Welcome to SAN GUIDO PORTA VOLTA HOTEL

Authentic hospitality in the heart of Milan

A FAMILY-RUN BUSINESS

more than a century of Milanese history

Hotel San Guido Porta Volta since 1909

Hotel San Guido Porta Volta was built in 1909 and was then called Hotel Volta. In a hundred years of Milan's history, it has become a landmark of the area.

Since it has always belonged to the same family who handed it down from generation to generation, it can rightly be considered a family business.

According to the new project of Porta Volta recently approved, the building of Feltrinelli will be coupled by a symmetrical but smaller construction that will house the historical Museum of the Resistance. The project also includes a green area of trees along the ancient Spanish walls.

In the summer 2020 Porta Volta will also house the new Design Museum.
