The Excelsior Hotel Gallia is a luxury institution in Milan, a magnificent five-star hotel situated in Piazza Duca d’Aosta opposite the Central Station. This historic building, originally opened in 1932, has been completely renovated by architect Marco Piva, who skillfully combined Belle Époque elegance with contemporary design, creating a unique atmosphere. The strategic location makes the hotel the ideal base for exploring the city, with direct connections (metro and train) to the Duomo, the Fashion Quadrangle (Quadrilatero della Moda), and the Rho Exhibition Centre. It is part of the renowned The Luxury Collection brand, synonymous with hospitality excellence.
The 235 rooms and suites offer a luxurious retreat, characterized by bespoke furnishings and fine materials, inspired by Milanese history and culture.

Guests in suites and higher-category rooms benefit from the renowned butler service.
The crown jewel of the culinary offering is the Terrazza Gallia restaurant, located on the top floor (7th) with a spectacular view over the city and the Central Station. Led by the Cerea brothers, three-Michelin-star chefs, the restaurant offers refined and innovative Italian cuisine. The Gallia Bar, on the ground floor, is an elegant meeting spot for a glamorous aperitif, while the Roofbar on the terrace is perfect for sunset cocktails.
