Nestled in the breathtaking Italian Alps is a destination famed for its unparalleled natural beauty… and rather unique MICE properties. Yes, we’re talking about Lake Como, the idyllic location frequented by tourists and business tourists alike.
Whether you’re planning an incentive trip, a team-building event, or a conference, Lake Como presents an impressive fusion of modern facilities and timeless elegance. In this article, we’ll unveil some of the most exciting MICE venues that Lake Como has to offer ahead of M&I Europe Autumn, Lake Como 2023.
Located in its own private park in the iconic Lake Como, our host hotel offers 137 first-class guest rooms, a swimming pool, a solarium and selection of fantastic eateries. In addition to this, it houses 10 meeting spaces and a state-of-the-art auditorium for all your MICE needs. Unlike our other properties, the Sheraton serves up a distinctly modern finish in contrast to the Renaissance styles seen in much of the area.
Another of our Forum hotels, Hilton Lake Como, sits only 10 minutes from the city centre and less than five minutes from the beautiful Villa Olmo. Hilton Lake Como not only offers convenience but panoramic views of the lake too. Even better, you can enjoy the view from above in the rooftop infinity pool while sipping on a cocktail from the sky-high bar. Not bad, right?
Magnificent 1920s Art Nouveau architecture, a range of beautiful guest suites, impeccable restaurants and 10 flexible meeting rooms – what more could you want? A stunning location on the banks of Lake Como, maybe? Grand Hotel Imperiale, set in the shores of Moltrasio, has it all. It also happens to be one of our four host hotels for our Flagship Forum in Lake Como.
The Palace Hotel, situated just one minute’s walk from Lake Como, features 94 refined rooms, a fine dining restaurant offering traditional Italian food, a garden bar overlooking the lake and an advanced congress centre ideal for meetings and events. Its décor further emulates the area’s ornate renaissance furnishings and architecture while introducing modern touches. And you’ll be delighted to hear that it’s another of our host hotels for the Lake Como Forum – don’t say we don’t treat you!
Situated in the charming town of Cernobbio, Villa Erba is a magnificent 19th-century villa that offers a perfect blend of historical grandeur and modern amenities. With its vast parkland, panoramic views of the lake, and versatile event spaces, it’s become a sought-after space for MICE events. Its flexible facilities can cater to intimate groups as well as large gatherings, lending itself perfectly as our meeting venue for M&I Europe Autumn, Lake Como 2023.
Another beautiful venue located in Cernobbio, Villa d’Este is a prestigious and historic luxury hotel that was previously a 16th-century royal residence. Its lakeside location provides breathtaking views of Lake Como, and the property boasts beautiful gardens, luxurious event spaces, and state-of-the-art facilities. From intimate boardroom meetings to grand galas, Villa d’Este offers a range of spaces that can accommodate a variety of MICE requirements.
