Hotel Capolago  

In leafy Varese, set inside a 35,000 m² park and a short ride from Lake Varese. This 4-star, pet-friendly design hotel sits near Villa Recalcati, Estensi Gardens and Villa Cagnola and is about 25–30 minutes from Milan Malpensa Airport. Free on-site parking and easy motorway access make it a smart base for lake rides or a quick hop across the Swiss border.

Seventy-eight minimalist, air-conditioned rooms feature minibars, LCD/plasma TVs (Sky Sports channels), laptop-compatible safes, desks and rainfall showerheads with complimentary toiletries. Soft carpeted floors and a clean design atmosphere meet park-side views and direct access to the Lake Varese bike path. Expect personalized service and simple, modern styling throughout.

Wake up to park-side mornings and take a spin on rental bicycles (summer) or use bike parking and bike-cleaning facilities. The hotel offers a garden, lounge bar, coffee shop, banquet/meeting space, concierge services and free self-parking. Buffet breakfasts (local and international produce) are served daily for a fee, and room service is available during limited hours. Pets are welcome.

On-site business center and conference/banquet facilities, plus express check-in and check-out. Complimentary wireless internet throughout and an airport shuttle available for a surcharge. Free self-parking supports guests attending nearby events or trade fairs.

Dine at the on-site restaurant and bar/lounge serving Italian dishes and local flavors. A coffee shop/cafe and a lounge bar round out casual options, while a varied breakfast buffet (07:00–10:00) showcases local and international products.
