Palace Hotel - Liberty
During the Belle-Époque period there was a structure typical of relaxation and thermal places, called: the Kolonnade. It overlooked, and it still overlooks, a rotunda delimited by elaborated wrought-iron parapets placed on rectangular plates: the ideal place to allow the holidaymakers to have a chat in front of a beautiful scenery. Giuseppe Sommaruga, who planned the Palace Grand Hotel, paid particular attention to the volumetric block that overrun towards the southwest part with a small tower provided with a hulled dome. He introduced on the ground floor a lookout loggia of the Varese lake richly animated thanks to the succession of smooth stem columns with bases and capitals extremely fanciful and atypical. The small balconies of the rooms reproduce a clear geometric drawing in use in the Vienna school.
