Mandarin Oriental’s first European resort, the 75-room Mandarin Oriental, Lago di Como plays steward to a lakefront botanical garden. Guests easily lose track of time wandering the landscaped pathways between the nine villas or lounging by the spectacular floating swimming pool. Water plays a central role at The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Lago di Como, blending East Asian philosophy with a Western approach. Italian cuisine comes with a twist at the fine dining restaurant L˜ARIA, while the CO.MO Bar & Bistrot is perfectly relaxed and informal; both restaurants offer panoramic views of the lake and the surrounding landscape.
