Sheraton Lake Como Hotel opened its doors to guests earlier this month, becoming the first internationally branded upscale property to open in Italy’s world famous lake region. Surrounded by the Alps and the bright blue water of Lake Como, the property offers 116 guestrooms, including four newly renovated suites, and a range of leisure facilities, including two outdoor swimming pools.

“With beautiful new guestrooms, impressive culinary experiences and an array of meeting spaces within a spectacular surrounding, Sheraton Lake Como is an excellent addition to the brand’s global portfolio,” said Dave Marr, global brand leader, Sheraton Hotels & Resorts. “Located in one of Italy’s most sought-after destinations, the property not only strengthens the brand’s presence in a top tourism market in Europe, but also puts Sheraton one step closer to its goal of opening more than 150 new hotels over the next five years.”

Guests can choose from two distinctive dining venues providing an array of culinary options. For meetings and events, the hotel offers a large conference center with 10 modular rooms and close proximity to the area’s prestigious Villa Erba Exhibition and Conference Centre.
