About the hotel

Built in 1870, this graceful privately owned hotel dreamily evokes a belle époque atmosphere and has been a favourite among heads of state, artists and musicians throughout its history. A recent radical renovation has returned Grand Hotel Majestic to its position as one of Europe’s most luxurious properties.
Standing proudly on a promontory, Grand Hotel Majestic commands spectacular views of Lake Maggiore, the surrounding mountains and the Borromee islands. Excursions can be arranged to all the surrounding attractions.
Set in a tranquil flower-scented garden on the elegant west shores of the lake, the hotel has its own waterfront, jetty and small private beach, which are just a stone’s throw away from the tiny picturesque island of San Giovanni.

"...I stayed at this hotel in 1957 as a 17yr young man. I had a ground floor room opening onto the garden. And I swam to the island. I have an old photo which I took looking back at the hotel from the garden. It was a wonderful stay I will remember it for ever I am now 67 yrs old and would love to come back...."

Things to do

The Borromee Islands are an ideal backdrop for romantic pastimes. Start by taking a motorboat trip to Isola dei Pescatori, a medieval island that was once home to fishermen only. After exploring the landscape, sample local fish dishes by candlelight in the small rustic restaurant. Isola Madre is another attractive island destination, with its beautiful botanical gardens, exotic birds and unusual plant species.
Isola Bella is home to the baroque 17th Century palace owned by the Borromeo family, which contains several antique furnishings and well-known pieces of art. Discover the house and head to the spectacular gardens.
Another slice of the region’s history can be experienced at the 10th Century Santa Catarina del Sasso Ballaro monastery, with its rare 16th Century frescoes, which is positioned on a beautiful point of Lake Maggiore.
Explore Villa Taranto, a renowned botanical garden, with thousands of plant species imported from every corner of the globe.
