Hotel Milan Speranza Au Lac is a 4-star hotel located in Piazza Marconi, in the centre of Stresa, just 1.6 km from the Borromean Islands and a short walk from the Lake Maggiore promenade. The property is designed both for couples, who rate its location 9.7, and for families and groups thanks to the availability of triple and connecting rooms.
The rooms, almost all with air conditioning, minibar and private bathroom, are distinguished by their views: some overlook the historic centre and the surrounding mountains, others the Borromean Gulf and the lake, often with a balcony and bathtub. A compact single room and triple accommodations designed for those travelling in groups are also available.
Common facilities include a seasonal outdoor pool, an on-site restaurant, a bar, a concierge service and luggage storage, as well as a 24-hour reception able to assist in Italian, English, French and German. Breakfast offers buffet, continental and Italian options, with vegetarian and gluten-free alternatives. Stresa is easily reached by car or train, with the railway station about 650 metres away and Milan Malpensa Airport around thirty kilometres away.
The seven room types at Hotel Milan Speranza Au Lac share air conditioning, a private bathroom with toiletries, a minibar and a flat-screen TV, but differ mainly in view and size. The double options start from 15-17 sqm and are split between those overlooking the historic centre and mountains and those facing the Borromean Gulf instead, often with a balcony and bathtub.
For those travelling as a group, two 27 sqm triple rooms are available, with a double bed combined with a single bed or three separate single beds, in standard or lake-view versions. Those looking for an essential option can choose the 9 sqm single room, designed for one guest and still equipped with a private bathroom with tub or shower.
Overlooking Stresa’s historic centre and the surrounding mountains, this 17 sqm room offers a flexible bed configuration, suitable both for those who prefer a double bed and those travelling as two with single beds.
With the same size as the Standard room but overlooking Lake Maggiore and the Borromean Gulf, this room adds a balcony and bathtub, plus the option to choose between a double bed or two single beds.
This lake-view room also features a balcony and bathtub, but unlike the previous one it offers exclusively two single beds, without the double bed option.
The most compact of the double rooms, at 15 sqm overlooking the centre of Stresa and the mountains, designed for those seeking an essential accommodation with two fixed single beds.
At 27 sqm, this is the largest room among those without a lake view, designed for groups or families thanks to the dual bed configuration: double plus single, or three separate single beds.
Same size and flexibility as the Standard Triple, but with the addition of a balcony and a view of Lake Maggiore, ideal for families who don’t want to miss out on the scenery.
The smallest room in the property, 9 sqm designed for a single guest: equipped with a private bathroom with tub or shower, bidet, safe and satellite TV, it is the ideal solution for solo travellers.
