Milan, and we were in Milan before we knew it!

The Outside of the Milan Train Station

There were lots of taxis outside of the Milan train station, so we got into a taxi because we had a lot of luggage.

The taxi fares were posted on the window of the taxi.

The Park Hyatt’s location is excellent, as the hotel is near most of the tourist sites and the main shopping streets in Milan.

The Duomo di Milano (Milan Cathedral) was less than a 5 minute walk from the hotel!

The hotel concierge gave us a map that listed all the interesting sites nearby and circled the location of the hotel on the map in red.

We walked to our room, and I immediately noticed the high ceilings and the mirrors.

Here’s a video of our room.

There were also romantic, glass lights placed throughout the rooms to add warmth and luxury.

I loved everything about the room and it’s the nicest Park Hyatt we have stayed in.  To me, the Park Hyatt Milan was nicer than the Park Hyatt Vendome in Paris where he had our honeymoon!
