Hotel Palace

 

Travelers who wish to enjoy the beauties and wonders of Lake Como without a car should consider this venerable old hotel. Occupying a 19th-century palazzo next door to a 21-st century annex, it is right at the edge of the lake, yet a short walk from the rail station, shops, restaurants and public transportation connecting you to all points on the lake, as well as Milan and Switzerland. Stay for a few days and spend a couple of them visiting the spectacular gardens and villas on the lake, then whiz up to St. Moritz for a day, or into Milan to see The Last Supper or La Scala, or do some serious shopping. Como is also a world center for silk manufacturing, so if you like elegant attire, you will find plenty to admire here. And when your delightful day is over, book a lakeside table at the hotel restaurant so you can watch the sunset paint the nearby Alps pink before hundreds of little lights begin to sparkle across the water.



Location: In Como city, right on the waterfront of Lake Como. It is about one hour's drive from Milan. All the beautiful old buildings of medieval Como are within 5-10 minutes' walk. Click here to see a map.
 
 
Public transportation: The steamers stop frequently, right in front of the hotel, and ply between Bellagio, Varenna, Menaggio, Tremezzo and the historic villa gardens for which Como is famous. The bus from Malpensa Airport also stops right in front of the hotel. Trains from Malpensa Airport stop 100 yards from the hotel; trains from downtown Milan and Switzerland stop about 600 yards from the hotel.
 
 
Rooms: 100, including doubles, triples, and family suites, all with wall-to-wall carpet, great closet space, good lighting, big windows and excellent beds. All the rooms are basically the same size, but some face the garden or the town, while others face the lake. There are no connecting rooms. Family suites have a bedroom with queen bed, a bedroom with two single beds, and a bathroom; they do not have lake view. A few non-smoking rooms are available.
 
 
Features: Air conditioning, double-glazed windows, color satellite TV and pay TV, direct-dial telephone with high-speed DSL connection, and mini-bar; some rooms also have a safe. Non-allergenic pillows and plug adapters are available. Each room has a private bathroom with stall shower or bathtub and wall shower, hair dryer and courtesy set.
 
 
Facilities: Elevator; American buffet breakfast served in a stunning rococo salon with lake view; gourmet restaurant open 7 days a week; gazebo overlooking the lake where snacks and drinks are served; indoor coffee bar; indoor parking (15 Euro/night).
