Hi all! Hi everyone! I’m writing regarding the ADG tournament in Milan on October 24–25. Unfortunately, there is also a fairly large event taking place at Fiera Milano on those dates, and room prices are rising quickly. For this reason, we contacted some hotels in the area to negotiate lower-than-usual rates.

The Living Hotel,
3-star superior hotel located directly opposite the tournament venue, has sent us the following offer, which replaces the current rate (around €140 for a double room). Please note that this offer is valid only until September 21 and only for 10 double rooms.

Period: October 23–25, 2026 (2 nights)
Room type and quantity: 10 Comfort Rooms
Single occupancy (DUS), on the ground floor, with external access to the common/breakfast areas
Double/Twin rooms on the first floor

Agreed rates:

€115/night for single occupancy
€125/night for double occupancy

Option deadline and booking terms:
Due to the Expo Detergo trade fair taking place at the same time — a four-yearly event that generates very high demand in the area — the rooms above are being held at the agreed rate until September 21. Contact email: Marco commerciale@mylivinghotel.com

Le Favaglie, 4 stars superior.
about a 10-minute walk from the tournament venue. It also offers a free shuttle service throughout the weekend, both from the nearest metro station and to/from the tournament venue. You just need to call a number and the shuttle arrives very quickly. We tested it during the FOW World Championship in August and it worked extremely well.

In this case as well, it would be better to book by the end of September, although this is not mandatory.

Rates:
€100 for a single room
€130 for a double room
