Mid-lake, there has been a new address since September 2025: in Cadenabbia, the former Hotel Britannia Excelsior, a 19th-century palazzo, has been completely rebuilt and reborn as The Lake Como EDITION. Here you swim in a pool that floats on the lake, looking across to Bellagio, and in the evening you dine at Cetino, Mauro Colagreco’s first restaurant in Italy. At the Longevity Spa, treatments begin with a diagnostic assessment of sleep, inflammation and oxidative stress; guests must be 18 or over. The hotel has 148 rooms, 26 of them suites.
The Lake Como EDITION · Rooms & suitesAt the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni, the only 5-star hotel in Bellagio with its own beach, you can see where four million euros went in 2024: rooms, suites and salons were fully renovated, and the Baci da Bellagio beach club was created on the shore. The new Luce del Lago spa covers more than 1,500 m² and has a hammam of blue marble.
Our tip for wellness: since reopening in 2021, the Grand Hotel Victoria Menaggio has let you choose between the restored Art Nouveau villa on the promenade and the modern new building behind it; the new wing brought the ERRE Spa, a gym and both an indoor and an outdoor pool.
An 18th-century aristocratic villa has been open to guests since 2022: Passalacqua above Moltrasio was restored over three years and has just 24 rooms. In the town of Como, two palazzi have opened as hotels – Palazzo Venezia Lago di Como on Piazza Cavour in December 2025, and the Palazzo San Gottardo Lake Como Radisson Collection Hotel a few steps away in February 2026.
On Lake Como, the pool almost always comes with a view. Eight of the eleven hotels have a pool of their own, and four of them have put it right out on the water.
Villa d'Este · PoolIf you choose a 5-star hotel on Lake Como for its pool, you can pick between pools on the water, above the water and in the garden. Our tip on the lake: the floating pool of Villa d'Este in Cernobbio, at the end of a wooden walkway, open in summer and reserved for guests aged twelve and over; there is also an indoor pool overlooking the park. At Mandarin Oriental Lake Como in Blevio, Herzog & de Meuron designed a 40-metre infinity pool of Cardoso stone, anchored to the lakebed.
Il Sereno Lake Como · PoolAbove the water lies the 18-metre freshwater infinity pool of Il Sereno Lake Como, with a large sun deck, open in season. The Grand Hotel Tremezzo has three pools: the WOW pool, short for “Water on the Water”, in front of the hotel beach, the travertine-edged Flowers Pool in the garden and an infinity pool at the T Spa that starts indoors and continues outside.
In the garden and at the beach club: Passalacqua has a lake-view pool on a garden terrace below the villa and a heated indoor pool in an 18th-century underground passage, which can be booked for exclusive use. At the Grand Hotel Victoria Menaggio, the heated garden pool is open in season, the ERRE Spa has an indoor pool with whirlpool jets, and the Victoria Beach Club, with two infinity pools, is within walking distance.
The floating pool at Villa d'Este is for guests aged twelve and over, and the Vitality Pool at The Lake Como EDITION is for adults only. With younger children, you are better off at the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni, with its children’s pool at 32 degrees, or at the Grand Hotel Victoria Menaggio, whose beach club includes a children’s area with pools; babysitting is available there too.
Two of the big spas are mid-lake. The ERRE Spa at the Grand Hotel Victoria Menaggio covers 1,200 m². It includes a Kneipp path, a Finnish and an infrared sauna, a Himalayan salt room, an ice room and the “Fire Room” with a four-metre fireplace. At the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni, the Luce del Lago spa covers more than 1,500 m², with a signature hammam of blue marble, hydropools and floating, and a private spa suite with Jacuzzi and sauna.
Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni · SpaAmong mosaics and frescoes, you unwind at the T Spa of the Grand Hotel Tremezzo, in the 18th-century Villa Emilia, with an Italian hammam of Lasa marble, sauna, steam bath and ice fountain; children are not admitted. At Il Sereno Lake Como, the spa lies beneath the vaulted arches of a boathouse more than 100 years old, with treatments by Valmont. At Passalacqua, the seed-to-skin treatments take place in the vaulted hall and in the orchard.
