Having welcomed the likes of Winston Churchill through its grand waterside doors, this elegant hotel was one of the first to grace Lake Garda's picturesque shores. Today, it offers superb rooms and suites, a gorgeous lakeside pool, two fabulous restaurants and a wellness centre, all of which come together to ensure a wonderfully relaxing stay.
Lake Garda itself is truly stunning – its wind-ruffled waters framed by verdant mountains and sweeping vineyards. And, there can be few better places to wake up than in a room with views right across its fabled shores. That's why we recommend the Superior and Classic Balcony Lakeview Rooms, or the Lakeview Junior Suites if you're after a little more space. Whichever you choose, you can expect traditional design and the usual mod cons to complement those wonderful views.
Elsewhere in the hotel, dining take centre stage, with the large terrace of the Grand Hotel Restaurant offering a full range of Italian and international à la carte options and more of those gorgeous lake views. Meanwhile, at the equally delightful Lemon Garden, overlooking Garda Island, expect the very best in fresh, local produce coupled with a 100-strong wine list. There are also plenty of reasons to relax, especially at the hotel pool, located on a raised area right on the water's edge. And, with the beauty and massage area, coupled with a Turkish bath and sauna, there's also the chance to truly indulge.
