Galleria Vik Milano makes an instant impression. A boutique hotel and art gallery hybrid- each of its striking rooms and suites has been created by an individual artist. So expect abstract installations- pop art styles of colour- sculptures- murals and even frescoes inspired by the Renaissance. A sense of heritage connects all the spaces- with stucco Veneziano and polished parquet flooring flowing across the hotel- right up to the restaurant at skyline level. Its flagship restaurant Vikissimo is just as artfully designed- celebrating the architecture of the dining room that looks out across the Galleria at the core of the city. This is the place for breakfast- lunch and dinner with a view- right through to drinks before a night on the town. Or there is I Dodici Gatti Pizzeria. Set in the rooftops- it promises amazing views across Milan- as well as some of the finest wood fired crusts and mozzarella this side of Naples. Ask your waiter or waitress for the story behind the name- and they may well tell you about the legendary 12 cats of the city. Galleria Vik Milano is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
