Grand Hotel Imperiale Resort & Spa

You’ll find the elegant Grand Hotel Imperiale Resort and Spa on the lakefront road at the edge of Moltrasio, a pretty town on the western side of Lake Como. The property sits on both sides of the road, and the buildings – and their well-tended gardens – are connected by an underground tunnel. The main building dates back to the early 20^th Century and has preserved some pretty Art Nouveau features, like white marble floors, detailed ceiling art, and stone-walled balconies, so it really looks the part.

Head over to the lakefront part of the property and prepare to be wowed by a stylish outdoor pool and an expertly renovated villa, both with fantastic views over Lake Como. You’ll also find the La Vela bar here, which serves drinks and light bites with a view. For some added relaxation, take yourself off to the spa, which comes with an indoor pool, a salt cabin, a sauna, and a steam room. And if you’re not the type to sit still, make use of the hotel’s tennis court, driving range, and putting green.
