The four-pearl Grand Hotel Dino has a scenic setting along Lake Maggiore, offering picturesque vistas from its grassy grounds and polished interiors. Though the elegant, classic decor might not suit all tastes, common spaces and guest rooms are clean and refined. Three on-site restaurants serve regional fare, plus there are two bars. Guests seeking to relax can make use of the wellness facilities, fitness center, and indoor and outdoor pools. Extensive conference facilities and event space means that the property is often busy with various functions and meetings. Many of the 383 guest rooms have furnished balconies with lovely lake views, but Wi-Fi costs extra and there are no coffee/tea facilities. Guests might also want to compare with some of the hotel's sister properties, like neighboring Hotel Splendid or Hotel Simplon.

With its charming pale pink facade surrounded by lovely, green grounds, the four-pearl, 125-room Hotel Simplon is a suitable choice for those seeking a tranquil getaway on the shores of Lago Maggiore. Polished interiors are full of Old World details like damask wallpaper, chandeliers, and gilt-framed paintings, while the immaculate grounds offer a beautiful outdoor pool and plenty of seating, as well as tennis courts and a soccer field. Rooms are elegant (if too old-fashioned for some tastes), and many have balconies, but they lack tea/coffee facilities, Wi-Fi costs extra, and bathrooms are small. The on-site restaurant serves traditional fare in an elegant setting, and there's also a bar. It's worth comparing rates with some of the other nearby properties from the Zacchera Hotels chain, such as the larger Grand Hotel Dino next door or the slightly smaller Hotel Splendid.

The 102-room Hotel Splendid lives up to its name with its setting on the shore of Lake Maggiore and classically elegant interiors. Built in 1873, the property continues to be run by the Zacchera family, and it's an excellent value for couples seeking a romantic getaway. Upscale rooms have rich fabrics, and each comes with a balcony and lovely views of the Alps or lake. However, guests should be aware that the price is just for the room: Wi-Fi (after a brief free period), breakfast, and access to the gorgeous wellness facilities are added on -- and quite expensive. For an equally opulent hotel but with more included amenities, guests should check out the Grand Hotel des Illes Borromees in nearby Stresa.
