We were on a Tauck tour of Lake Como and this was the first stop of our tour. The hotel and surrounding area is beautiful. The room was very modern and new and very comfortable. The breakfast buffet was fabulous both days we had it. We also had dinner at Victoria Beach one night. It is part of the hotel.
This is not a mere hotel, this is a luxurious immersion of service, class, and appeals to the senses. This was stop number 4 of our honeymoon and my wife and I loved every minute of it. Even the fire drill that they had for the staff on our second to last day. From the moment we were checked in by Martina to the moment we checked out and I requested a Small Luxury Hotels pin, the staff and property exceeded our expectations. The hotel has a majestic essence and not only is the location prime, but so are the furnishings and grounds. The high ceilings, beautiful chandeliers, excellent bar and the Victoria 'forget me not' diffuser scent (we bought it) that permeates throughout the halls and common areas make me smile as I write this. It's right across the street from the lake and there's a reason it's called Grand Hotel Victoria Concept & Spa. It's large, luxurious, and the spa is an oasis in the middle of the paradise that is called Menaggio. The property was clean and classy. In our room we were greeted with a bottle of Prosecco, a sweet treat, fruit, and a nice note signed by Marco the General Manager. I believe that our room was considered a Prestige room. It was very clean, comfortable, and had a nice view. The bathroom had nice marble flooring and 'R Collection' products. It was spacious. We loved the state-of-the-art functionality of the lights, thermostat, and curtains that only worked when our key card was inserted. Overall, we loved the room and that Chromecast worked on the TV set, so we were able to cast our photos of our trip on the screen. Next time I hope to book suite to experience a larger size and different view. We had breakfast and dinner at Lago. The food was delicious, the service was exceptional, and the ambiance was chic. Simone and Salvatore were very attentive along with the whole staff ensuring we enjoyed the ambiance, our meals, and the service. It was amazing seeing how attentive the staff was and we loved the presentation and preparation of the food. The food comes at a premium but because of the dining experience and service we had dinner there on 2 nights. This was such a wonderful and memorable experience that I look forward to returning here when it's a little warmer. We were there during the last week of the season and the staff left such an impression upon us that we want an excuse to see those that made our stay so special. I also want to fly out just use the gym. That's my excuse to use the gym, get in the pool, and stay in a suite. We bought the Victoria Forget Me Not scent and it will definitely remind us that we should return in the future. Thanks to Marco and team for making our stay magical.
Just look at the pictures and that says it all. One of the most stunning hotels I have ever stayed at. Outstanding service. Great location.
Well located in the heart of Menaggio, this hotel provides convenient access to the lake como triangle. I am rounding up from four stars because of the hard product, breakfast, location and cleanliness. I will highlight that this price point the service felt a high brow, and while I felt valued as a customer there were a few awkward interactions with staff that made me feel that I was a burden on the staff. Don't set your expectations for a water view room if you're booking a standard room, the slh integration out of Hyatt into Hilton makes me Think that a one category upgrade will likely be the norm for Hilton diamonds. The grounds are immaculately manicured, and the renovation is well executed. No trip here is complete without visiting the spa area which is quite possibly one of the best I've experienced. It's important to remember that lake como is a luxury destination and a five star hotel of this caliber is certainly not a value spot. That being said the breakfast has passion fruit, smoked swordfish and an extensive cheese selection. No complimentary black truffle but I left each morning more than satisfaction with the selection.
Wow wow wow! If we could give this hotel 10 stars we would! We had an issue with our Airbnb and so booked this hotel last minute and it did not disappoint! The experience is 5-star from the minute you walk through the doors. They are located within walking distance to the little town of Menaggio and the water shuttle - we took that to explore Bellagio one day. It is about an hour to drive to the hotel from the Como train station (and taxis are hard to get) and so I would recommend booking transportation in advance. The breakfast buffet is AMAZING and we loved the nightly music on the front lawn. Our favorite part was probably the spa (don't forget your swimsuit!) - it rained all day one of the days we were there and so we spent the day in the spa, which has a hot tub, cold dunk, multiple saunas, a mushroom room, a salt room, etc... simply amazing. There is also a beach club owned by the Hilton which would be lovely on a nice day, due to the weather we only had aperitif and dinner there (the food is REALLY good). Lastly I would be remiss not to tell you how amazing the staff is. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful and made our stay over the top. We are already excited to go back.
