Built in 1870, this graceful privately-owned hotel dreamily evokes La Belle Epoque. A favourite among crowned heads of state, artists and musicians such as Claude Debussy, Toscanini and Eleonora Duse, in the spring of 1930 the Grand Hotel Majestic was acclaimed one of the most beautiful hotels in Europe by Town and Country news. Thanks to an extensive, radical renovation, lovingly carried out by its present owners it is now poised to rank -once again-as one of Europe's top luxury properties.

The Grand Hotel Majestic stands proudly on a promontory that juts out spectacularly into Lake Maggiore, affording it sweeping views of the mountains, the Borromee islands and the lake itself. Immerse in the tranquility of a flower-scented, perfectly groomed English style garden, the hotel boasts a private waterfront with its own jetty and small, lovely beach which is only a stone throw from the tiny, picturesque Island of San Giovanni, favorite haunt of the conductor Arturo Toscanini and one of the summer residences of the noble Borromeo family. The hotel is located on the elegant west shores of the lake where as early as 1800 it was fashionable for wealthy nobles from Milan and the surrounding areas to build imposing villas, one more lavish than the other. The nearest airport is Milan Malpensa, 60 kilometres and a 50 minute journey away.
