Regina Palace Hotel, Stresa

Dating back to 1908 and set in tranquil parkland just across from the lakeside promenade and a short stroll from the centre of Stresa, the impressive Regina Palace Hotel enjoys views over the lake and the enchanting Borromeo Islands.

Behind its grand façade the interior is magnificently opulent with guest rooms and suites decorated in elegant period style and offering views over the lush park, or to the lake and its islands.

The two restaurants provide sumptuous settings with a buffet breakfast served in the Liberty and on warm summer evenings the Charleston offering candlelit dining and wonderful views of the lake from its terrace.

In addition there is a snack bar and the period style 1900 bar features live music on most evenings. The immaculate grounds houses an inviting outdoor pool and a tennis court, and guests have complimentary access to the wellness centre with indoor pool, sauna and steam room as well as a gym.
