A travel guide to the best places to visit

Galleria Vik Milano

Galleria Vik Milano is a very unique and exclusive boutique hotel located in one of the world’s oldest shopping malls: the beautiful and iconic Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. This world-class hotel is officially a five stars hotel as there is no formal body that recognizes any rating over five-star deluxe. But Galleria Vik Milano is considered a seven stars hotel because of the extreme luxury of the complex, its gracious services and its location in the heart of Milan only some steps away from some of the must-see attractions like the Duomo, the Teatro alla Scala and the Via Montenapoleone fashion district. It is also one of the few hotels in the world that is located inside a monument.

Many of the high-end luxurious rooms and suites have a balcony and a breathtaking view inside the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, while others have a wonderful courtyard view. All the rooms and suites have a large size, but one of the suites even has a surface area of no less than 580 sq.m. (6243 sq. ft.). The rooms and suites have a unique design, wooden floors, marble bathrooms, WiFi connection, a flat screen tv with satellite channels, a minibar, tea making facilities, an espresso machine, 24-hour room service and even a twice-daily housekeeping service so that your room or suite is always in order.

Galleria Vik Milano used to be called TownHouse Galleria, where they preferred to not call themselves a hotel but a townhouse instead. This is because they will do everything to make their guests feel like home, but even more luxurious and more pampered of course.

The guests of some of the suites are paired with a private butler that speaks their language and whose sole purpose is to get them whatever they wish for. One of the most common requests are for example to watch The Last Supper from Leonardo da Vinci in private, or to secure a reservation in the most popular restaurants of Milan. Privacy is also a very important aspect for the hotel as many guests are heads of state, famous artists, super models and top executives.

Galleria Vik Milano also has a fitness center, a spa, a library, a bar and two restaurants of which one has a posh lounge and a beautiful view on the dome and the octagon of Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, while the other has open-air terraces with spectacular views over Milan.

An extra service is the free-of-charge access to the Highline Galleria, which is a walkway across the iron and glass rooftops of Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, as well as to The World of Leonardo da Vinci museum.
