I was not able to see other rooms than mine. I have gotten an Atelier Suite in the new part of the hotel with view to the Piazza Duca D'Aosta. Most of the interieur you can see on their homepage already so I haven't taken a lot of room photos. Sorry...

On the first day we have had lunch and dinner at the Restaurant Gallia. So we were also the first guests for lunch in this brand new restaurant The quality was very good.

The new chef is Enrico Fiorentini. He was the Executive Chef at the Il Canneto Restaurant at the Sheraton Malpensa before.

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.
The website list parking rates at 30-100 Euros/ night? Is that correct?

I don't know the exact range for the moment because there was no list available at the hotel.

My review, which I can't add on spg.com because of wrong language...

Die erste Nacht in der alten " Heimat "

Das lange Warten hat sich gelohnt. Das Excelsior Gallia Milano erstrahlt in neuem Glanz. Wir hatten die Freude, als eine der ersten Gäste am Tage der Wiederöffnung einzuchecken. Noch ist nicht alles fertig, aber was bereits fertig war, läßt Großes erahnen.

Wir haben bereits am ersten Tag das Restaurant Gallia ausgiebig beim Mittagessen und beim Abendessen getestet. Das Ergebnis war ausgezeichnet und sehr erfreulich. Die Federführung als Executive Chef hat ein alter Bekannter übernommen, Enrico Fiorentini, manchen noch aus dem Sheraton Malpensa bekannt.

Die Bar ist deutlich größer als früher und hell und freundlich eingerichtet.

Unsere Atelier Suite war nett eingerichtet und mit Liebe zum Detail ausgestattet. Das Bad dort verfügt unter anderem über Fußbodenheizung und auch über ein Dampfbad in der Duschkabine mit Chromotherapie.

Das Hotel verfügt über einen großzügigen Fitnessbereich im siebten Stock mit Tageslicht und Aussicht, welcher vom sechten Stock aus mit einem eigenen Aufzug zu erreichen ist.

Ich habe mich auf Anhieb wieder zuhause gefühlt, wie ehedem im alten Excelsior Gallia schon und freue mich schon auf meinen nächsten Aufenthalt hier.


Sorry for writing in german here but my english is not good enough to do this in english and the translation program drives me crazy

Slightly edited Google translate:

The first night in the old "home" The long wait was worth it. The Excelsior Gallia Milano shines again. We had the pleasure to check in as one of the first guests on the day of reopening. Not everything is ready, but what was already done, can suggest large. We have tested the first day the restaurant Gallia extensively at lunch and at dinner. The result was excellent and very enjoyable. Responsibility as the executive chef has taken over an old acquaintance, Enrico Fiorentini, some still known from the Sheraton Malpensa. The bar is set much larger than before, and bright and friendly. Our studio suite was nicely furnished and equipped with attention to detail. The bathroom there has, among other things, underfloor heating and a steam room in the shower with chromotherapy. The hotel has a spacious fitness area on the seventh floor with natural light and views, is which reach from the sixth floor from a private elevator. I have immediately felt at home again, as formerly in the old Excelsior Gallia already and am looking forward to my next stay here. Sorry for writing in German here but my english is not good enough to do this in english and the translation program drives me crazy

The Excelsior Gallia lights in new shine...

Not everything is already ready, but everything you can see, let you suggest great things for the ( nearer ) future...

We have tasted on the first day...

Atelier Suite and not Studio Suite...

...which you can reach...

...


And that's the reason why I do hate the automatic translation... sorry
