Luxury and beauty.
The Grand Hotel Victoria Concept & Spa of the R Collection Hotels Group is a five-star luxury hotel, with a unique lakefront location in Menaggio in the heart of Lake Como and consists of a historic building, the Villa, and a more recent structure, the Palazzo which encloses a swimming pool area, a dehors of restaurants and lounge bars in an impeccably harmonious architectural frame. The Grand Hotel Victoria is the expression of Italian Excellence Hospitality and the enhancement of the well-being for its guests.
The historic building, renovated in recent years, is lakefront and has a private pier with Erre Water Limousine service. The reception welcomes guests in a warming and bright atmosphere perfectly designed with pieces of furniture to make the check-in and check-out more comfort.
In the lounge, the original chandeliers have been preserved, which, together with an antique painting, contribute to a touch of classicism, without forgetting the elegance of the old fireplaces, now working with steam. In addition, beautiful stuccoes are emphasized by the new ceiling sober grey colour. The historical staircase, rigorously preserved, contributes to increase the charm of the setting.
Built on the architectural structure of an ancient convent, the new part of the Grand Hotel Victoria is the result of two and a half years of renovation and extension. The structure, entirely rebuilt, consists of two underground floors where there are parking spaces with 90 cars that already include some electric charging stations. On the ground floor there is the swimming pool area, the gym, the Spa and the second restaurant of the hotel. Two floors are dedicated to the rooms.
In the rooms of the new structure the same colours of the old part have been maintained, creating a pleasant stylistic coherence, also underlined by the covered passage that joins the two buildings, designed by the architectural firm Franco Pè of Carimate.
The renovation work has also given great emphasis to the relation with the territory. One example is the Manzoni Bar, in honor of the author of Promessi Sposi: it is a classic American Bar, open from 10 am to midnight and beyond. Like the bar, all the services of the structure are open to guests but also to those external clients, for an aperitif or a gourmet dinner.
The tunnel is a connecting passage that leads from the Villa to the Palace, where a second lobby opens. On the side of the tunnel with curtains there is a view on the swimming pool, on the open bar and on a relaxing poolside area in the green.
The Grand Hotel gym is wide and enlighted, and it has a beautiful view of the pool, as well as offering additional services, including the ability to connect to the equipment with your own devices. The gym is a real sharing corner, open 24 hours a day – even at night – with the sole warning of notifying the staff.
The meeting rooms have the names of the protagonists from Manzoni. Each room is equipped with eighty-inch video and have a capacity of 60 and 80 seats respectively, in accordance with current regulations, but the Promessi Sposi room (consisting of the Renzo and Lucia rooms) can reach a combined capacity of 110 seats.
The Erre Boutique has a selection of high-quality Made in Italy products, exclusive jewellery, clothing, and home accessories, as result of great attention to detail. The function of this boutique is also to serve as an entrance to the gourmet restaurant 1827 (whose name recalls the date of the first edition of the Promessi Sposi) with a great surprise effect.
The Grand Hotel Victoria is part of the most prestigious luxury networks, a member of Small Luxury Hotels, Virtuoso Preferred, Signature Travel Network, Select Hotels & Resorts Internova, Serandipians, as well as the Lake Como circuit and Forbes Travel Guide.
