Live like a royal by the lake
Stand outside the Palace Hotel and you’ll see that it really lives up to its name. This 19th Century Art Nouveau-style mansion looks fit for royalty, and the interiors don’t disappoint. Expect grand halls with glitzy chandeliers, intricately detailed ceilings, and antique furniture.
As far as location goes, it doesn’t get much better than this. The Palace Hotel is in a lakefront spot and comes with sweeping views over the water. You’ll find the Duomo, the Piazza Cavour, and plenty of museums within a five-minute walk, as well as the train station, which provides connections to Milan and its airport. The ferry terminal is also nearby, which is great if you’d like to get out on the water to see more of the villages that surround Lake Como.
Old meets new in the rooms here – they’re classically styled yet contemporary, with crisp white bedding, trendy feature walls, and smart bathrooms. Each room is spacious and comes with a flat-screen TV, air conditioning, free WiFi, and a flat-screen TV. If you want to make the most of the hotel’s stunning location, you can upgrade to a lakeview room with a balcony.
The hotel’s restaurant, Antica Darsena, serves an à la carte menu of Italian and international dishes, all made with fresh local ingredients. The restaurant enjoys views over the lake, and during the warmer months, you can also dine al fresco on the summer terrace. Be sure to also try the Garden Bar Ceccato, famous for its homemade gelato. The bar also serves light bites and drinks, and is the perfect place to watch the sun set over the lake.
At breakfast time, head to the majestic Magna Ballroom and help yourself to dishes from the breakfast buffet. A range of fresh pastries, breads, cold meats and cheeses will set you up nicely for a day of exploring Como.
