A piece of history

You can already see it in the regal Art Nouveau building: this is not a hotel that has only been there a few years. The Grand Hotel Tremezzo has more than 100 years of history. It extends from the extravagant Grand Tours of the early 20th century to the modern concept of vacation. The spirit of the belle époque lives on in the Grand Hotel, you will notice that in everything.

On July 10, 1910, Enea Gandola, who came from Bellagio, opened the Grand Hotel Tremezzo. The founder traveled through Europe for many years with his wife Maria Orsolini. The Grand Hotel was built as a unique hotel upon their return, inspired by what the couple had seen and experienced during their European trip. The goal was to provide a sophisticated place that would meet the needs of new travelers.

The belle époque, roughly the period from 1870 to the First World War, was a time of prosperity, frivolity, exuberance. Even a time of excess. The upper class made long journeys by land and sea at that time. With a hunger for art, culture and knowledge. Even then, Lake Como was a favorite destination. The newly opened Grand Hotel Tremezzo welcomed wealthy families and treated them to a stay that lacked nothing.

In the movie Grand Hotel (1932) legendary movie star Greta Garbo referred to the Grand as "that happy, sunny place." In doing so, she outlined the modern concept of holidaying in just a few words. To this day, the Grand is a place to escape the daily grind and bathe in the glamor of Greta Garbo, who lives on in the hotel as an icon of style and charm.

What does that cost, such a night in the Grand?

It will not surprise you that the prices are high. As in the early years of the Grand Hotel, it is still a hotel that focuses on the upper class. But good news: you don't have to be a royal or belong to the aristocracy to spend a night here. Save some money and treat your loved one to the night of your life.

A 'simple' double room will cost you about 800 euros for a night and is already a model of elegance. You then have a view of the beautiful park garden and you have access to a bay window or a balcony. The room has antique ornaments and a marble bathroom, as well as air conditioning and free wifi.

But if you want to go all-out decadent, book a rooftop suite at the front. Yes, you have to dig into your pocket for more than € 4.000, but then you also have something. These suites offer beautiful views of Lake Como and feature a private terrace with hot tub. The room consists of a spacious bedroom, a modern bathroom and a living room that opens onto the terrace.
