Overlooking the banks of Lake Maggiore, in the town centre of
Stresa and directly opposite to the Borromean Islands, the hotel is
a prestigious place both for its facilities and its history. It dates back
to 1908, the year in which it was inaugurated.
To enhance the entrance from the internal garden, in 2005 an
external shelter was implemented. The external shelter was built
up in liberty style and an inner door was created to embellish the
whole entrance. The inner door is in liberty style too and it is made
of blown glass, wrought steel and gold decorations.
Inside, mouth-blown glass was used to create a circular skylight
illuminating and decorating the great and precious staircase.
