Few destinations in the world rival the timeless glamour of Lake Como, and soon, it will welcome a new icon of refined hospitality. Corinthia Hotels Limited has officially signed a management agreement to operate a world-class luxury resort in Menaggio, marking a significant expansion of the brand’s Italian portfolio.
Set to open in late 2028, Corinthia Lake Como promises to blend heritage, nature, and contemporary luxury in one of Europe’s most coveted alpine-lake settings.
A New Landmark on Lake Como
The 58-key Corinthia Lake Como will be built adjacent to the grounds of Italy’s second-oldest golf course, in the charming alpine village of Menaggio, overlooking the widest stretch of Lake Como. This strategic location offers sweeping lake views, a strong sense of privacy, and seamless access to both water and mountains.
This will be Corinthia’s second property in Italy, following the highly acclaimed Corinthia Rome, reinforcing the brand’s long-term commitment to the Italian luxury hospitality market.
Design Rooted in Heritage and Nature
Designed to feel deeply connected to its surroundings, the resort will pair beautifully restored historic architecture with generous outdoor living spaces. Rather than a single monolithic structure, the resort’s public areas will be thoughtfully curated across three elegant villas, housing:
- A refined lobby
- A relaxed lounge
- An exclusive golf club
Guestrooms and suites will be discreetly nestled into the foothills of the Alps, ensuring privacy, tranquillity, and uninterrupted views of the lake and surrounding landscape.
Wellness, Dining & a Floating Pool on the Lake
True to Corinthia’s philosophy of thoughtful luxury, the Lake Como resort will place a strong emphasis on wellness and lifestyle experiences, including:
- A world-class spa and wellness sanctuary
- Curated dining experiences that balance refinement with relaxed elegance
- A private lakefront club offering direct access to the water
- A floating pool set on the widest part of Lake Como, poised to become one of the destination’s most iconic features
Guests can expect serene spa rituals, slow-luxury dining moments, and immersive outdoor living that celebrates the natural beauty of the region.
A Vision of Timeless Italian Luxury
Commenting on the announcement, Simon Casson, CEO of Corinthia Hotels, said:
“We are honoured to be expanding our portfolio in Italy and to partner with RoundShield and Kervis on this landmark project. Lake Como is one of the world’s most admired destinations, and this development represents a shared commitment to excellence and authenticity.”
He added that the resort will celebrate the region’s splendour and heritage while exemplifying Corinthia’s standards of timeless, thoughtful luxury.
Opening Timeline
Construction is expected to commence following final planning approvals, with operations targeted for late 2028. Once open, Corinthia Lake Como is set to become one of the most sought-after luxury resorts in Northern Italy, appealing to discerning travellers, wellness seekers, and golf and lifestyle enthusiasts alike.
Why It Matters for Luxury Travel
With demand for low-density, experience-led luxury resorts continuing to rise, Corinthia Lake Como represents a new benchmark for lakefront hospitality in Europe—one that seamlessly blends heritage, design, wellness, and destination-led living.
For those who value quiet luxury, architectural integrity, and meaningful travel, Lake Como’s next chapter is already taking shape.
