Hemingway Suite

The marvellous Suite is located on the first floor of the imposing Art Nouveau building and owes its name to Ernest Hemingway who stayed there immediately after the war as a convalescent and then in 1948. The American writer was so enchanted by the beauty of Stresa and the Grand Hotel des Iles Borromées that he quoted it in his famous book “Farewell to Arms”. The Hemingway suite is explicitly requested every year by wealthy guests who want to stay in the same room that today still brings the number 105. The Suite is composed by two bedrooms, one living room, a studio and three bathrooms, for a total of 240 square mts (about 2580 SqFt), the terrace adds 160 square mts to its surface and it enjoys a magnificent view of the Borromeo Islands, the Lake Maggiore and the surrounding Alps.
