Hilton Lake Como taps into the Italian municipality’s present-day status as a fashion-forward destination and illustrious past as a silk production region.
A century-old former silk factory serves as the foundation, while structures built onto it are a nod to the popularity of greenhouses among elite homeowners who had them built into their estates in the 19th and 20th centuries.
The design, conceived by Monica Limonta, architect and owner of the hotel, puts guests visually and spiritually into the heart of Como’s natural beauty and architectural elegance.

Como’s “old town” is 15–20 minutes from the front door on foot. Paved walkways leading there are gorgeously flanked with landmark buildings and homes including Villa Olmo, now a government building.
Other walking-distance attractions include its main marinia, the Volta Museum, and The Aero Club Como, a century-old sea plane flight school.
The town center abounds with top-tier shopping and Duomo de Como, adorned with nine 16th-century tapestries and paintings by Gaudenzio Ferrari and Bernardino Luini (a contemporary of Leonardo da Vinci).

The hotel in its 170-room entirety is a retreat by design, outfitted with floor-to-ceiling windows and clean-lined furnishings. The main rooftop is outfitted with an outdoor pool and Terrazza 241, a glass-enclosed bar-restaurant that flows into outdoor seating.
Earthy materials like dark-wood flooring, exposed bricks, and plants provide visual continuity throughout the public and private areas of the building.
The Best Spas on the Amalfi Coast
On the first floor just beyond the airy lobby, full-service restaurant Taffeta is alive with silk-inspired color and coziness as is Satin, providing a sunlit setting for far-above-average breakfasts, including a rotation of green juices and smoothies awaiting guests at the entrance.

Eforea Spa is a global Hilton signature service, and like other locations, guests will find a 24-hour gym, indoor pool and sophisticated water features. However, this Eforea Spa has a local feel thanks to the use of Italian-made skincare lines, silk-inspired motifs, landscaping, and panoramic lake and mountain views.
Veronica Lippi, Hilton Lake Como’s Eforea Spa & Health Club manager, details the small details and the bigger picture of what makes the wellness hub so special.
“What truly makes the experience memorable is the hospitality and customer focus of our team, who take pride in tailoring each visit to individual needs,” she says. “It is this combination of luminous spaces, attentive service, and the ability to customize each moment that makes our spa so beloved. Guests leave not only relaxed, but with the feeling of having experienced something uniquely theirs.”

Insider’s Tips: Evening is the most beneficial time for facials, as skin cells are twice as active overnight, enhancing the absorption and impact of the treatment’s active ingredients. If someone has a special event and wishes to showcase radiant, flawless skin, we recommend preparing with the Sothys DX Glow Facial once a week for three weeks leading up to the occasion.
A treatment should be scheduled a couple of days before the event to ensure maximum results. For maximum effectiveness, we suggest beginning with the spa journey to deeply cleanse and open the pores, followed by the facial treatment.

Guests’ Favorite: It’s hard to pick, every treatment we offer is designed to be a favorite in its own way. But if I really had to choose, I would highlight our facial treatments, loved for the immediate radiance and visible results they bring to our guests.
Another that stands out is the hot stone massage, where the soothing warmth of the stones enhances the benefits of the massage itself, creating a deeply relaxing and sensory experience that nurtures both body and mind.

Unique Treatment: Our signature and most exclusive ritual, the “Lake Como Silk Journey,” is an 80‑minute celebration of luxury and well-being. More than a treatment, it is a story of heritage and luxury, paying tribute to the artistry of Como silk that is designed to make every guest feel truly pampered.
Inspired by the timeless elegance of Como’s world‑renowned silk, this experience transforms the fabric into a tool of relaxation and artistry. Gentle stretching techniques with silk of varying textures release tension and enhance flexibility, enveloping the body in a sensation of refinement unique to this region.
The journey continues with a deeply indulgent body massage, where precious essential oils blend seamlessly with traditional massage oil to nourish the skin and soothe the senses. Finally, a calming head massage completes the ritual, leaving guests restored, serene, and embraced by the spirit of Hilton Lake Como.

Splurge Treatment: One of our most indulgent experiences is the “Ritual of Love.” The 80‑minute couple’s massage begins with lighting a massage candle that, once lit, transforms into a warm, fragrant, and nourishing butter gently applied to the skin.
The ritual continues with a targeted eye contour treatment and a soothing head massage, creating a deeply restorative journey. As with all our massages, guests may enhance their experience by enjoying our spa journey either before or after the treatment.
