SUSTAINABILITY

This respect for the environment is a conscious and shared behaviour: from the designer to the people who work in the Hotel to our visitors.

With this in mind, we created an energy-efficient building. We do not use any plastic products and we are among the first on Lake Como to be equipped with charging stations for electric cars and e-bikes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of hotel is Hotel Promessi Sposi?

Hotel Promessi Sposi is a four-star superior boutique hotel on Lake Como, fully renovated in 2023 with a contemporary design. The hotel has 69 rooms and offers a complete experience: three dining venues (a gourmet restaurant, a bistrot with lake views, and a rooftop bar), a 200-square-metre spa with direct views over the lake, and a location in Malgrate on the quieter eastern shore, overlooking what is considered the most beautiful lakefront on Lake Como. It is designed for guests who want a premium Lake Como experience with all amenities on site, without the crowds, congestion, and high prices of the more touristy towns on the western shore.

What makes Hotel Promessi Sposi different from other hotels on Lake Como?

Three things set Hotel Promessi Sposi apart. First, the completeness of what is on offer: gourmet dining at Lisander, relaxed meals at Da Giovannino bistrot with lake views, drinks and lighter bites with panoramic views at the People rooftop bar, a spa with direct lake views, and a private motorboat for guests, all in one place. Second, contemporary design and art: the hotel was fully renovated in 2023 and is one of the few genuinely modern four-star properties on the lake, combining comfort with minimal Italian design and original artwork throughout the common areas. The covered private parking with Tesla and Porsche charging points is another practical advantage. Third, the location: on the eastern shore in Malgrate, facing Lecco, easy to reach from Milan, 20 minutes from Bellagio, and away from the tourist crowds. For guests who want a complete, refined experience without compromise, it is a rare combination on Lake Como.

When was Hotel Promessi Sposi renovated?

Hotel Promessi Sposi was fully renovated in 2023. The renovation covered all rooms, common areas, the spa and dining venues, with a focus on contemporary design, high-quality materials, and details such as soundproofing, air conditioning, and home automation systems. The result is one of the most modern four-star superior hotels on Lake Como, combining a current aesthetic with the comfort and service of a well-established property. The indoor private parking with 30 covered spaces and electric vehicle charging points (Tesla and Porsche destination charging) are a real asset for guests travelling by car.

Is Hotel Promessi Sposi suitable for a romantic weekend?

Hotel Promessi Sposi is a natural choice for a romantic weekend on Lake Como. The eastern shore at Malgrate is quiet and authentic, away from the bustle of the more touristy destinations, which makes it ideal for a couple's getaway. The hotel brings together everything you need: elegant rooms with lake views, the Comfort Zone spa overlooking the water, three dining options including the gourmet Lisander restaurant and the People rooftop bar with panoramic views, and a private motorboat experience on the lake. A spa evening, a refined dinner at Lisander and the next day a trip to Bellagio by car or motorboat, just 20 minutes away, can all be combined without complicated logistics. Everything is in one place.

Is Hotel Promessi Sposi suitable for an anniversary or special occasion?

Yes. Hotel Promessi Sposi is well equipped for celebrating an anniversary or a special occasion. You can choose from the rooms with lake views and terraces, arrange dinner at the Lisander gourmet restaurant with chef Roberto Pirelli, and add a private motorboat excursion on the lake to make the stay truly memorable. The Comfort Zone spa with lake views offers treatments and shared wellness moments, while the People rooftop bar is the ideal setting for a sunset aperitivo. For personalising a stay around a special occasion, it is worth contacting the hotel directly before arrival.

The Da Giovannino bistrot, with its terrace directly on the lake and a menu that includes artisan pizza and traditional dishes, is an informal setting the whole family can enjoy.
