A.O.L.: Accommadation on Line
Tuscany



 

A five star Belle Époque hotel right in front of the lago Maggiore facing the beautiful "Iles des Borromees" completely refurbished in the 90's, The structure is divided in three wings: Stresa, Impero and Berano. This last one houses the junior suites and suites which are all spacious and lavishly decorated. All rooms in this hotel are very nice. As a general policy, the hotel offers free upgrades to all arriving guests (depending on availability). The hotel is one of the "Locali Storici d'Italia," (historical houses operating as hotel for more than a 100 years).

This 172 room hotel is also very well equipped for seminars, with beautiful salons dedicated just to that, so it is almost impossible for hotel guests to feel unease with the presence of a seminar in the hotel. You can see the Borromean Islands from many rooms, which are furnished in an Italian/French Empire style, including rich ormolu, burnished hardwoods, plush carpets, and pastel colors. The bathrooms look as if every quarry in Italy were scoured for matched marble.

 

The hotel opened in 1863, attracting titled notables and guests such as J. P. Morgan. Hemingway sent the hero of A Farewell to Arms here to escape World War I. The elegant public rooms, with two-tone ornate plasterwork and crystal chandeliers, once hosted a top-level meeting among the heads of state of Italy, Great Britain, and France in an attempt to stave off World War II. Another feature is the beauty and health center, one of the best equipped one can find. And last but not least, the hotel also operates a 27-room Residenza in a separate building, where the prices are 20% lower and the rooms are decorated in a modern style. The staff can help you arrange for golf and watersports.
