From Tuesday to Sunday, the hotel’s personal trainer will guide you through 45-minute exercise sessions suited to all levels of expertise. Indoor exercise is not the only option – head to the hotel’s private park for a chance to jog, stretch or relax with one of the drinks prepared by the barmen of the Kincho gazebo. Set within over 11,000 square metres, the park also offers two pools – a main pool and a heated one with hydro massage.

Upon request, the MYbike service will provide bicycles, with optional children seats and helmets, and, if necessary, will also suggest cycling route tips and dining suggestions. As for water sports lovers, the concierge will take care to book all the equipment and private lessons necessary to enjoy the sporting opportunities offered on Lake Como.

The recently renovated 137 rooms come with marble bathrooms, wooden floors, living areas and handcrafted Italian furniture. Room options include superior rooms and deluxe rooms which come with either garden or pool views.

With three restaurants and two bars, the Sheraton offers a wealth of dining options. The Kitchen restaurant, set in the middle of a private park, offers traditional cuisine expertly prepared with regional ingredients by the hotel’s executive chef and, during the warmer months, served in the outdoor terrace. Restaurant Gusto offers Italian cuisine and national wines in an intimate setting best suited to candlelit dinners. If you’re visiting during the summer months, be sure to head to the Kincho Restaurant. A wooden gazebo by the poolside, Kincho Restaurant is an informal dining place inspired by Brazil, serving grilled meats and wood-oven pizzas amid the greenery of the hotel’s park. Linger past 9.30pm on Thursdays for a chance to catch the DJ set that accompanies the happy hour. From May to September, Kincho Bar also offers snacks, salads and drinks throughout the day. Finally, Fresco Bar, is the ideal place to while away a few hours enjoying fine wines and background music in an elegant setting, surrounded by art books and newspapers.

Just a 30-minute walk from Como, the Sheraton Lake Como Hotel offers elegance and luxury within close proximity to Como’s historical centre. A five-minute walk will take you along the shore of Cernobbio, and an hour’s drive will give you the chance to enjoy the coastal sceneries of Bellaggio.
