Hilton Lake Como

Hilton Lake Como is a contemporary four-star hotel on the western shore of Lake Como, set on Via Borgo Vico just a short stroll from the neoclassical Villa Olmo and roughly twenty minutes on foot from the old town, Piazza Cavour and the cathedral. Buses stop right outside the entrance and Como San Giovanni railway station is about one and a half kilometres away.

The 170 rooms and suites are bright and airy, with parquet floors, wood-and-glass furnishings, large windows, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a coffee machine and a minibar; many have a balcony or patio and some look out over the lake. The most striking options are the two-level loft suites with glass roofs and the rooftop suites with a private terrace and hot tub.

The rooftop is the star of the show: a heated infinity pool facing the lake and mountains, a poolside bar, a sun deck and the panoramic Terrazza 241 restaurant. Two more venues (Satin and Taffeta Streetfood), the eforea spa with indoor pool, sauna, steam room and treatments, a 24-hour gym, six meeting rooms and covered parking with EV chargers round out the offer. The hotel holds Green Key certification and suits couples, families and business travellers alike. Dogs up to 20 kg are welcome (maximum two per room).
