Grand Hotel Des Iles Borromees

Lake view rooms provide comfort, space, and an unrivaled view of one of the most beautiful lakes in Italy. They are perfect for those seeking a relaxing atmosphere, whether during a busy business trip or a romantic holiday.

All rooms have either one king bed or two twin beds. The bathrooms are decorated with multicolored marbles and feature two washbasins and a whirlpool bathtub or walk-in shower. Each room also includes a safe, Wi-Fi internet connection, and an LCD TV with channels in both Italian and foreign languages.

The mansard or attic, with its unconventional spaces evokes a carefree, cozy, warm atmosphere; this is all the more true here at the Grand Hotel des Iles Borromées.

Our attic rooms are located into the two big domes built in 1911; guests can access these rooms from the 6th floor with a short staircase.

Offering the same comforts, as an average, attic rooms are smaller than the standard hotel rooms and in some cases you have to climb a couple of steps to look out of the dormer windows, the view is either towards the islands or the rooftops.

The bohemian atmosphere and the budged-friendly rates make them an excellent alternative to a more conventional accommodation.

The marvellous Suite is located on the first floor of the imposing Art Nouveau building and owes its name to Ernest Hemingway who stayed there immediately after the war as a convalescent and then in 1948. The American writer was so enchanted by the beauty of Stresa and the Grand Hotel des Iles Borromées that he quoted it in his famous book “Farewell to Arms”. The Hemingway suite is explicitly requested every year by wealthy guests who want to stay in the same room that today still brings the number 105. The Suite is composed by two bedrooms, one living room, a studio and three bathrooms, for a total of 240 square mts (about 2580 SqFt), the terrace adds 160 square mts to its surface and it enjoys a magnificent view of the Borromeo Islands, the Lake Maggiore and the surrounding Alps.

Royal suites feature separate living and bedroom areas. They are decorated to recreate a classical atmosphere, offer balcony with a wonderful lake view, and are perfect for an important private business meeting or for those who simply want the privacy of a comfortable living room. The bathrooms are richly decorated with multicolored marbles, exuding luxury, and feature either a whirlpool bathtub or a walk-in shower.