If you want to stay active, book Villa d'Este: a green-marble beauty centre with physiotherapists, an outdoor Jacuzzi by the lake, a 24-hour gym, and yoga, Pilates and tai chi. At Mandarin Oriental Lake Como, there are the spa suites “Acqua” and “Vapore” and a thermal area with lake views. And The Lake Como EDITION takes a scientific approach: the Longevity Spa combines diagnostics on arrival, biohacking and holistic therapies.
The restaurant Il Sereno al Lago at Il Sereno Lake Como has held a Michelin star since 2017, confirmed in the 2026 guide. Raffaele Lenzi cooks modern, creative Italian food with a focus on vegetables: regional dishes by the lake at lunchtime, three tasting menus in the evening, including a seven-course vegetarian one. Kitchen, set in the grounds of the Sheraton Lake Como on the road to Cernobbio, also holds a Michelin star; its chef Andrea Casali cooks creative Italian cuisine.
Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comAt the Grand Hotel Tremezzo, the restaurant La Terrazza Gualtiero Marchesi serves Marchesi’s classics: Riso, oro e zafferano, Raviolo aperto and Dripping di pesce, à la carte or as a tasting menu; in the evening, the dress code is elegant. In the same hotel you can sit in the Trattoria L’Escale, in the converted wine cellar with more than 1,300 bottles of Italian wines, or at Da Giacomo al Lago on the hotel beach for fish and seafood.
Il Sereno Lake Como · DiningOur tip for an evening by candlelight: at Passalacqua, Viviana Varese cooks classic seasonal Italian food, served on the terrace or in the frescoed Sala Ovale, and cooking classes are offered too. Villa d'Este keeps up haute cuisine in the Italian tradition at the Veranda restaurant, under executive chef Andrea Guerini since 2026, and at the Grand Hotel Victoria Menaggio the menu at SHIORI 1827 ranges from sushi and gyoza to wagyu.
At the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni, Ettore Bocchia, regarded as a pioneer of Italian molecular cuisine, serves a seven-course tasting menu with lake views at Mistral, with live music in the evening. In the botanical park of Mandarin Oriental Lake Como, Massimiliano Blasone combines Italian cuisine with Japanese influences at L~ARIA.
No booking fee: the benefits simply come on top of the rate you book.
For an aperitivo, the luxury hotels on Lake Como have bars of their own with history and a view. The Bar Canova at Villa d'Este has been around since 1873 and today mixes signature cocktails. At the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni, there is live music in Verri’s Bar, a 19th-century-style American bar, and at sunset guests move out to the Terrazza Darsena above the lake.
Villa d'Este · DiningOn the terrace of the T Bar at the Grand Hotel Tremezzo, more than 500 candles are lit for the aperitivo, and later it turns into a piano bar. The lobby bar at Il Sereno Lake Como blends Asian influences with ingredients from Lake Como and offers six mocktails made with herbs and flowers. And at Passalacqua, you can have a drink during the day at the pool bar in the former greenhouse, designed by JJ Martin.
By the lake, the menu follows the season. At Da Giacomo al Lago on the beach of the Grand Hotel Tremezzo, dinner is served only from May to September; the grill at Villa d'Este opens from April to October, and the lake terrace Il Platano there, with Mediterranean-Japanese cuisine, operates only in summer. If you are travelling outside these months, it’s best to have our travel advisors check the tables in advance.
The main building of Villa d'Este in Cernobbio was built in 1568 as the summer residence of Cardinal Tolomeo Gallio, designed by Pellegrino Pellegrini, known as Il Tibaldi. From 1815 to 1820 the villa belonged to Caroline of Brunswick, Princess of Wales, after whom the Queen’s Pavilion is named. It has been a hotel since 1873, and its early guests included Giuseppe Verdi and Giacomo Puccini. The ten-hectare park with the Hercules fountain and mosaic is part of the Grandi Giardini Italiani, and today the hotel has 151 rooms and four private villas.
Mandarin Oriental Lake Como · ComoTwo luxury hotels on the southern arm of the lake are linked to Vincenzo Bellini. He composed “La Sonnambula” in 1831 at Passalacqua above Moltrasio, a villa the Milanese architect Carlo Felice Soave built at the end of the 18th century for Count Andrea Lucini-Passalacqua; the De Santis family bought the estate in 2018.
