Grand Hotel Bristol - Stresa

The Grand Hotel Bristol, recently renewed through an ambitious and prestigious redevelopment project, overlooks the Stresa lakefront from a simply unrivalled and exceptional position. In the heart of one of Lake Maggiore’s most iconic destinations, the hotel embodies timeless elegance and the authentic charm that has made this place famous worldwide.

Once a noble residence — the historic Villa Mercedes — today the Grand Hotel Bristol stands as a masterpiece of Italian hospitality: a perfect balance of historical prestige and outstanding contemporary services, designed to offer an exclusive experience from the very first moment. The bright, sophisticated interiors open onto breathtaking views of Isola Bella and the Borromeo Gulf, creating a constant sense of wonder and lightness.

The rooms and suites, completely redesigned with fine materials and details inspired by the colours of the lake and mountains, combine superior comfort and modern technology in an atmosphere of refined harmony. The Presidential Suites are true havens suspended over the water: spacious panoramic terraces with private pools or whirlpools invite guests to immerse themselves in the landscape, enjoying total privacy and pure contemplative pleasure.

Completing the experience are the bar, the Daily Restaurant, the Fine Dining Restaurant, an outdoor pool, a heated indoor pool, underground parking, and a large panoramic garden overlooking Lake Maggiore, enhancing the feeling of wellbeing and serenity.

Giving the hotel its distinctive soul is the unmistakable hospitality of the Zacchera family who, since 1873, have interpreted excellence with warmth, style, and an almost artisanal dedication to guest comfort. This is how an iconic place is born—where luxury is not ostentation but a way of experiencing the lake with conscious, authentic refinement.
