Inside the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, easily the most exclusive address in Milan, lies the luxurious boutique Seven Stars Galleria. The GVEII is one of Milan's most beautiful and unusual monuments: a glass-vaulted double arcade whose three storeys house the city's most elegant shops, fashion boutiques, cafes and restaurants.

The hotel aims to provide great luxury in a setting intimate enough to achieve a sense of homeliness. Because staff need only focus on a few customers at a time, they can bring remarkable levels of attentiveness to each and every guest, and are always available to serve.

The facilities

Because of its boutique nature, it is unable to offer as comprehensive a range of facilities as you'd find at a larger hotel. On the other hand, the hotel provides each room with its own personal butler, who will organise and assist with your entire stay, from food to flowers and things to do in Milan. The level of service is simply unparalleled.

The rooms

The 11 rooms of Seven Stars Galleria are each the absolute definition of discrete elegance. All are equipped with tasteful designer furniture, and are quality-micromanaged in all areas. The coffee, the books on the shelves and everything else is the finest available in Italy. Each room even comes with its own leather-bound laptop, connected to a fax machine and colour printer.
