MILANO, IT.September 3, 2015 - Owned by Katara Hospitality, the Excelsior Gallia Hotel is an iconic point of reference in Milan and, thanks to the meticulous multi-million restoration of the historic palace which includes a new modern wing, exudes splendour and prestige. First opened as “Palazzo Gallia”, the hotel has strong links with the city's history and from its privileged position in the up-and-coming Porta Nuova area, the new centre of Milanese life, is looking towards Milan's future.
