Where can I take a shower very close to the Milan airport?

Question

I am arriving early one morning from USA, and want to freshen up to spend day in Milan before I leave for Venice late in the day.

Answer 1

i'm sure there is  a shower at the airport - but you are talking italy: you might to face your worst toilet-experience....

rather stay sweaty

ask in a hotel around the airport to help you

Answer 2

I've flown in and out of Malpensa countless times, but don't recall seeing a shower.  Maybe there is one in the Alitalia Lounge (if such a lounge exists).  Otherwise, try one of the hotels that I've linked to below (the first one is nice and they often have last-minute room deals).  Alternately, I know a one-star hotel near Milan's Duomo where you could pay EUR 30 for a shower and a place to store your bags.  There is no website, but see the third link for photos and a phone number.
