An iconic Belle Époque palace on the western shore of Lake Como at Tremezzo, this hotel has welcomed guests since 1910. Its terraced gardens, floating pool on the lake and exceptional cuisine create an unparalleled lakeside experience.
The Grand Hotel Tremezzo has welcomed guests to the western shore of Lake Como since 1910, its Belle Époque facade one of the most recognisable silhouettes on the lake. Situated in the village of Tremezzo in Lombardy, the hotel commands sweeping views across the water toward Bellagio and the dramatic Lombard Alps beyond. The elegant terraced gardens descend directly to the shoreline, and the hotel's celebrated floating pool — one of only a handful in the world — is moored on the lake itself, creating an unparalleled setting for swimming.
The 90 rooms and suites span the main Tremezzo building and the Villa Emilia annex; categories range from Classic Lake View rooms to grand Panorama Suites with generous private terraces. All rooms are furnished in a warm Italian country-house style combined with contemporary comforts, and lake-facing rooms offer outstanding morning light over the water.
Three distinctive dining venues serve the hotel: the Tremezzo restaurant delivers refined Italian cuisine with an emphasis on fresh seasonal ingredients from Lombardy, while T Bar and the lakeside La Terrazza provide lighter fare and exceptional cocktail options throughout the day and evening. The wine programme is anchored by a strong selection of Lombard, Piedmontese, and Tuscan labels.
The wellness centre offers a comprehensive treatment menu, and the hotel's three pools — including the famous floating lake pool and a heated indoor pool — cater to all seasons. Water sports, kayaks, and lake boat excursions operate from the private dock. A dedicated fitness room and tennis court complete the sporting offering.
The hotel's concierge team is expert in organising villa garden visits, boat excursions to Villa del Balbianello and Villa Carlotta, and private transfers to Bellagio and Como city. Grand Hotel Tremezzo is seasonal, generally open from spring to autumn.
