Milan's central landmark, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, opened its doors to the public in 1877. Italy's oldest active shopping gallery, with its iconic iron-and-glass roof, is an architectural masterpiece by Giuseppe Mengoni.
In 2007, they decided to open a luxury hotel, initially named TownHouse Galleria. Today, it's called the Galleria Vik Milano. It features 89 uniquely designed rooms and suites and showcases a collection of art that reflects Milan's rich artistic heritage.

Galleria Vik's unique location opens up a new perspective on the Grande Dome – the visually unique octagon in the center of the building.
In addition, most suites have direct internal views of the Galleria via expansive windows and balconies.

And it's not just the location that makes this hotel so special. A Geneva-based certification company, SGS, gave it a seven-star rating.
The rooms and suites are custom designed and decorated by over 40 international artists. As a result, each room has its unique and unmistakable style.

The walls are finished in stucco Veneziano, a luxurious Italian painting technique to make the surfaces pop.
You'll love this if you are not keen on the plain-white walls. The different color variations, including the art pieces, complement the suite's design. Even the bathrooms feature art installations or some exceptional marble.
