The hotel is located in the historical center of Milan and housed within the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. Originally designed in 1861 by Giuseppe Mengoni and built between 1865 and 1877, the Galleria is named after the first King of Italy, Vittorio Emanuele II. The five-story structure features two glass-vaulted arcades and a massive central dome that connects the Piazza del Duomo to the Piazza della Scala.^[2]

Previously known as TownHouse Galleria, the hotel said that its seven-star rating had been certified by the Switzerland-based SGS rating and inspection company, but SGS also said they did not know who had made the original designation. It had formerly been called the Seven Stars Galleria.^[3] In 2017, the (then) 46-room hotel began offering 24-karat gold bedsheets for the Seven Stars Octagon Presidential Suite - a set was described as sold for US$293,878, while the suite was €5,492.70 a night.^[4]

In 2019, the Vik Retreats group bought the hotel alongside the Seven Stars hotel in Milan, both for $18 million. They later turned the TownHouse Galleria into the Gallery Vik.^[5][6]
