The couture doesn't get any more haute than in Milan, and the Four Seasons Hotel Milano plays host to supermodels and fashion magnates, especially during Fashion Week. Another hotel that caters to the high-end carriage trade is the Island Shangri-La Hong Kong, which offers direct access to the city's famous designer boutiques. Bargain hunters will appreciate the fair rates at such hotels as the Lombardy, within walking distance of New York department stores, and the Sofitel Minneapolis, near the gigantic Mall of America.
