HistoryBuilt 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.
