In September 2022, plans were announced for a new points hotel to open on Lake Como. There’s now an exciting update, as the hotel has just opened its doors, and welcomed its first guests.

Grotesque. Why would you go to Lake Como and stay at a monstrosity like this? Given me an authentic Italian hotel or B&B any day over this.
While I would not opt for this property, I respect the fact that other different people have different tastes.
Excellent. 145 rooms means 300 less Americans to contend with for authentic Como properties.
Is this an ad?
It reads like one, all the way down to the heavily Photoshopped unnatural pictures.
Ben, thank you for updating us on this hotel. I stayed at the Edition in Bodrum and concur it was incredible. Adding this to my travel board for 2026.
EDITION Hotels are the epitome of a crass, corporatized approximation of a mid-2010s notion of minimalism and are often run with the customer service philosophy of one of those roach motels on the Berlin Turnpike.
There is no reason to assume this will be anything other than a big, gaudy disappointment.
It's the typical EDITION style. I like it, many don't.
Pools and other public spaces look great, based on these photos (which may be heavily edited/AI/etc).
Anthony is spot on. It's Marriott's version of Andaz. I don't get it but some love it.
(IMO Sofitel has the best mix of classic and modern furnishings, from room to property.)
This is a common question I get regarding booking hotel properties in scenic or otherwise luxurious destinations.
1) When something breaks at 1am, help is on the way. I booked a dream home in Montreal once and the one keypad entry to the property happened to have a battery die in the wee hours when we all came home from a night out. The host was livid.
2) Many people travel for new experiences and Lake Como and surroundings might not be very plug-and-play for them. A familiar brand could help.
3) If you think this is grotesque, there's a lot more happening in the world that you could direct your disdain toward.
I would prefer St Regis or Ritz for luxury Marriott hotels. Edition does not fit that. I have found their staff generally pretentious and at some properties they did not include breakfast or lounge access for premium members.