I never leave reviews, but this place was so spectacular that it deserves my first ever hotel review. The hotel is beautifully located right on the water, with a gorgeous green front yard and balconies overlooking the lake. The hotel is also only steps away from cute restaurants and shopping, and has a dock for any boat trips you may book. The rooms were fantastic. We got two king rooms, one with a roll away bed. While it was a little cramped with the added bed, the rooms are huge for European standards, and the views were amazing. They were clean, comfortable, and dressed with luxurious robes and towels. The housekeeping was wonderful and friendly, and the staff even came by offering us fruit one day at our door. The standout of this property, in my opinion, is the staff. We only stayed for 3 days, but we got to know them on a first name basis by the end of our trip. They helped with luggage, dinner recommendations, and wine selections all with a smile. They clearly work so hard to make the guests feel like royalty, and it should not go unnoticed. I highly recommend Grand Hotel Victoria to anyone and I will be coming back on my next trip.
So this is where I fell in love with limoncello! I didn't ever care for it before. But I'd clearly never had the real deal. The hotel is lovely. Probably the nicest place in Menaggio. It is a quiet village. Beauty is the main draw.
Highly Recommend! This place is amazing. Great service and the hotel was very nice and organized with good ambiance. Service was excellent. Staff were very nice and helpful. The staff is the most friendly and amazing in every way. 15 out of 10!! Everything here has been amazing t the food, rooms and service. The EER SPA is one of the best I have been to in the world for hotels. The only negative is they allow kids at certain times but that's ok and can go during adult hours. But be aware of this when you come to relax and leave your own kids at home. If I had my son he would love it here and I'll bring him next time. Food was excellent. Everything we had was fresh. read more
SANTA MARIA!!! This hotel is spectacular. My partner and I truly had the best time. We didn't realize it, but we arrived for opening weekend at the hotel. It's still the off season so it was quiet and fantastic. I booked using Amex FHR and the hotel graciously upgraded our room to a junior suite. We were celebrating my husband's bday and they left a bottle of prosecco in the room as well. The concierge and front desk team were really responsive via email leading up to our stay. They helped me book an agriturismo for lunch, as well as some spa appointments. The service is just astoundingly good. Andrea at the ristorante was a joy! The gentleman who works at the bar with glasses and the gentleman who just moved back to Italy from Canada were also lovely! The boutique is SO cute and shockingly reasonable. The woman who works here was very helpful in finding the right sizes and colors. The spa is out of the world. If you're not staying at the hotel, I recommend booking a treatment or buying a day pass to experience it. It's so gorgeous and absolutely massive. We loved the hot and cold pools and showers. The grounds of the hotel are beautiful and meticulously kept after. The views of the Lake are beautiful and best enjoyed from the hotel's front lawn. The hotel is, of course, quite expensive, but you get what you pay for! The staff here don't miss a beat and our stay was full of little, meaningful surprises. It really is such a special place! read more
Dream hotel at a dream vacation destination! If I ever make it back to Lake Como, I wouldn't hesitate to stay at Grand Hotel Victoria again! The location is great, the property itself is stunningly beautiful, and the service was solid. My fiance and I stayed in one of the standard rooms which didn't offer a great view, though the room itself was decently spacious with modern and sleek decor. We had plenty of space during our 5-night stay, and the bathroom was also nice with a big shower, a good amount of counter space, and comfy robes. Upon arriving at the hotel, we were welcomed in our room with a bottle of champagne and a variety of fruits plus little biscuits. Throughout our stay, housekeeping was good except they kept taking one of our robes for some odd reason (so we kept having to call to get another robe lol). We also chatted with the concierge on several occasions about logistics of getting around the lake, and they were quite helpful. With my fiance's Hilton diamond status, we got complimentary breakfast which we took advantage of every morning. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, though I would caution against outdoor seating if the sun will be beating down. Nonetheless, the breakfast space is SO bright and beautiful, plus you get lovely views of the lake while dining (whether you sit inside or outside). The food itself was a bit of a letdown in our opinion since a lot of the pastries that we tried tasted a bit stale... Now, what really made this hotel stand out to me was the spa! During one of our more chill days in Lake Como, we spent several hours enjoying everything that the spa had to offer from lounging in the main pool to sweating in the saunas to relaxing in the variety of calming rooms. We usually don't go to spas so this was much needed, and I would highly recommend bringing a swimsuit and spending some time here during your stay! Finally, I do want to call out that when we visited at the end of May, the ferries to Menaggio from Bellagio or Varenna would stop running at around 7pm - 8pm. And since we enjoyed dinner in Bellagio / Varenna on several occasions, we ended up having to take the ferry to Cadenabbia before figuring out a way back to Menaggio from there. While there are taxis around (that we did use twice), Grand Hotel Victoria does offer a private car service which was super helpful when it was rainy or when taxis weren't readily available. read more
