This very luxurios hotel is so impressing. Each floor has its own gallery different periods in Italian history. Very clean rooms, great breakfast (and food in the restaurant). Staff is very helpful and pleasant. A stay to remember indeed. More

Front desk staff are very friendly, helpful and speaks good English. Hotel decor is a little over-the-top but rooms are clean and spacious. Fantastic location with the train station and town centre just 10 mins walk away. The breathtaking Lake Maggiore is just directly across the hotel. Only drawback was the limited spread and the grumpy-looking staff at the breakfast... More

We stayed over the long Easter weekend. The internal decoration of the hotel is on a par with a museum. We stayed on the 2nd floor in a mini suite. This floor was decorated in Venetian Chinoiserie style. The view from our balcony was of the lake and Isola Madre/Bella, which was excellent. Breakfast was fit for a king. You... More

This was a fabulous hotel! Beautiful, stately, quiet and serene. Everything from the front desk to the breakfast served in a charming room overlooking the Lake, from the room and the spa, the grounds and the city of Stresa.....was a wonderful experience. We would love to go back for a week at a time that is more in season. I... More

A very nice upscale hotel. Extremely nice staff, lovely grounds. March is a very off time of year but weather was very warm and nice, no crowds. Faces Lake Maggiore, 5 minute walk to town, so great location. More

I stayed at the GH des Iles Borromées during a 2-day seminar held at the adjoining ISTUD business school. The hotel's location is spectacular and the luxury of its furnishings overwhelming. This is where, a century ago, moneyed folks from Northern Europe would flock to in order to escape their dreary winters and explore the beautiful surroundings . Many reasonably... More

Fantastic hotel! Completely OTT luxury. Everything is gilded or marquetried, very clean, views from dining room over the lake were just amazing. The whirlpool bath in our room was a welcome soothing experience after a day's walking. The swimming pool/ sauna was surprisingly contempory in this Italian, palacial hotel. Entry to the pool, sauna turkish bath was free for hotel... More

I have arrived to Stresa by train from Milan, expecting to find a taxi easily at the train station. But there were none, and I decided to simply walk down to town and find the hotel there, since I knew it was right at the bank of Lago Maggiore. It was a very easy walk, despite two heavy bags, and... More

Stayed here for 3 nights for a work conference that was taking place in the conference suite behind the main hotel building. The hotel is very traditional, italianate rococo. Any surface that can be inlaid, has been inlaid. The lobby, when not richly carpetted is marble by the mile. My room - not one of the best - was still... More
