Character and identity
A 1932 art deco landmark fused with a glass-and-steel tower, the Excelsior Hotel Gallia anchors Porta Nuova, Milan's most current quarter, directly opposite the Stazione Centrale. The 2015 renovation channels Jazz Age decadence through a thoroughly contemporary Italian lens: ground-floor salons showcase B&B Italia, Cassina, Fendi Casa and Flos alongside more than 500 contemporary artworks. The almost 11,000-square-foot Shiseido Spa Milan crowns the top two floors, while the rooftop Terrazza Gallia, overseen by the Cerea Brothers, plates modern Italian cooking under Fendi Outdoor furnishings. A hidden cigar bar and a panoramic mixology bar facing the station round out the social scene.
Who's it for
Best for:
Design-literate couples and business travellers who want a Milan base with serious cultural and culinary credentials. The station-facing location suits anyone with meetings, train connections to Lake Como or the Veneto, or fashion-week appointments. Foodies will gravitate to the Cerea Brothers' kitchen, the 700-label cellar tours and the Lebano cooking classes.
Should look elsewhere:
Travellers who want a quiet, residential Milan stay in Brera or the Quadrilatero will find the Stazione Centrale setting transactional rather than romantic. Families seeking a kids' club or a resort feel, and beach-and-pool holidaymakers, are in the wrong city, let alone the wrong hotel.
Bottom line
What sets this place apart is the design pedigree and the rooftop programme: few Milan hotels combine an art deco bone structure, a museum-grade contemporary collection and a Cerea Brothers restaurant under one roof. Book a tower suite for the skyline views, and angle for shoulder-season rates outside Salone del Mobile and fashion weeks, when the city, and the price, calm down.
