"Located in the heart of Milan inside the historic, iconic Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the Galleria Vik Milano acts as both a hotel and a private museum. The South American art-loving import, Vik Retreats, claimed the former TownHouse Galleria and transformed it into this creative and forward-looking space. The hallways have been transformed into art galleries, and each suite is created as a site-specific art installation by Italian, Uruguayan, and international artists. The walls in each guest room are finished in the Italian design technique, “stucco Veneziano,” with twenty different color variations that compliment its decor—reflecting Milan’s rich artistic heritage. Even VIK Pellico Otto, their inspirational art gallery restaurant which overlooks the famous bull in the Galleria, is adorned with colorful marble tables and showcases work from many of the artists represented throughout the suites. From the Grand Terrace rooms to their Courtyard Suites, you’ll find pops of blue, red, and green, as well as a range of themes from surrealism to abstract. The space is an ode to Milan’s core charms: art, fashion, and style." - Jessica Chapel

"Galleria Vik Milano (formerly Seven Stars Galleria) As the only hotel inside the city’s famed 19 th -century Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II (the oldest shopping mall in the world), the place is in a league of its own, from the building’s hand-painted vaulted ceilings and original frescoes to touches like grand pianos in the rooms and the racing-green Bentley Continental Flying Spur that whisks guests around the city in style. There are 24 rooms in total, though the tall ceilings and mezzanine levels make them feel much more like private apartments than rooms. Designer furnishings and high-tech amenities complement the building’s original features and antiques, and guests get their own professional butler-concierge (all languages catered for), a choice of bed linen and pillow type, and as much vintage wine and champagne as they can handle. Personal laptops and shopping trolleys from the best luxury brands are also available on request."

Great location! The hotel is within 2-4 mins walking to famous attractions and local restaurants. The restaurant inside the hotel is a must try itself. We had the risotto with veal shank and the octopus. Both were amazing. I received the room upgrade for being Hilton Gold member. The room has a super view. I totally recommend this hotel to all Hilton members.

Definitely not five-star quality. The free breakfast felt like an afterthought, and my room was way down the hallway with no view. Dragging luggage around was a hassle because of all the steps, though the staff did help—after I called for assistance. But guess what? There’s no phone in the room, so I had to use my own. Then there’s the bathroom… The shower leaked everywhere, soaking the floor. No real wet-dry separation at all. Overall, just not the experience I expected.

I went around Rome, Florence, Milan on this trip and stayed at all small luxury hotels. The service at the Galleria Hotel in Milan was the worst. There is no respect and service for the guests. The service and attitude of the reception, which was even worse than that of an ordinary Hilton hotel... It was disastrous. But the location was really good and the shopping mall was close. The experimental interior of the room and the painting interior of the painting work gave me an aesthetic inspiration. The breakfast was good, and the mattress was comfortable. Especially the kindness and attitude of the bell boys were excellent. I want to compliment the bell boys. The hardware of the hotel is good, but the training of the front staff is needed again. The restaurant staff and the bell bois were absolutely excellent. This hotel will be more successful if only the reception staff are replaced.

I had high expectations for my stay at Galleria Vig Milano, especially given its iconic location in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in Milan. The photos online painted a very positive picture, and the elegance of the place suggested a unique experience. Unfortunately, reality turned out to be disappointing. The room we were given had a view of a dark, neglected inner courtyard—not what I would expect from a five-star hotel. The room itself was average, offering nothing remarkable, and the wear and tear of the property was noticeable in the decor and furnishings. Breakfast was decent but nothing outstanding. A complimentary drink at the bar was a nice touch, but it did little to elevate the overall experience. The most frustrating part was that a room with a view of the Galleria, arguably the key selling point of staying in this location, was only available for an additional fee, despite the already high cost of the stay. In conclusion, the hotel did not meet my expectations. In my opinion, it deserves no more than three stars instead of five. The stay was extremely expensive, and the standard and experience did not justify the price. If you’re planning a trip to Milan, I suggest looking elsewhere—there are better options in the same price range. You can always visit the Galleria without paying for a subpar hotel room. I definitely won’t be returning.

I was at first suprised by the rather low average rating for this hotel, and realized it was due to the fact that the hotel has been recently bought and renovated. The reviews are basically about two different hotels, and the current one is beautiful. The location and rooms are stunning, comfortable and quiet. I'm removing one star on account of a sub-par breakfast, simply unworthy of a five-star hotel.

BEWARE! DO NOT STAY HERE! This hotel is anything but high-end. We checked in to find the room dirty, with a horrible odor, and missing bedsheets. The air conditioning did not work and there was visible mold growing out of the vents. We were moved to a new room and shockingly found the same issues. We spoke to hotel management, cancelled our stay and were promised a full refund. We have not received a refund of money or Hilton honors points and were forced to pay for other accommodations out of pocket (they refused to refund the points so we could use them to rebook elsewhere). They claim they are not a Hilton hotel and don’t understand the process. We have been fighting with the hotel for over two weeks. Worst experience I have ever had at a Hilton property (whether owned by or affiliated)! “Management” does not return phone calls and refuses to help. Horrible!

Very original and interesting hotel interior! Each room was decorated by a different designer. Located next to the Gallery itself. The only complaint is the very slow room service (we waited about 40 minutes for two coffees and lemonade)

Just checked out at the hotel and I’m so disappointed the minute I checked in after such a long flight. The room was freezing cold I asked for them to send me a heater. They said they had no heaters in the hotel. I asked them to send me a kettle, they said they had no kettles left.. So I had to wait till morning to take a hot drink …. The shower did not go super hot …. It was a business trip, so for me, it was very busy, and I needed my ENVIROMENT to be relaxing, holistic and comfortable ….. Is also the extra charges to the room absolutely ridiculous …. The charged for 2 people an omelette and avocado 130 euros…. They kindly ordered me a taxi to the airport. They did not offer me a breakdown of the bill or thank me for my stay and welcome me back and apologise about the misunderstandings. I will never go back to this hotel. The environment was not warm and friendly, and I felt very rejected and disappointed about my experience as a whole.
