Written by Nitika Choraria

Some destinations ask to be admired; Lake Como invites you to linger. It’s here that Hilton Hotels & Resorts — drawing on more than a century of hospitality and a portfolio of over 600 hotels across six continents — presents one of its most compelling addresses. Once a historic silk mill, Hilton Lake Como has been thoughtfully transformed into a contemporary lifestyle retreat, where innovative design, generous spaces, a restorative spa and a rooftop infinity pool frame uninterrupted 180-degree views across one of Italy’s most captivating landscapes.

At Hilton Lake Como, summer is a celebration of light, landscape and effortless living. Set moments from the historic centre and shimmering waterfront, it offers you the opportunity to discover Como’s cultural treasures before returning to refined interiors, restorative wellness experiences and a rooftop infinity pool suspended above the lake’s tranquil horizon.

The season comes alive through a curated collection of experiences that celebrate tradition, flavour and wellbeing. The convivial spirit of Streetfood, the rejuvenating rituals of eforea spa & health club and the vibrant atmosphere of Terrazza 241 create moments of connection and discovery. Overlooking the lake, the rooftop destination returns with its signature aperitivo, daily music selection and an inspired summer menu, where fresh seasonal flavours meet the enduring elegance of Como.

Beyond its distinctive façade lies a story of transformation, where the character of a former silk factory has been reimagined for modern living. Across 170 beautifully appointed rooms, including 20 suites and the exclusive Presidential Rooftop Suite with its panoramic terrace overlooking the first basin of Lake Como, every space reflects thoughtful design. Expansive windows, natural light, warm textures and refined details honour the building’s industrial heritage while creating an atmosphere of understated serenity.

Dining unfolds an exploration of flavour and shared moments, with each space offering its own distinctive expression at Hilton Lake Como. Perched above the lake, Terrazza 241 remains the hotel’s signature destination, where panoramic views, creative Italian and international cuisine, seasonal cocktails and its iconic aperitivo ritual define the summer experience. Among its highlights is Origins, a new cocktail inspired by places, memories and meaningful ingredients, transforming every sip into a journey of discovery. From the carefully crafted breakfast experience at Satin Restaurant to the refined ambience of Taffeta Bar and the seasonal gatherings of Taffeta Garden, each setting invites guests to savour the art of lingering.
