There was a very good reason why the great and the grand built their villas at Pallanza two centuries ago. It stands on a promontory that juts out into Lake Maggiore where the view of the lake, the mountains and the Borromee Islands is enough to make you gasp! And when you catch your breath, the scent of myriad flowers fresh on the breeze will amaze you. Such is the home of the Grand Hotel Majestic basking in a benign micro climate unique to the area. The hotel was built in 1870 in the idiom of Belle Époque and designed to do justice to that mesmerising panorama. Almost every room, every terrace and balcony, the American Bar, the restaurant, the pool and the perfect English garden gets a view of the water. As you enter the lobby, there it is again framed in giant picture windows! You reach the recently renovated, beautifully furnished bedrooms via balconies that rise up from the foyer tier upon tier of colonnades. Some place! Some palace!
