Transformation awaits on the shores of Lake Como, where a historic 19th-century palazzo in Cadenabbia is set to become The Lake Como Edition, a luxury hotel opening in March 2026. This ambitious project promises to blend the time-honored charm of Lake Como with a fresh take on modern design, setting a new standard for hospitality in the region.
The Lake Como Edition will maintain the structure’s original grandeur, while infusing it with a sleek, minimalist aesthetic. Soft rose-toned plaster, vaulted ceilings, and open spaces create an atmosphere that feels both inviting and sophisticated, as if the palazzo itself has decided to don its most fashionable attire for the occasion.
Historic grandeur meets sleek minimalism, as the palazzo’s rose-toned walls and vaulted ceilings invite guests into modern sophistication.
The hotel’s spacious accommodations are designed for comfort and style, offering 148 rooms, including 25 suites and two impressive penthouses. Each room is thoughtfully crafted to maximize natural light and scenic views, allowing guests to soak in the magic of Lake Como right from their window. Guests will also appreciate the average daily budget needed to explore the area comfortably.
Whether staying for a romantic getaway or a family vacation, every guest will find their own peaceful retreat within these walls. The modern design choices—muted colors, elegant shapes, and airy layouts—are sure to impress even the most discerning travelers, or at least make them reconsider their own home décor.
Taking the experience to the next level, the culinary program at The Lake Como Edition is overseen by world-renowned chef Mauro Colagreco. The signature restaurant, Cetino, will focus on ingredient-forward dishes, where the natural flavors of locally sourced produce shine through.
Guests can expect creative menus that pay respect to Italian traditions, but with the kind of contemporary twist only a chef of Colagreco’s caliber can deliver. It’s the kind of dining experience where every bite feels like a little celebration, and the only thing more impressive than the food is the view across the lake.
Beyond food and comfort, the hotel’s amenities are designed to surprise and delight. A floating pool with a lounge bar and cabanas offers a unique spot for relaxation, making it just as tempting to stay poolside as it is to explore the surrounding villages.
For those seeking wellness offerings, the Longevity Spa introduces innovative biohacking therapies, thermal amenities, and a light-filled indoor pool, proving that luxury can be both indulgent and good for you. Additionally, the hotel’s location provides easy access to various ferry routes connecting towns around Lake Como, making it ideal for exploring the stunning scenery.
With such thoughtful touches, The Lake Como Edition is poised to disrupt the traditional palazzo hospitality, ushering in a new era where history meets cutting-edge comfort and style.
