Train to Rome is somewhat tedious with an MXP to Milan Cadorno station. Trains from Milan to Rome leave from Centrale, requiring a metro connection.
For flights, try blu-express.com. We had a phenomenal deal in November, but ended up not needing the tickets.
The Excelsior is a lovely hotel. Enjoy your trip!
