Mandarin Oriental, Lago di Como

This property is a jewel on the shores of Lake Como. It’s Heaven on Earth. The gardens, views of the Lake, infinity pool and spa are the most relaxing space you’ll ever experience anywhere in the world. The staff are the most genuinely caring Souls. The room service, overall food & drink selection is absolutely incredible - they serve works of culinary art, not just food. The interior design throughout the property is stunning. My Grand Lake View Suite truly was grand. It felt like a home away from home. The view from my suite’s terrace was absolutely beautiful. The mini bar selection deserves a special mention, as does the bathroom, which is so thoughtfully appointed. I loved the bath tub with massage function and the shower. The in-house spa is an oasis of calm & comfort. From the staff at the spa to the overall ambience, it is THE place to go to feel all the stress leave your body, mind & Spirit: The hot stone massage I received was the best I’ve ever experienced outside of Hawai’i - I didn’t want it to end. Again, what makes the Mandarin Oriental - Lago di Como stand out is the incredible kindness of the staff. There were so many moments in which their small, loving gestures caught me off guard and actually made me tear up - like the jar of their own organic honey they gifted me. I would have asked for it at the end of my stay, but the point is, I never needed to ask, they just blessed me with it on their own. Or the coffee I had just before my departure that they also gifted me. It’s these small gestures that my heart will always remember. Especially during a time like this, given that the pandemic has changed the face of travel & the world, it has been healing beyond words to experience the Mandarin Oriental Lago di Como, where it truly feels like the world is peaceful & still intact, where human kindness still reigns supreme and every moment spent feels like an answered prayer. I will most definitely be returning.

This hotel was my "White Lotus" experience. Amazing property. We had a duplex suite (their smallest room) in the renovated Villa Roccabruna, a private home converted to hotel suites. The view from the room, its size, amenities, a welcome gift (fans of MO, free registration)...cannot wait to come back!

The 2nd time we have visited Manderin Hotel and quite honestly best hotel we've ever stayed in for overall service from everyone of the team @ the hotel Couldn't fault anything if i tried, we plan to go back next year !!
