Excelsior Hotel Gallia, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Milan

Art and wine share a natural affinity, both shaped by time, care, and the way each of us interprets them. They’re not simply consumed; they invite attention and a personal connection. Last night, in the remarkable setting of Terrazza Gallia, on the 7th floor of Excelsior Hotel Gallia, overlooking Milan, this dialogue took shape through "A Journey through Art and Wine". Guided by Head Sommelier Paolo Emilio Porfidio, with a selection of wines from Il Calepino winery, and enriched by the storytelling of Danilo Dagradi, founder of Milanodavedere, two masterpieces from the Veneranda Biblioteca Ambrosiana — Leonardo’s Portrait of a Musician and Caravaggio’s Basket of Fruit - were experienced in a fresh and engaging way. Encountering these works outside their traditional museum setting, through carefully crafted reproductions, transformed the perspective. In this more informal and shared environment, they felt closer and more accessible, naturally becoming part of the moment. Experiences like this don’t seek to replace the museum, but to act as a bridge toward it, deepening Excelsior Hotel Gallia’s dialogue with the cultural world, encouraging a more personal connection with art, and ultimately inspiring the desire to discover the original works at the Ambrosiana firsthand. The journey will continue on June 4th, with another work from the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana and a new, carefully selected range of wines to discover.

Happy World Bee Day! 🐝 This year once again we celebrate it by supporting a concrete project in collaboration with Apicoltura Urbana Srl Società Benefit, dedicated to the protection of biodiversity and pollinators: our beehives hosted within the hotel, that gift us precious and naturally produced honey. Remaining in the same location throughout the season, our bees produce a true wildflower (millefiori) honey that reflects the biodiversity surrounding the hotel within a 3 km radius. Every month, our associates have the opportunity to visit the beehives and experience the project up close, gaining a deeper understanding of the vital role bees play. We are proud to contribute to an initiative that raises awareness and safeguards pollinators, fostering greater attention to biodiversity and the relationship between people and the environment. #ExcelsiorHotelGallia #WorldBeeDay #sustainability

On Friday, April 24, we were delighted to welcome Enrico Maurizio Naro, President of Federalberghi Milano and Centrale District, together with Camilla D., General Manager of Best Western Hotel Madison Milano and founding partner of Centrale District Milano, as guests at our Town Hall. Established in July 2017, Centrale District is a Zone 2 neighborhood committee that brings together a network of prestigious hotels located between Piazza Repubblica and Piazza Duca d’Aosta. Through their perspectives, we explored initiatives aimed at addressing local challenges and enhancing a district that truly represents a gateway to the city: Milano Centrale. As partners, we strongly believe in playing an active role within the local community. Our participation in initiatives such as urban plogging and blood donation campaigns reflects our commitment to creating a positive and lasting impact for both our guests and the city, in full alignment with our brand's values of giving back. Today, Centrale District connects key players from Milan’s hospitality sector, alongside art galleries, shops, and local businesses, united by the shared goal of building a cohesive, engaged network with a strong vision for the future. Together, we look forward to strengthening this collaboration and continuing to create long-term value for the city and its community.  #ExcelsiorHotelGallia #CentraleDistrict

When contemporary art meets refined spaces, new narratives emerge. In collaboration with Deodato.Group, we brought to life an exclusive exhibition of iconic works by Richard Orlinski, integrated throughout the hotel’s spaces. The French artist’s emblematic sculptures, defined by powerful forms and high‑impact chromatic surfaces, engage in a dialogue with the hotel’s architectural elegance, transforming the interiors into a contemporary art gallery. As part of the project, we also hosted a special talk in collaboration with Fidenza Village, where the artist shared insights into his creative process and the vision behind some of his most iconic works. The exhibition remains open for a few more days, offering guests an immersive experience where art, design, and lifestyle converge. #ExcelsiorHotelGallia #MilanDesignWeek

At Excelsior Hotel Gallia, sustainability is a journey shaped by conscious choices and ongoing care. Also this month, we visited the beehives hosted within the Hotel—home to hundreds of bees that gift us with precious, naturally produced honey. Created in collaboration with Apicoltura Urbana Srl Società Benefit, our urban beehive reflects the biodiversity surrounding the Hotel, from nearby parks to balconies and private gardens within a 3 km radius. Remaining in the same location throughout the season, our bees produce a true wildflower (millefiori) honey—an authentic expression of the city. These monthly visits allow our associates to witness firsthand the remarkable work behind the project, strengthening the bond between nature, people, and place. Guests can experience the essence of this initiative through our cuisine, where sustainability and responsible sourcing guide every choice. This season in particular, our honey is at the heart of the dessert “Nidi di Api”, currently featured on the Terrazza Gallia menu—bringing our values to the table, from hive to plate. #ExcelsiorHotelGallia #sustainability

At Excelsior Hotel Gallia, we believe that hospitality is also about responsibility and thoughtful, purposeful choices. On the occasion of Easter, we chose to recognize our associates with a traditional Italian Colomba, created as part of a social impact initiative developed in partnership with Libere Golosità, a social cooperative operating within the Vicenza Prison. Since 2019, the project has been fostering professional training and supporting social reintegration through meaningful employment opportunities. A modest yet significant gesture to celebrate our people, while contributing to a project that promotes real opportunities, shared values, and positive change. #ExcelsiorHotelGallia #LibereGolosità
