Albergo Terminus was born out of the complete restructuring of an early 19th Century building with its composite liberty style and its calm and comfortable taste typical of a certain Lombard aristocracy. The careful renovation, which preserved the architectural characteristics of the historical building, was accompanied by absolutely radical reforms in the structures and services in order to provide guests with the highest level of comfort and safety.
Nowadays the Terminus Hotel is a landmark for the more refined clientele who can enjoy the hotel’s splendid position on the shores of Lake Como, a stone’s throw from the Cathedral and the magnificent Cavour Square right in the heart of Como. Entering the hotel the vast hall which is found on the upper floor is very fascinating. The open gallery that envelops three sides of this great hall represents the architectural character of the hotel at its best.
In the intact period halls every detail preserves the original image: the banisters and the cast iron lamps, the delicate stucco work on the walls, the pleasant Lombard paintings of the 19th Century, as well as the heavy doors which are based on the original designs and the hand-painted plates found on every floor. From the hall there is access to the restaurant, which is located on the same floor, as well as to some of the bedrooms. The hall also has a Wi-Fi Internet connection. All of these details make the Hotel Terminus a charming hotel where peace and comfort are an integral part of the guests’ stay.
