A Stunning Transformation on the Water

The 19th-century palazzo sits proudly on the Cadenabbia shoreline right across from Bellagio, roughly an hour away from bustling Milan. While exploring northern Italy, travelers often look toward places like Portofino or Cinque Terre for waterfront luxury, but Lake Como remains an unmatched jewel.

The sellers originally acquired this historical site in late 2021 before launching massive redevelopment efforts in April 2022. Following comprehensive architectural work, the hotel opened under Marriott International’s EDITION flag in March 2026, meaning it operated under this brand for less than six months before the ownership change.

Luxury Redefined Through Design

Extensive renovations drastically reimagined the property’s footprint to prioritize ultimate guest comfort and spaciousness. The layout conversion reduced the previous capacity from roughly 300 original rooms down to just 148 larger, elegantly appointed guest suites.

Omnam Group views this high-profile transaction as a crucial milestone within its broader European strategy. The overarching goal remains focused on repositioning historic assets into premier modern luxury destinations.
