A Toast to the Season: Culinary Moments at Hilton Lake Como
At Hilton Lake Como, the festive season begins with flavor, elegance, and a celebration of togetherness. Every weekend in December, Terrazza 241 becomes the vibrant heart of the hotel with the Christmas Aperitif, a glamorous moment that invites guests to indulge in signature cocktails, refined finger food, and a curated lounge music selection inspired by holiday classics.

It’s a moment to gather, connect, and savour the joy of being present.
Throughout the month, Terrazza 241 also presents a Christmas Tasting Menu, a gastronomic journey that captures the essence of the holidays through a carefully curated à la carte menu and a festive tasting experience.

Together for the Holidays: A Celebration of Family and Tradition
The holidays are a time to reconnect, create memories, and rediscover the joy of tradition, and Hilton Lake Como embraces this spirit with experiences designed to enchant guests of all ages. In the heart of the hotel’s Winter Wonderland, the Cookies Masterclass invites families to gather around the warmth of creativity and shared experience. Guided by the hotel’s pastry chefs, adults and children alike prepare and decorate festive cookies, transforming simple ingredients into sweet expressions of love and laughter. The workshop is more than a culinary activity; it’s a moment of togetherness, where generations come together to celebrate the season through colour, flavor, and imagination. The scent of cinnamon and vanilla fills the air, while laughter and holiday music create a backdrop of pure joy.
For those seeking a stylish pause in the midst of holiday bustle, the hotel reinterprets the classic tea ritual with its Fashion Afternoon Tea, a tribute to the elegance of haute couture. Served at the Taffeta Bar and in the luminous Glass Cube, this refined experience features silky-textured pastries, savoury bites inspired by tailoring details, and a curated selection of premium loose-leaf teas by La Via del Tè. It’s a sophisticated interlude where design meets indulgence, perfect for guests and visitors looking to unwind in a setting that reflects the glamor of the season.

Restore, Reflect, Reconnect: A Spa Journey by the Lake
The festive season is also a time to slow down, reflect, and restore inner balance. At Hilton Lake Como, wellness becomes a ritual of serenity and renewal, thanks to a selection of immersive treatments and spa journeys curated by Eforea Spa & Health Club. Each experience is designed to soothe the senses and reconnect guests with the natural rhythms of the lake and the season, offering a sanctuary of calm amid the sparkle of celebration.
The Lakeside Serenity Escape begins with 90 minutes of pure relaxation in the spa’s hydrotherapy pool, Finnish sauna, Turkish bath, and emotional showers. Guests are then invited to continue their journey in the rooftop infinity pool, where the horizon melts into the waters of Lake Como, offering a breathtaking sense of stillness and space. The experience concludes with a two-course lunch at Terrazza 241, where flavor and landscape meet in perfect harmony, creating a moment of holistic well-being that nourishes both body and soul. It’s a ritual that blends water, warmth, and nourishment into a seamless experience of renewal.
With Ritual by the Lake, the focus shifts to sensory regeneration.

Surrounded by natural light and panoramic views, this experience is a gentle invitation to restore harmony between body and mind, in a setting that celebrates stillness, beauty, and the quiet luxury of time well spent. The ritual is designed to slow the pace, awaken the senses, and offer a moment of introspective calm, an antidote to the rush of the season.
For those seeking deeper introspection, the Floating Meditation Bath offers a unique opportunity to disconnect and float into a meditative state.

It’s a deeply immersive sensory experience where time seems to pause, and the body finds its natural rhythm.
Finally, the Candle Ritual Touch is a seasonal massage available throughout December, where a lit candle transforms into a warm, fragrant oil blend of shea butter, coconut oil, mango butter, and essential oils. This nourishing treatment is designed to soothe the skin and relax the spirit, offering a moment of comfort and care that embodies the essence of winter wellness. The warmth of the candle, the richness of the oils, and the gentle rhythm of the massage come together in a ritual that is both grounding and uplifting, a celebration of self-care and seasonal serenity.
Hilton Lake Como’s Social Impact and Local Partnerships
As the festive season invites us to celebrate togetherness and generosity, Hilton Lake Como extends these values beyond its guests, embracing the local community through meaningful acts of care and solidarity.
For over four years, the hotel has collaborated with Caritas Como, with team members volunteering monthly to serve meals to people in need. In addition to regular donations of clothing from the hotel’s Lost & Found and hygiene products, Hilton Lake Como marked World Food Day by donating 17 kilos of meat and celebrating the partnership with a toast. On that occasion, the hotel also announced the awarding of a Hilton Action Grant, which provided $1,000 to Caritas Como, used to purchase new tableware for their dining service. For the upcoming holiday season, a special panettone raffle will be held among team members, with each €4 ticket representing the cost of a donated meal. All proceeds will go directly to Caritas.
The hotel also supports Orto della Pinguina, a therapeutic garden run by the psychiatric rehabilitation centre of Sant’Anna Hospital. Each month, Hilton Lake Como volunteers join educators and patients in caring for the garden, and symbolic trees have been planted over the years to honour the relationship. Seasonal gatherings, such as summer barbecues and winter visits to the hotel, further strengthen this bond.
In addition, Hilton Lake Como maintains a relationship with Comunità Il Sorriso in Cernobbio, a centre dedicated to caring for people with disabilities. Though less frequent, the collaboration includes moments of celebration and support, such as a summer gelato party hosted at the hotel and an Easter fundraising initiative, with proceeds from a staff lottery donated to the community.
Formerly a silk factory, Hilton Lake Como is now a modern lifestyle hotel with spectacular scenery, traditional charm, and jaw-dropping 180-degree views of the lake from its rooftop pool. There are 170 spacious rooms and suites to choose from, including Family Deluxe King Rooms, which sleep up to 4 and perfectly cater to family travelers alongside new interconnecting rooms, a pampering spa and a popular rooftop cocktail bar and restaurant.
Nightly rates at Hilton Lake Como begin at €350 per night based on double occupancy with breakfast included. For more information and to book visit https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/mxpcohi-hilton-lake-como/
