The four-star Palace is a hotel situated in an Art Nouveau palace on the shores of Lake Como. In the centre of the city, the hotel is close to the cathedral, social theatre, shops, restaurants and jewellery stores.
Rooms are classically styled, with air conditioning, satellite TV, minibar, safe, complimentary toiletries and hypo-allergenic pillows. Some enjoy views over the old town, while others boast lake views.
Guests can utilise the landscaped gardens, free Wi-Fi and lounge rooms. The 24-hour front desk can assist those wishing to launder clothes or store luggage.
Antica Dorsena Restaurant is an elegant space where a Mediterranean menu of local and regional cuisine is served, while the Garden Bar Ceccato serves everything from ice creams to aperitifs, and plays host to barbecue evenings.
There are seven golf clubs within a 20km radius; including Villa d'Este and Menaggio & Cadenabbia. Milan is a 50-minute drive away.
Previous guests highly recommend upgrading to a lake view room; spaces are larger and you can enjoy the stunning views from floor-to-ceiling windows. It is worth considering, however, that these rooms are the most affected by noise travelling when the garden bar plays music.
positive:
Convenient Como location.
In a central Como location, the hotel is ideally placed for guests to explore it's restaurants, nightlife, shops and attractions; such as the cathedral. The wharf is a stones throw away for those planning a boat trip.
positive:
Buffet breakfast in an elegant setting.
The buffet breakfast is widely complimented for its quality and variety of fresh produce, the room it is housed in is equally as impressive; with chandeliers, large paintings and gold mirrors adoring the walls.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Additional charges.
Not everything is included in the cost of a stay at the Palace hotel. Those wishing to park, use more than two devices on the Wi-Fi or use room service, will be charged relatively high fees. It may be worth checking the exact costs with the hotel before you book.
negative:
Limited facilities.
Unfortunately, the hotel does not have any leisure facilities to speak of; there is no hotel pool, sauna, steam room, spa or gym, so most guests opt to spend most of their time exploring the area. In rooms, there are no tea and coffee making facilities, and limited storage space for guests staying more than a few days.
negative:
Air conditioning teething problems.
Several guests have commented on the air conditioning. Controls are operated in reception, so you do not have the option to amend the temperature yourself. Some previous guests have reported having the air conditioning shut down altogether in the middle of the night, although this is not the experience of the majority.
