A new address on Lake Como
Developed through a partnership between EDITION, Omnam Investment Group, and Bain Capital, the hotel marks the brand’s 21st location worldwide. It occupies a former hotel first built in 1830, returning the heritage property to the shoreline with a fresher, more social interpretation of Italian luxury.
Located in Cadenabbia, the hotel faces Bellagio across the water and sits beside the Lake Como Greenway. Guests can arrive via a private dock, use the hotel’s boat fleet for scenic excursions, or connect with nearby villages through the local ferry service.
Design shaped by natural stone
The interiors were developed by EDITION’s creative team alongside Neri&Hu and De.Tales. The original cream, butter, and clay exterior tones remain, while the interior introduces marble-faced arches, terrazzo flooring, dramatic greenery, and generous lake views.
For design enthusiasts—and homeowners considering a renovation—the stonework is especially inspiring. A sculptural staircase, white Palomba stone terrazzo, Calacatta marble, and a celadon-green Sekoyamarble bar create a layered look that feels both polished and welcoming. These materials show how natural stone can bring classic touch, smooth finish, warmth, and elegance to contemporary spaces—qualities Surfaces Galore values when helping customers choose surfaces for their own homes.
Rooms with a quieter point of view
The hotel’s 148 rooms include 25 suites and two penthouses, while Villa Gina adds nine guestrooms. Interiors pair bespoke walnut furnishings with pale blue rugs, curved seating, and white Calacatta marble tables that echo the lake outside.
Calacatta Turquoise marble appears around archways and baseboards, while bathrooms use Calacatta Gold Stone marble with fluted glass and polished brass. Restored French balconies in the lakeside rooms provide another direct connection to the landscape.
Dining, wellness, and life by the water
Chef Mauro Colagreco oversees four culinary concepts, including Cetino, a signature restaurant focused on ingredient-led contemporary gastronomy, and Renzo, an all-day venue with a panoramic terrace. A poolside seafood offering and the Lobby Bar round out the hotel’s dining program.
The Longevity SPA is the property’s second location in Italy and combines advanced recovery treatments with thermal bathing and holistic rituals. Its facilities include an indoor pool, herbal sauna, Turkish bath, plunge pools, seven treatment rooms, and a Technogym-equipped gym.
Outside, a floating lake pool, cabanas, lounge areas, and a dock create a relaxed summer setting. Together, the hotel’s social spaces, refined stone details, and connection to the water position The Lake Como EDITION as a distinctive new destination for travelers seeking modern Italian elegance.
