Bain Capital and Omnam Group have announced the sale of The Lake Como EDITION hotel to Sansiri Capital, the hospitality trophy asset fund of Thai real estate developer Sansiri Public Company Limited. The transaction, expected to close within weeks, marks the culmination of a comprehensive repositioning of a historic Lake Como property into a five-star luxury destination. Financial terms were not disclosed.
The property, located in Cadenabbia on the shores of Lake Como opposite Bellagio, was acquired by Bain Capital and Omnam Group in late 2021. After an extensive redevelopment that began in April 2022, the hotel opened in March 2026 as part of Marriott International's EDITION Hotels portfolio. The transformation reduced the room count from nearly 300 to 148 larger rooms and suites, and added a new spa and wellness building, alongside extensive food and beverage and leisure offerings, including a floating pool and beach club.
Ali Haroon, Partner and Head of Europe Real Estate for Bain Capital, highlighted the strategic approach: "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. Together with Bain Capital and an exceptional group of partners, we have taken that vision from acquisition and development through to the opening of a landmark new hotel."
The 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. Napat Thavisin, President of International Operations at Sansiri and Managing Director of Sansiri Capital, stated: "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."
This transaction demonstrates the value created by combining real estate investment, development expertise and leading hospitality partners to reposition a complex asset. For Omnam Group, the sale marks the latest chapter in its expanding presence across Europe, with projects underway in Florence, Venice, Puglia and Sicily. For Sansiri, the acquisition brings one of Lake Como's newest luxury hospitality assets into its trophy-asset portfolio, further diversifying its revenue streams across major global currencies. Marriott International will continue to operate the hotel under the EDITION brand.
