The Gray
Design-forward and theatrical. Bold materials, a dark palette, quirky statement pieces — the Le Noir restaurant is literally all black, and the lobby sports a red-and-fuchsia swing chair. Not for guests who want white walls and open-air serenity.
Ask for a Gallery-view room — you get a direct sightline onto the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, which is spectacular at night
Why It Matters
One of only 21 rooms, standing directly opposite Europe's most famous glass-roofed shopping arcade. Family-run for three generations, independently owned within the Sina Hotels group, and a long-standing member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World.
21-room design boutique hotel sitting directly across from the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, 100 metres from the Duomo. The Art Nouveau façade conceals interiors built on deliberate contradictions — steel against ethnic wood, silk against animal prints, suspended beds above Travertino marble bathrooms fitted with circular Jacuzzis. Run by third-generation hotelier Valentina Simili, it has the feel of a private member's club, not a hotel.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
City
The entry-level room and, at 18 sqm, genuinely compact. But the design packs a punch — parquet flooring, soundproof windows, Travertino marble bathroom. Good for solo travellers or couples who plan to spend most of their time exploring the city. Courtyard-facing.
Queen · 18 sqmCity Deluxe
Steps up from the City room in both size and personality. King bed, bold ethnic-inspired décor, wenge wood floors. Can accommodate a third guest. Still in the compact boutique range, but far more comfortable as a base for a longer stay.
King · 23 sqm
Executive Junior Suite
The largest accommodation at 50 sqm, spread across two floors in a bi-level layout. Living area on one level, bedroom above. Sleeps up to 5 guests, making it the only real option for families or small groups. The bi-level design gives it a genuinely apartment-like feel — unusual for a boutique hotel this size.
Queen · 50 sqm
Gallery
The one to request if the Galleria view matters to you — and it will. At 32 sqm with a king bed and direct sightlines onto the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, this is a meaningful step up. Guests regularly cite the view as a highlight of the entire stay.
King · 32 sqmJunior Suite
At 38 sqm, this is where the hotel's more theatrical design ideas get room to breathe. Some configurations feature a suspended/floating bed, private Turkish bath or hammam, and a separate living area. The in-room private gym option is available in select suites at this tier.
