Save on a Great Hotel! Get up to $20 off hotels with promo code USAHOTEL Book Now!

When hot weather hits, travelers tend to have beaches on their brain. And while taking a refreshing dip in the ocean may be top of mind, there’s something special about a lake vacation. With opportunities for kayaking, canoeing and lounging, lakes also make for great playgrounds in the summertime. So before you start searching for sandy stretches around the world, take a look at our list of gorgeous lakeside hotels, from Idaho to Italy. Some are bright blue oases tucked beneath towering peaks, and others are backed by idyllic towns, but all are so stunning that the ocean will give you a pass for pining over them.

Casta Diva Resort & Spa, Lake Como, Italy

Why choose between whiling away the day at the pool or the lake when you can do both at Casta Diva Resort & Spa? Located on the shores of Lake Como, in the town of Blevio, this romantic retreat stars a floating pool jutting out into the water. At night, the wood-decked oasis transforms into a stage for a spectacular sound and light show, complete with fountains choreographed to operatic arias. Speaking of operas, 19th-century opera singer Giuditta Pasta purchased one of the villas here in 1827. The theatrical aesthetic is apparent throughout the property, though, from the lavishly decorated rooms (expect gilded furnishings, fine art and panoramic views of the lake) to the dramatic color schemes in public spaces. Rounding out the splurge-worthy amenities are the subterranean spa — finished with an indoor pool, sauna and Mediterranean bath — and several fine-dining eateries. Honeymoon, anyone?

 Since 1861, Beau-Rivage Palace has been proving that tradition and innovation – just like cultural heritage and modernity – complement each other very well. This ambassador of the highest Swiss hotel tradition is a great example of the country’s typically excellent hospitality.
The walls of this majestic building could tell 1001 stories … about defining moments in history – such as the signing of pioneering treaties – about artists seeking inspiration, about royal families and famous celebrity guests. The legendary Beau-Rivage Palace guards many secrets.

Classed as one of the best hotels in Europe, it is made up of two buildings connected via the so-called La Rotonde, built in 1908. Between 2012 and 2014, the renowned interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon oversaw the renovation of all the rooms. He chose many pastel colours and introduced mirror effects so as to bring the calming atmosphere of the lake right into the heart of the 5-star hotel.

The hotel boasts 168 rooms, 26 of which are junior suites and 8 are executive suites. All rooms have been recently renovated and equipped with the latest technologies.

Staying at Beau-Rivage Palace means immersing yourself in its history, while enjoying its innovative hospitality that anticipates your every need. With their modern and elegant decorations in lush pastels, every one of the 168 rooms is expression of Pierre-Yves Rochon’s genius as an interior designer.
