Milan hotels with a spa: Palazzo Parigi, Portrait or Gallia?

Q: When can I use Portrait Milano’s pool?

7.30am–8.30pm4. The gym stays open to hotel guests 24 hours a day.

Q: Does the Gallia spa open at weekends?

Yes: the official FAQ8 gives 8am–9pm, Monday to Sunday.

Among hotels with a spa in Milan, I would choose Palazzo Parigi for Brera, the Gallia for arriving by train, or Portrait for the Fashion District. At Portrait I would book direct: spa entry is included when you book through the hotel’s own website.

With children

At the Gallia⁸, children under 16 can use the pool and whirlpool when staying at the hotel, with an adult. The sauna, steam room, relaxation areas and gym are closed to under-18s.
At Portrait⁴, Family Time runs from noon to 3pm.

Before booking a treatment

At the Gallia⁸, I would book a time and arrive at least 15 minutes early, as the spa asks.

For privacy, Palazzo Parigi³ hires out the Royal Hammam Privée separately: about 100 m² with a 6 × 2-metre pool and steam baths. It takes up to 4 people, treatments excluded; the price is on request.
