The Suite Bellini is the largest suite on Lake Como and arguably the most iconic. Inside, it feels like stepping into a perfectly preserved chapter of Italian design history—with a few modern surprises. There’s a neoclassical music room at the heart of the suite where Bellini once composed, now anchored by a jaw-dropping five-meter Murano glass chandelier by Barovier & Toso. Light pours in from tall windows with sweeping lake views. High ceilings, hand-painted frescoes, and ornate moldings meet rich fabrics and thoughtful textures. Nothing feels overly designed—just beautifully put together.
The idea wasn’t to modernize the space, but to bring out its soul. They used antique and family-owned pieces, mixed with custom furniture and updated finishes. Fabrics are from Rubelli and Dedar, including some designed specifically for the hotel. The bed linens are made by Beltrami from a natural birch-derived fiber called fibra di legno. And in the bathrooms, more than 20 types of Italian marble—sourced from Verona and Carrara—add quiet drama.
There’s no copy-paste design here. Every detail, from the silk taffeta curtains made in Como to the mirrored mini-bars hidden behind antique panels, has a story. The suite is luxurious, yes, but it also feels lived-in, meaningful, and warm. Like a home you never want to leave.
