Grand Hotel Majestic

Perched on the west shores of Lake Maggiore in Verbania, this lakefront Belle Époque hotel is a short walk from the Pallanza ferry terminal and minutes from the Borromean Islands, Villa Taranto and local museums. Perfect for lakeside escapes, it’s also pet-friendly and family-friendly with easy access to regional ferries.

Housed in a 19th-century building with 80 individually furnished rooms, many rooms overlook the lake and come with air conditioning, minibars and flat-screen TVs. Expect classic Belle Époque styling, a scenic terrace bar facing the islands, a private beach and a wellness area with indoor heated pool and treatment rooms.

Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and spend afternoons on the private beach or garden sun loungers. The hotel’s wellness centre includes an indoor heated pool, gym, massages, beauty treatments and a spa. Outdoor tennis court, concierge services and on-site parking keep stays active and easy.

A business centre, express check-in/out and meeting rooms make the hotel event-ready. There’s about 150 m² (1,615 sq ft) of conference space, concierge support and complimentary Wi‑Fi; airport shuttle and parking options are available on request.

La Beola and a second on-site restaurant serve traditional Italian dishes with international touches—La Beola’s summer portico is a standout. Enjoy drinks on the terrace bar with lake views, buffet breakfast (available for a fee) and limited room service.
