The building is beautiful and has a wonderful location on top of the hill overlooking the town and lake. When we arrived the hotel could not find our Orbitz reservation (thankfully we had the printed confirmation). The clerk at the desk was snooty with us but finally honored the reservation. When we got to the room there were several items... more

We used this for a night on our way from Milan Malpensa to Lake Como as we were arriving quite late and did not want to drive far. Varese is well signposted from Malpensa airport and you simply drive straight through town to get to hotel. Long steep driveway so need a car. Hotel has very old fashioned grand feel... more

I stopped here as part of a group tour. It was just a stopover on our way from Venice to Lucerne but it was FABULOUS! The hotel rooms were large for a European hotel with an entry-way and a balcony. I would have loved to stay here longer as it really did feel like a relaxing retreat. The hotel bar... more

My husband and I stayed at the Palace Grand Hotel in August 2008 for 4 nights and we had a lovely time. The rooms are really nicely renovated. Not all the TV Channels worked but who is in Italy for watching TV anyways. The hotel itself is older but not bad. The staff was very nice and did their job.... more

We only stayed 1 night in Varese, we chose the hotel because of its proximity to the Malpensa airport and also to Lake Como. It is rated a 4 star hotel but by American standards it really is a 3 star. All staff members were very nice, the grounds themselves were beautiful, and the rooms were large as were the... more

What a bizarre place, it's almost like a horror movie set in real life! The winding driveway up the hill, the oddly tall narrow building at the top surrounded by trees and tennis court...... It gives a feeling of what it once must have been in the 30s, a grand hotel where you can imagine young rich english things coming... more

Stayed here Jan. 14-20 for business nearby. Recommended by co-worker. Very nice room with hi-speed internet, good telephone, nice work desk. Mini bar frig big enough to hold my 6 packs of diet cola. Helpful English speaking staff. Very good food. Friendly bar. Good parking. A little too far from the city center for walking but I had no free... more

Stayed at the Palace from the 14th through to the 17th July...great location on the hill above Varese and centrally located for Lakes Maggiore and Lugano. The staff could not do enough for our party and were helpful in the extreme....everything from picking us up from a night out in Varese (as a taxi strike was on) to excellent recommendations... more

We stayed at this hotel because of the reviews on this site. This is a four star in a peaceful setting and we only stayed for the last night of our trip. What a great choice. It is reasonably priced and the food is terrific. The included breakfast is as good as it gets. The grounds and views must be... more
