Hotels near Fiera Milano Rho - HõMA Certosa District
Sleeping in Old Town for a trade show in Rho means an hour lost per day between cabs, traffic, and check-in lines. It's a math that doesn't add up, especially in the evening when you come back tired from the booth.
HõMA Certosa District is a 9-minute train ride from Rho Fiera Milano via the S5/S6 rail link. 24-hour self check-in via WhatsApp, 1 Gbps Wi-Fi, rooms with desks designed for people working at the fair. Arrive at 11 p.m. after cocktails at the pavilion and tomorrow morning take the train 350 meters away.
9 minutes by train from Rho Fiera
Milano Certosa station is about 350 meters from HõMA Certosa District. From there it is possible to reach Rho Fiera Milano directly by suburban lines S5/S6, without passing through the center and without changes. Duration varies by train and time slot: we always recommend checking the updated timetable before departure.
By car via A4/West Ring Road is 20-25 minutes. Non-ZTL area, free on-street parking in surrounding streets, subject to local availability and regulation. During big shows, the train is always faster.
