Excelsior Hotel Gallia Milano

The Art of Milanese Hospitality

In the heart of Milan, overlooking Piazza Duca d'Aosta, Excelsior Hotel Gallia, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Milan stands as more than a destination—it embodies the living narrative of Italian hospitality, where history and innovation converge with quiet confidence.

Founded in 1932 by the ancient Milanese Gallia family, the hotel is still an institution in Italy's most dynamic and avant-garde city. Appreciated for its grandeur, distinctive in its monumental features and the unmistakable appearance of its façade, it harmoniously combines cutting-edge fashion, iconic design and stylistic heritage, with artisanal details and fascinating perspectives. 

At its summit lies the Katara Suite, one of Europe's most expansive accommodations. Spanning 1,000 square meters, this private sanctuary features multiple bedrooms, panoramic terraces, and an exclusive spa carved into the building's historic dome—creating not merely a suite, but an intimate world designed around privacy and atmosphere.

Gianrico Esposito, whose four-decade journey in hospitality continues to evolve with unwavering passion, guides this landmark with a philosophy that true luxury transcends architecture. For him, excellence lies in personalizing each guest's experience, understanding not just their needs, but the purpose of their visit.

The Hotel functions as a complete hospitality ecosystem: a two-floor Shiseido spa, rooftop terrace and bar, sophisticated meeting spaces, a wine cellar for private tastings and culinary masterclasses, and fine dining curated by the young and talented Executive Chef Vincenzo Lebano, in collaboration with F.lli Cerea, the renowned chefs of the Michelin-starred Da Vittorio. Every space reflects layered sensibility, where comfort and refinement meet Milan's contemporary rhythm.

Behind the scenes, a team of over 250 professionals orchestrates seamless experiences through daily cross-departmental briefings, ensuring each guest's journey—whether for business, celebration, or discovery—is carefully crafted.

Excelsior Hotel Gallia transcends accommodation—it's a destination for return visits. Reflecting Milan's soul, rooted in elegance and built on exceptional service, it evolves continuously with its city. The hotel invites guests not simply to visit, but to discover what thoughtful hospitality becomes when every detail receives meticulous attention.
