Grand Hotel des Iles Borromées & SPA: Luxury, History, and Wellness on Lake Maggiore
The Grand Hotel des Iles Borromées & SPA is a 5-star luxury hospitality icon on Lake Maggiore, in Stresa. Opened in 1863, this historic Victorian-style hotel has hosted celebrities like Ernest Hemingway and offers an unparalleled blend of old-world elegance and modern, state-of-the-art services. Overlooking the splendid Borromean Islands, it is surrounded by a magnificent centuries-old park with Italian gardens, flowered avenues, and antique sculptures—the ideal setting for a charming and relaxing holiday.
