Business Hotel Verbania Lake Maggiore - meeting, congress, conferences, meeting rooms...
The Borromeo Islands are verdant jewels floating idyllically
in Lake Maggiore, and the finest place from which to observe
their beauty is the equally stunning Grand Hotel des Iles Borromees,
located on the lakefront in Stresa. The hotel's beautiful Belle
Epoque architecture has been faithfully preserved both outside
and inside. Lavish decor faultlessly recreates a grand era of
days gone by, while recent refurbishments ensure the ultimate
in comfort. Built in 1861, the hotel has been host to many prominent
guests. Today, its guests still enjoy the business hotel's unrivalled
beauty, unprecedented luxury and world-class facilities. In

facing the Borromeo Islands, near the town center. The small
town of Stresa has a waterfront of about 1.2 mi/2 km. Malpensa

from 1861, this recently renovated hotel exudes the air of an
exclusive private mansion, complemented by formal gardens, two
swimming pools, and a private heliport. Escape to this illustrious

town of Stresa. Stresa is also a favoured destination of legendary

chandeliers in the elegant Il Borromeo, which serves fine Italian
cuisine. The lobby bar offers drinks accompanied by piano music.

drapes, rich colors and fabrics, Murano chandeliers and bathrooms
with Italian marble tiles and a whirlpool. Most lake-facing
rooms include a private balcony
To the tourist, who for the first time arrives in Stresa, is
offered a breathless sight. At the beginning a superb window
of the lake front, delineated with lines of palm trees, with
flourishing gardens and facades of majestic hotels. Then, turning
to look at the lake, enchanted, as if emerged from the same
waters the spectacular Borromean Islands (Isola Bella, Isola
Madre and Isola dei Pescatori). It is enough the splendour of
these visions to make one understand how Stresa has been able
to become one of the maximum meetings of international tourism.
The town, already at the middle half of Lungolago di Stresa
the 19th century was the most elegant place to stay, the most
visited by the international upper middle class. Others again
are the reasons of so much fame and prestige. Here art and nature
are mixed together in a way that one respects the other, here
the hospitality is to boast to generation and the cultural initiative,
that happens in the course of the year, they are the necessary
corollary of it.
This business hotel in Verbania, Lake Maggiore, is constantly
being renewed. It has repeatedly been enlarged and since the
early 20th century has its present appearance. At the same time
the park has adapted to frequent adjustments, although certain
peculiarities remain. Among those worth mentioning are the fashionable
quarters to the east, the greenhouses and storage rooms to the
west (an area currently used as the Residenza del Parco and
Sporting), an area to the south set in the English manner with
small detached houses and outbuildings and, as a poster of the
time read, “a huge park and garden with tennis and croquet courts”.
