MO feels more like a business hotel, and the rooms are pretty small, as was stated earlier in this thread by vuittonsofstyle.

I'm all about people having different opinions. Yet the sheer lack of mention of the Excelsior Gallia is fairly shocking IMO. Everyone talks about how tired the PH and FS are, yet there is not a single mention of how fresh, modern, and beautiful the EG is! I visited all of those, and the MO, and the staff at each those other hotels commented on how beautiful the EG was! Yet not a single mention here in this so thread.

Prejudice runs deep. I think the MO Paris is spectacularly beautiful...so I know the MO Milan isn't to same standard. The FS in many cities is fresh and beautiful...so I know how dated the FS Milan is. The PH Istanbul and Sydney are wonderfully fresh, modern, and beautifully appointed...so I know how overdue for renovation the PH Milan really is. Yet nary a word here from such experienced travelers.
