Grand Hotel Victoria proudly sits on the western shores of Lake Como, in the quaint town of Menaggio, walkable to restaurants, bars, shops, and a gelateria. Guests are connected to other picture-perfect local towns by ferries and scenic private boat tours. Varenna and Bellagio are both less than 15 minutes away.

The big news at Grand Hotel Victoria is the significant investment in the redevelopment of their Victoria Lido Beach. Opening ahead of this summer, imagine your clients lounging on Lake Como's shores, lulled by the gentle lapping of the waves, embraced by sun and sand, as they gaze over a majestic mountain backdrop. The revamped beach club will feature three pools, a new bar and restaurant. The hotel team have shared an exclusive 'first-look' rendering with us for this Spotlight - sneak a peek below!

Grand Hotel Victoria is a historic 19th century villa that has a storied history of welcoming aristocratic families and has always been a hot-spot for in-the-know travelers. The baroque architecture blends beautifully with contemporary and bright décor. The 81 bedrooms and suites are equipped for the modern traveler, while exuding charm and design that pays homage to Italian craftsmen and artisans. I am always captivated by the cinematic lake views in our favorite rooms.

The hotel features a heated outdoor pool, and an indoor pool at ERRE Spa. Wellness facilities are complimentary to Celebrated Guests, such as Hammam, Mediterranean bath, ice room, salt room and aromatherapy showers. Guests can choose from an array of dining options, from veranda dining at Lago to gourmet cuisine at 1827. The service is always elegantly casual - appealing to those who appreciate laid-back luxury.
