Grand Hotel des Iles Borromees

$$ | Corso Umberto I 67, Stresa, 28838, Italy Fodor's Choice

This palatial, Liberty-style hotel has catered to a demanding European clientele since 1863, and although its spacious salons and guest rooms still have lavish turn-of-the-last-century furnishings, there are signs of modernity, including a redesigned bar (Hemingway Bar), low-calorie and gluten-free options at the restaurant, and extensive wellness treatments. The views, lakeside grounds, and amenities (like a whirlpool tub in every room) render this hotel a true luxury destination.

Pros

  • Bygone-era grace and style plus modern amenities
  • Sumptuous rooms, particularly the fabulous Hemingway Suite
  • Nice pool and spa selection

Cons

  • Bathrooms could use a refresh
  • Decor may be over the top for some
  • Internet can be on the slow side
