It was established in 1887. The hotel has 231 rooms. The original stock exchange of Milan was established in 1808 in the seat of the Mount of piety of the city. The following year it was moved to the Palazzo dei Giureconsulti, in Piazza Mercanti, and at the beginning of the 20th century it was relocated again in a newly constructed building in Piazza Cordusio; this building now houses the headquarters of the Poste Italiane postal service, and has thus been renamed Palazzo della Posta (\"Post Palace\").

The name is used both to refer to the gate proper and to the surrounding district (quartiere), a part of the Zone 1 division (the historic city centre), including the major avenue of Corso Sempione. The gate is marked by a landmark triumphal arch called Arco della Pace (\"Arch of Peace\"), dating back to the 19th century, although its origins can be traced back to a gate of the Roman walls of Milan. This Undivided Back Era (1901-07) postcard offers clear images of there early buildings, but the card shows edge wear.
