A New Era of Elegance: The Lake Como EDITION Hotel Unveils Its Timeless Transformation
Nestled gracefully along the tranquil shores of Lake Como, a timeless beauty has emerged from the pages of history—the recently rejuvenated Lake Como EDITION Hotel. This luxurious sanctuary artfully replaces the iconic Hotel Britannia Excelsior, heralding a renaissance steeped in opulence, design innovation, and a commitment to sophisticated hospitality.
Acquired in 2021 through a partnership between Bain Capital and Omnam Group, this exquisite property has undergone a comprehensive metamorphosis that reimagines luxury within a breathtaking setting. Under the meticulous eye of celebrated designers Neri&Hu and De.Tales, the historic structure retains much of its original façade, embracing a storied heritage while seamlessly integrating modern refinement. Guests are greeted by an elegant drop-off area that sets the stage for an enchanting experience.
Inside, 148 extraordinary rooms and suites unfold across a spectrum of seven inviting accommodations, including the stunning Villa Gina. Each space is a testament to thoughtful design, showcasing sumptuous textiles by Kvadrat, intricate ceramics from Marazzi, and exquisite marble from MGS, all harmoniously blended to evoke an atmosphere of serenity and sophistication.
The culinary journey at The Lake Como EDITION is nothing short of remarkable. Guests can indulge in Chef Mauro Colagreco’s much-anticipated restaurant, Cetino, which draws inspiration from the region’s rich natural bounty—from the emerald lake to the rustic land. Renzo, the idyllic terrace restaurant, invites visitors to savor picturesque views as they relish all-day dining infused with local flavors. Meanwhile, the Pool Bar serves Mediterranean-inspired refreshments, complemented by the chic Lobby Bar, which offers light bites and artisanal cocktails, some venues exclusive to guests while others welcome the public.
Wellness enthusiasts will find a sanctuary within The Longevity Suite, where the indulgent SPA sprawls over an oasis of relaxation. With seven treatment rooms, Finnish and herbal saunas, and both steam and Turkish baths, the spa invites you to unwind in lavish surroundings. A heated indoor pool and an exhilarating cold plunge add to the rejuvenation experience, alongside bespoke treatments such as the Iki-Sabi Ritual and Ultimate Biohacking protocol. The fitness center, equipped with cutting-edge Technogym apparatus, promises an invigorating escape, enriched by seasonal offerings like sunrise yoga and guided mountain hikes that elevate the spirit.
Later this summer, the allure expands further with the debut of The Lido—a captivating new pool and lido space, replete with a stylish bar and restaurant, inviting both hotel guests and the public to bask in the languid, sun-drenched days that Lake Como generously provides.
As the curtain rises on this magnificent chapter, The Lake Como EDITION Hotel stands as an emblem of elevated luxury, reflecting the artistry and craftsmanship that echo the soul of the UAE and beyond. Whether it is a serene retreat or an indulgent escape, this sanctuary promises an experience that dances gracefully between heritage and contemporary allure, a true masterpiece awaiting your discovery.
