What do you mean?! You can use SNAs only for every suite category in the SNA pool.

At the gallia for example even for the top suite...

Each hotel decides their own fancy suite category names, standard suite pools and SNA pools. Naming the lowest suite "Executive Suite" does not mean it will or won't be included in either of the aforementioned pools.

I'll be in Milan on December 1 (at the Westin Palce) and will take a walk over to see if it actually opens on time and report back...

That would be a minor miracle: something in Italy that opens on time!

Looking forward to your follow-up post with your impressions.

It was a soft opening called preview with the rooms on the first and the second floor. The restaurant Gallia and the bar on the basement are open. The rooftop bar and the restaurant at the seventh floor will be opened next year as you can also see at their homepage. The gym at the sixth floor has a nice view and seems to be well done at least for me. A nice detail are the glas roofs over the outside parking in front of the hotel if someone remember the problems with the birds...

There is also a part of the old staff. For me it was like coming home and in this sense I am at home.

My parking ticket has the number 001...

and the luggage ticket was number 0002.
