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.
