Like the destination itself, Lake Como's hotels are impressive and rich in history. Many hotels showcase breathtaking vistas, luxurious amenities, rejuvenating spa offerings and exceptional hospitality. We've carefully selected the very best Lake Como accommodation for an unforgettable getaway.
The exuberant Grand Hotel Tremezzo has been owned by the same family since its 1910 debut. It still exudes old-world charm. Offering a view of Bellagio, the building evokes the mood of a scene from The Grand Budapest Hotel. This feeling deepens as you step into the lobby with its sweeping red-carpeted staircase and antique mirrors.
There's an outdoor pool surrounded by trees and flowers. A splendid vintage wooden boat is available for lake excursions. The ultimate highlight is the floating pool on the lake with its vibrant orange and white umbrellas.
Dating back to 1787, Passalacqua, once a private villa, is now the epitome of Lake Como accommodation. Refurbished in 2022, it is the grander counterpart to Grand Hotel Tremezzo, both under the same ownership.
Meticulous attention to detail shines through at this hotel. This is evident in the hand-blown Murano chandeliers, original frescoes, intricate carvings and exquisite swimming terrace.
Il Sereno's bold and fresh design harmonises perfectly with the region's lively ambience. Balcony screens can be moved to create individual private retreats, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces. A splendid pool neighbours a private beach area, complete with pontoon and hotel-owned boats.
For a special treat, venture to the town of Torno, just a 10-minute stroll away, where Ristorante Vapore, a favourite of Robert De Niro and many locals, serves up delectable clam pasta and octopus carpaccio.
This splendid establishment was formerly the lakeside retreat of Italian opera sensation Giuditta Pasta. The Mandarin Oriental group assumed ownership of it in 2018.
Renowned designer Eric Egan undertook a transformative renovation of the interiors. He also enhanced the immaculate gardens and introduced a floating pool.
Situated north of Como, this four-star gem boasts stylish interiors and stunning lake views. Bask on the fourth-floor terrace or join diverse events held year-round, including jazz evenings and wine tastings.
Nestled on a quaint cobblestone street in Bellagio, this family-operated two-star gem boasts vibrant rooms with a touch of simplicity. Its prime location allows for easy access to town attractions. The dock is also just a short stroll away where you can get on a public boat to explore the lake.
We hope you've enjoyed our list of the best Lake Como accommodation. We'd love to help you find and book your special stay.
