Book the Grand Hotel Tremezzo with VIP Benefits

The Grand Tremezzo is an ultra-luxurious hotel on the shores of Lake Como in northern Italy. Besides, Lake Como is one of the most romantic and gorgeous Lakeland settings globally, and the Grand matches the scenic beauty of these surroundings.

Opened in 1910, this palatial 5-star hotel is on the water's edge with sweeping views across the lake from its opulent public rooms and accommodations.

Boasting 90 luxurious rooms and suites, 5 fabulous restaurants/bars, a private beach, a sublime spa, and lush gardens, the Grand Hotel Tremezzo is a lakeside gem.

Location

Lake Como, Lombardy (also known as Lario) is easily accessible, merely an hour's drive from Milan and Malpensa International Airport. Naturally shaped like an inverted Y, the lake fans out in shimmering beauty to a meeting point at the picturesque village of Bellagio, 'the pearl of Lake Como.'

Moreover, the area and the hotel are famous for typical Italian hospitality and attract visitors from within Italy and worldwide.

Reception

The extravagant late Belle Epoque style of the Grand has been lovingly restored by its present owners and updated to include every modern amenity. Additionally, a truly grand sweeping entrance leads into the main building. It displays regal gold and crimson décor, gleaming flooring, plush seating, and fine furniture.

The foyer is an art nouveau statement with huge windows overlooking the lake upstairs to the first floor. The space is also crowded with padded velvet chairs and sofas in mismatching colors of apricot, lilac, lime green, and pink that somehow work.

Period tables and lamps, drapes and swags, and wall art fill up the rest of the room. Moreover, the young and enthusiastic staff welcomes guests with warmth and efficiency. The hotel also has a first-class concierge and housekeeping services.

Prestige, Deluxe, Park or Lake View Rooms

All the rooms and suites are exceptional, with many luxury features. Besides, some benefit from glorious Lake views, but those without are still wonderful, overlooking the gorgeous, peaceful hotel gardens.

Prestige rooms are cozy and grand with warm colors, plush seating, fine furniture, paintings, and gilt touches. Long draped windows also give onto Juliet balconies and views of the park's lush greenery and flora.

Furthermore, the lake view looks out across the water, and both feature large lavish bathrooms in softly toning colors. Deluxe rooms are similar but with more space and deeply padded extra seating. Also, cushioned window seats are an added pleasure.

The Historic Suites. Terrace Garden, Emilia, Signature, and Greta

All these glamorous suites feature deeply comfortable sofas/chairs in soft mauve and old rose. There are also sumptuous silver fabrics with a generous scattering of silky cushions. The terrace is the smallest of these spacious suites, extending to the park's expansive deck.

The other 3 have gorgeous Lake Views, natural light from long windows, balconies, fine furniture, and large comfortable beds. The Greta suite is named after the famed film actress Great Garbo who gave the hotel a favorable mention in the 1932 film 'Grand Hotel.'

This suite has an expansive balcony, living room, dining area, elegant drapes and swags, and period furniture. The 2 bathrooms also feature Breche de Vendome marble's harlequin colors, circular jacuzzi tubs, and lavish fitments.

The Rooftop Suites. Junior, Corner, Front, and Penthouse

All these apartment-style suites have panoramic views of the Lake and Grigne Mountains. They also have private terraces with whirlpool tubs, additional living space, and many refinements.

The décor has a more contemporary feel but is still lavish, keeping with the Grand tradition. Bathrooms are in various types of marble, and the most refined luxury toiletries are available for guests.

However, the Front suite is the most central of the palazzo and commands excellent views along and across the lake. Besides, floor-to-ceiling windows flood the rooms with natural light, and doors open directly onto terraces. Rooftop occupants also benefit from a butler and exceptional concierge services.

Lakeside Dining. La Terrazza Restaurant and L'Escale Trattoria

The sheer joy of eating is very much part of Italian culture, a fact well understood in this family-run hotel. 5 restaurants and wine bars pay homage to the best Italian cuisine, none more so than at La Terrazza.

This exquisite waterside restaurant, where waiting for staff and guests 'dress for dinner,' still serves menus inspired by the legendary Italian chef Gualtiero Marchesi. Moreover, Fine Dining by candlelight in this elegant setting overlooking the idyllic Lake Como could hardly be more romantic and dreamlike.

L'Escale has a different ambiance in an inventive setting carved into the wine cellars' rocky walls. Pasta, seafood, and grills of local provenance are served along with Swiss fondue and raclette. Also, a staggering number of wines accompany the dishes.

Drinking and Outdoor Dining. T-Bar, T-Beach, and T-Beach

Another option is all-day Dining on the T-Bar terrace, with cocktails at night and piano music drifting across the lake. You can seriously enjoy the proper breakfast menus here.

Authentic wood-fired pizzas are another choice in the lush hotel gardens beside the charming Flowers Pool. Besides, T-Beach is simply champagne and great barbeques.

T-Spa and Wellness

The hotel has 3 pools, including a floating pool out on the lake. T-Spa's magnificent shimmering azure indoor heated infinity pool sets a standard for sublime treatment suites, a marble Hammam, steam rooms, and Santa Maria Novella products. Also, a tennis court and a 3-story fitness center are open 24 hours daily.

Children

The hotel serves children's menus and provides toys, books, and DVDs. Buckets and spades are also available for active little ones on the private beach.

Villa Sola Cabiati and Villa Carlotta

This private villa of the family is open to visiting guests and is just a few minutes from the Grand Hotel. Besides, the stunning building showcases the priceless art and glorious architecture of the most delicate and extravagant years of La Belle Epoque.

Takeaway

The beauty of Lake Como and the Grand Hotel Tremezzo's magnificence easily persuade some global visitors to return often. For others, it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that is never forgotten with the perfect location on Lake Como.
