HOTEL METROPOLE SUISSE, Como – A Smart Stay in the City
About the Hotel
Historic Lakeside Location
Hotel Metropole Suisse sits on the waterfront in Como's main square, a 5-minute walk from Como Lago and 55 km from Malpensa Airport. The 19th-century white brick building, designed by architect Giuseppe Terragni, is steps from Piazza Cavour, the historic center, and ferry docks for lake excursions.
Rooms with Lake Views
The 70 rooms include Classic Square View Rooms with twin or double beds overlooking Piazza Cavour, and Junior Suites with direct lake views. All have free Wi-Fi, satellite TV, minibars, and parquet floors. Some feature balconies or terraces. Suites accommodate up to five people and include espresso machines with Milani coffee pods.
Imbarcadero Restaurant
The onsite Imbarcadero Restaurant, open since 1892, serves Lombard dishes like cassœula (pork stew with polenta) and sautéed garganelli pasta with lake fish. Summer meals are served on the terrace. Dinner includes a glass of wine, water, and coffee. The restaurant has hosted royalty, celebrities, and Inter Milan's 1960s football team.
Como Exploration Hub
The hotel arranges guided tours of Como's architecture, including Terragni's Casa del Fascio (500 m away). Staff book ferries, electric bikes, and tickets for the historic funicular to Brunate. Nearby landmarks include Volta Temple (500 m), Civic Art Gallery (1 km), and the Aero Club, Europe's only flying boat school.
Family-Run Hospitality
Managed by the Cassani family for 110 years, the hotel offers airport transfers, private car rentals, and event tickets. Saunas are free for guests. Packages include romantic stays with lake-view rooms, Prosecco, and dinners at Imbarcadero. Past guests include actors Aldo Fabrizi and Carla Fracci, and filmmaker Luchino Visconti.
