Bain Capital and Omnam Group have announced the sale of The Lake Como EDITION to Sansiri Capital, the hospitality trophy asset fund of Sansiri Public Company Limited. The transaction, expected to close in the coming weeks, marks the culmination of a comprehensive repositioning of a historic Lake Como property into a five-star luxury hotel under the EDITION brand. Financial terms were not disclosed.
The property, located in Cadenabbia on the shores of Lake Como opposite Bellagio, was acquired in late 2021 with vacant possession. Redevelopment began in April 2022, transforming the 19th-century palazzo into a contemporary luxury destination. The hotel opened in March 2026, just under six months ago, and is part of Marriott International's EDITION Hotels portfolio. The redevelopment reduced the room count from nearly 300 to 148 larger rooms and suites, and added a new spa and wellness building, extensive food and beverage outlets, and leisure amenities including a floating pool and beach club.
This sale reflects growing international investor interest in distinctive, experience-led European hospitality assets and marks Sansiri's strategic expansion into Europe's luxury hospitality sector through the Sansiri Capital fund. For Bain Capital and Omnam Group, the transaction demonstrates the value created by combining real estate investment, development expertise, and leading hospitality partners to reposition a complex asset.
Ali Haroon, Partner and Head of Europe Real Estate at Bain Capital, said: "Lake Como is a strong example of how we approach real estate investing in Europe. We focus on sectors supported by long-term structural demand and opportunities where our capital, local relationships and hands-on capabilities can fundamentally transform an asset. Together with Omnam, we have taken a highly underinvested property in an irreplaceable location and created a contemporary luxury destination for the international market."
David Zisser, CEO and Founder of Omnam Group, added: "The Lake Como EDITION has been an ambitious undertaking from the outset. Our vision was to take a remarkable historic property in one of the world's most iconic destinations and give it new relevance through architecture, design and hospitality, while remaining deeply connected to the character of Lake Como. The completion of this transaction is a significant milestone for Omnam and a testament to the strength of our development approach."
The acquisition is a significant international investment for Sansiri, bringing one of Lake Como's newest luxury hospitality assets into its trophy-asset portfolio through Sansiri Capital. Napat Thavisin, President of International Operations at Sansiri and Managing Director of Sansiri Capital, commented: "The acquisition of The Lake Como EDITION marks a significant milestone in advancing Sansiri's New S-Curve strategy. It strengthens our financial resilience and diversifies risk across our global hospitality portfolio. We remain focused on ultra-luxury trophy assets in gateway cities and high-demand leisure destinations—markets characterised by robust demand and inherently constrained supply."
The sale also highlights Omnam Group's expanding presence across Europe, with an ambitious pipeline of projects in Florence, Venice, Puglia, and Sicily. For Sansiri, this acquisition builds on its track record in global markets, including The Manner SoHo in New York and its previous ownership of Standard International. The hotel will continue to be operated by Marriott International under the EDITION brand.
