Palazzo Venezia occupies an enviable position on Piazza Cavour in the very heart of Como, steps from the lakefront promenade and the ferries that ply Lake Como. It offers a central, city-based alternative to the lake's grand villa hotels, crowned by a rooftop that makes the most of its location.

The dining is all about the view. Altariva Ristorante, on the rooftop, serves refined contemporary cuisine by chef Alessandro Rinaldi built on local, seasonal, zero-kilometer ingredients with stunning lake views; and the adjacent Altariva Bar pours signature cocktails as every aperitif becomes a ritual over the water.

For a central Como stay with a rooftop over the lake, Palazzo Venezia is a standout.
