Milan is Italy's financial capital and hosts its only stock exchange, but its ancient Celtic roots, role in the Italian Renaissance, and status as one of the world's four fashion capitals make it a great city to explore once your business meetings are over. Milan is also home to four five-star Sheraton hotels, such as the brand-new  Milan San Siro.

With its 310 well-appointed rooms, swimming pool, terraced garden, and 21 conference spaces, the Milan San Siro is an ideal home base both for work and play. Here's how to get the most out of your free time in Italy's big business center.