Passalacqua · MoltrasioFrom 1827, the grounds of Mandarin Oriental Lake Como in Blevio, too, belonged to the opera singer Giuditta Pasta, at whose home Bellini worked on “Norma”. Carlo Formenti built today’s Villa Roccabruna between 1906 and 1910; in 2010 the estate was revived as the CastaDiva Resort, and it has carried the Mandarin Oriental name since 2019.
The grand hotels of the Belle Époque stand mid-lake. The Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni was built between 1850 and 1854 as the holiday residence of Count Frizzoni from Bergamo, has been a grand hotel since 1873 and has belonged to the Bucher family since 1918; Churchill, Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy and Clark Gable stayed here, and one of the historic suites bears Kennedy’s name.
The Grand Hotel Victoria Menaggio is an Art Nouveau villa from 1890 that opened as a grand hotel in 1892 and hosted English, German and Russian families during the Belle Époque. The Grand Hotel Tremezzo was opened in 1910 by the entrepreneur Enea Gandola and his wife Maria; Greta Garbo called it “That sunny, happy place”, and the De Santis family has run it since 1975.
Michelin Keys are awarded to hotels, not restaurants. The highest level, three Michelin Keys, goes to Passalacqua; the villa was voted number 1 in The World’s 50 Best Hotels in 2023 and number 2 in 2024, and in 2026 it came fifth and took the titles Best Hotel in Europe and Best Boutique Hotel.

Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comTwo Michelin Keys are held by Villa d'Este, Il Sereno Lake Como and the Grand Hotel Victoria Menaggio, and The Lake Como EDITION has one Michelin Key.

Further memberships of the luxury hotels on Lake Como: Villa d'Este and Il Sereno Lake Como belong to the Leading Hotels of the World, the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni to Relais & Châteaux. Travel + Leisure named Il Sereno Lake Como the best hotel in Italy in 2021.
Grand Hotel Victoria Concept Menaggio · City CentreSustainability labels are held by the Grand Hotel Victoria Menaggio and the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni (DCA ESG certification) and by Mandarin Oriental Lake Como (GSTC-certified).
The lake is long, and the shore you choose shapes your days: close to Milan and the railway at the southern end, right in the ferry network mid-lake.
On the west shore near Cernobbio and Moltrasio, you stay in historic villas with large gardens, and if you want a 5-star hotel on Lake Como close to Milan, this is the place. Our recommendation for the southern arm: Villa d'Este in its ten-hectare park in Cernobbio; Milan Malpensa is around 60 kilometres or about 48 minutes away, and the hotel has its own helipad. If you prefer something smaller, stay at Passalacqua in terraced gardens above the village of Moltrasio.
Grand Hotel Tremezzo · RogaroOn the east shore opposite, near Torno, just under six kilometres from the centre of Como, lies Il Sereno Lake Como; from there it is around 50 minutes to Malpensa airport, and on request you can arrive in the hotel’s own Riva boat. In Blevio, Mandarin Oriental Lake Como stands in a botanical park.
Palazzo Venezia Lago di Como · City CentreMid-lake, around Bellagio, there are four luxury hotels. Our recommendation: the Grand Hotel Tremezzo in Tremezzo, in a park of around two hectares next to Villa Carlotta, with its own marina, two jetties and vintage motorboats. The Grand Hotel Victoria Menaggio sits right on the lakeside promenade of Menaggio, and across the water in Bellagio the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni welcomes you with centuries-old gardens, a private beach and a boat jetty.
No booking fee: the benefits simply come on top of the rate you book.
In the town of Como, Palazzo Venezia Lago di Como and the Palazzo San Gottardo Lake Como Radisson Collection Hotel are on Piazza Cavour – the right choice if you want the cathedral, the promenade and city life on your doorstep.
If you want to experience the lake from the water, stay mid-lake: from Tremezzo, Cadenabbia and Menaggio, the ferry takes you across to Bellagio and Varenna, no car needed. If you are arriving via Milan and staying only a few nights, Cernobbio, Moltrasio, Blevio or Torno save you long transfers. And some hotels have their own boats: the Grand Hotel Tremezzo vintage motorboats at its own marina, Passalacqua Riva boats for excursions, Il Sereno Lake Como boats from the Cantiere Ernesto Riva boatyard. Ask our travel advisors if you are planning a day out on the lake.
