Forbes Vetted's Best Hotel for Couples in Lake Como — a stylish contemporary property in Como town steps from the lake train station (one hour to Milan), with panoramic lake and mountain views, a romantic garden bar with made-to-order cocktails, and the celebrated Antica Darsena restaurant.
Why We Chose It
Palace Hotel Lake Como is Forbes Vetted's Best Hotel for Couples on the lake — a stylish property in Como town with an intimate sense of privacy and panoramic views of the lake and mountains. Its location steps from Lake Como's train station makes it the most practical base for travelers combining a lake stay with time in Milan (one hour by train). Many rooms have patterned hardwood floors, high tufted headboards, and elegant sconces; the garden bar is a highlight, with bartenders creating surprise cocktails for guests. The on-site Antica Darsena restaurant serves crowd-pleasing Italian classics — risotto, veal cutlet — alongside a well-priced tasting menu open to hotel guests and non-guests alike.
