Italy, Como – Albergo Terminus

The Hotel Terminus, constructed in 1900 along the lakefront drive known as the Lungo Lario di Levante (now Lungo Lario Trieste), stands as a testament to elegance and luxury. Originally built as the thermal spa for the nearby Grand Hotel Plinius, its name, Terminus, honors its original purpose. Notably, the hotel was erected in commemoration of Como's own Alessandro Volta, inventor of the electric battery, on its centennial anniversary. In the 1940s, the Passera family took ownership, preserving the classic charm and refined opulence favoured by Como's aristocracy. Recent renovations and ongoing room enhancements have preserved the hotel's magical atmosphere, transporting guests to the heart of the Belle Époque. Immerse yourself in the Terminus experience and explore exclusive collections of silk products, fragrances, and elegant jewellery, allowing you to capture the essence of your visit and cherish it until your next return.
