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.
