Hotel Excelsior Splendide is your gateway to timeless hospitality.
For over a century, our historic palace has borne witness to the elegance that has made Bellagio the “Pearl of Lake Como”.
This page is dedicated to all the details that make your stay an experience of charm: from the guaranteed relaxation of our lakeside pool to the exclusive services designed for your utmost peace of mind.
The legacy of the Excelsior
Our palace does not merely look at history: it is part of it. For over a century, its rooms have welcomed illustrious guests, poets and travellers in search of inspiration.
The poet in a suite
Among our most celebrated guests is Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. The founder of the Futurist movement, who passed away in Bellagio in 1944, used to stay at our hotel whenever he visited Lake Como. His stay is further confirmation of the discreet, inspiring charm of our historic residence.

A large garden and a swimming pool are a rare luxury in the beating heart of Bellagio.

Set within our wonderful garden, our outdoor swimming pool is the ideal place to enjoy the sun and the view. It is available from June to September and is surrounded by sun loungers and deckchairs for moments of pure relaxation.
