Where to actually take her in Italy

Milan is done on foot and by metro, Rome is done by taxi, and that is the first decision of the evening. In both cities the good hotels are used to business guests who arrive late and ask nothing, and the hotel bars are often better than the places around them. To avoid: anywhere recommended by a stranger in the street.

Hotels that do not make it awkward

The single most common way an evening goes wrong in Italy 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.

• Nhow Milano Milano, Tortonano dress code drama · staffed 24h, late check-in is normal · walkable to everything
• Sina The Gray Milano, Duomoproper suites, not a box with a bed · discreet entrance, front desk asks nothing · walkable to everything
• Hotel Vilòn Roma, Centroquiet enough to talk · discreet entrance, front desk asks nothing · proper suites, not a box with a bed
• The First Roma Dolce Roma, Centroa view worth the first ten minutes · hotel bar - she can arrive without crossing a lobby · walkable to everything

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 Italy they are not always the same place.

• Brera e Porta Nuova Milanowalkable to everything · quiet enough to talk · dress properly or you will feel it
• Via Ripamonti Milanostreet scene, not a venue · residential, private, nobody looks twice
• Parioli Romaresidential, private, nobody looks twice · quiet enough to talk
• Via Salaria Romastreet scene, not a venue · busy and loud after midnight

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.
