The legendary shores of Lake Como have always been synonymous with timeless Italian glamour. Now, a bold new chapter has begun. The Lake Como EDITION has officially opened its doors, introducing a refreshing and refined take on luxury that perfectly balances the destination’s rich history with the brand’s signature contemporary style.
Housed within a meticulously reimagined 19th-century palazzo in Cadenabbia, the hotel is poised along the western shore, offering unparalleled, sweeping views across the water to the picturesque Bellagio promontory. This is not just a hotel opening; it’s a redefinition of la dolce vita for the modern, culturally savvy traveler.
A Design That Honors the Past
The architecture and interiors are a masterclass in blending eras. The historic palazzo retains its classic Italian bones—including its original cream-and-clay exterior and vaulted ceilings—while the interiors, created in collaboration with the renowned Shanghai-based design studio Neri&Hu, embody EDITION’s chic, contemporary ethos.
Guests are greeted by light-filled public spaces featuring marble archways and terrazzo floors. The 148 guest rooms and suites, including two lavish penthouses, are designed as serene retreats. They feature:
Refined Detailing: Custom walnut furnishings, plush Italian linens, and bespoke rugs in calming, lake-inspired blue tones.
A View to Remember: Many rooms boast original, restored French balconies that open up to breathtaking vistas of Lake Como and the surrounding mountains.
A Culinary Destination with Star Power
The Lake Como EDITION is set to become a major culinary destination, thanks to the vision of three-Michelin-starred Chef Mauro Colagreco. The acclaimed chef, known for his nature-first philosophy at Mirazur in France, has created the dining program for his first venture in Italy.
Renzo: An all-day dining experience embodying the warmth of Italian family gatherings, focused on generous, shared seasonal dishes and set against the backdrop of the lake on a pergola-shaded terrace.
The Pool: A more relaxed, poolside venue offering a light, seafood-heavy menu perfect for lounging.
The Lobby Bar: A soaring, sophisticated space serving coffee and aperitivos with coveted waterfront seating.
Unparalleled Lakeside Amenities
The hotel’s amenities are specifically designed to immerse guests in the Lake Como lifestyle, connecting them seamlessly to the water.
The Floating Pool: A standout feature is the striking floating pool on the lake itself, surrounded by cabanas and lounge chairs.
Wellness & Longevity: The hotel is also home to one of the brand’s high-tech Longevity Spas, featuring a serene thermal pool that offers views of Lake Como, along with a herbal sauna, Turkish bath, and treatments that blend anti-aging science with holistic therapies.
Water Access: With a private dock and direct waterfront access, guests can easily embark on scenic boat tours, a must-do for exploring the area.
The Lake Como EDITION stands as a sophisticated retreat where the grandeur of Italy’s most romantic lake meets the vibrant, curated social energy of the modern luxury brand, promising a truly unforgettable stay.
