Exeo revolving door fitted to the Hotel Principe di Savoia in Milan

As well as being the Italian capital of fashion and finance, Milan is also an international centre for conferences, meetings, scientific events and social gatherings. Milan has a hotel where these events have always been held, and which is still boasting a timeless beauty: we are talking about the world famous Hotel Principe di Savoia. Designed by the Italian architect Cesare Tenca and first opened in 1927, the Hotel Principe di Savoia has always been one of the top meeting places in Milan which, since the day it opened, has welcomed foreign businessmen and traders, cultural icons, politicians and the aristocracy.

The "neoclassical" frontage of the Hotel Principe di Savoia is the welcoming entrance of one of the most exclusive hotels in Milan, which is why the hotel has a smart, tasteful entrance, beautifully matched with the rest of the building, and boasting the traditionally most exclusive symbol featured in all luxury hotels: the revolving door.

The traditional manual revolving door, however, has been replaced by a more modern, automatic revolving door. The contract to automate the entrance of the Principe di Savoia Hotel impressive hall has been awarded to Ditec, which installed one of its smartest and clean looking automatic doors, boasting a smooth design and fitted with an advanced technology, specially in terms of safety: the Exeo revolving door.

Exeo, despite its solid and compact frame, rotates quietly and unobtrusively and gently accompanies anyone passing through. The door frame has been manufactured by Ditec with extreme precision, according to customer's requirements, ensuring a product which is perfectly matched with the rest of the building. The door diameters can range from 180 to 400cm. A larger diameter entrance can be accommodated by fitting Exeo older sister: Ampla revolving door.

The fixed and moving supporting structure have been manufactured with PAM 35 aluminium profiles and are fitted with unbreakable glass of different thickness; the top structure is fitted with a steel frame covered by sheet metal panels, in order to hide the gear motor and the electronic control unit, which operate and control the door. To ensure the safest conditions during the moving wings' operation, the entire system is fitted with a sophisticated electronic control panel which controls each movement and which can be equipped with many optional devices.

With this latest installation Ditec has once again proved its capability to successfully match high technological and safety standards with a smart looking automatic door, perfectly blended with any frontage, even the most exclusive and prestigious environments such as an upper 5 star hotel located right in the heart of Milan.
