Where to actually take her in Milan

Milan is small and crossable: you can spread an evening between Brera, Porta Venezia and the Navigli without losing an hour in between. What you want to avoid is the front desk that asks questions at midnight and the place where you have to shout. A hotel in the centre with a 24-hour desk solves both.

Hotels that do not make it awkward

The single most common way an evening goes wrong in Milan is the front desk. Some houses charge a visitor fee, some ask for her passport, some simply do not allow a second person in the room after midnight. The houses below are the ones worth booking in this city - and because policies change with the season and the manager, the one question worth asking at reservation is whether a registered guest may come up to the room.

Bars for the first drink

Forty minutes in a bar before anything else is not a formality - it is how two adults find out whether the evening is worth having. Pick somewhere you can hear each other.

The areas, honestly

Every city has a district everyone names and a district where things actually happen. In Milan they are not always the same place.

Three things that cost nothing

• Be where you said you would be, at the time you said it. Punctuality reads as respect, and it is the cheapest respect there is.
• Settle the practical part at the start, once, and never bring it up again.
• Book the room in your own name and go up first. Never ask her to check in for you.
