It was this vista that inspired Zoltan Varro in his redesign of the historic Grand Hotel Milano in the town. The interior designer found his muse in the morning mist that often blankets the lake \u2013 a sight that evoked a childhood tale of the gods of Mount Olympus looking down from the clouds. This moment transformed a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/hotel-architecture-and-design\/\">hotel destination<\/a><\/strong> steeped in tradition into something mythical, a vision now realized in the newly opened Nuvole Garden Hotel in Brunate, Italy.<\/p>\n<p>the Sole Luxury Rooms are facing the lake with door to ceiling windows allowing for full exposure to the sky, mountains, and water below.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">design celebrates heritage with magical twist<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/varrodesign.hu\/\">Zoltan Varro<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s work was to restore the beloved art nouveau treasure, which had fallen into disrepair, with a grand plan to create a five-star destination. He ingeniously wove motifs from his misty lake inspiration into the hotel\u2019s distinct spaces. The fine-dining Sole Gourmet Restaurant on the top floor pays homage to the sun, with ceilings that can open to the sky and a central screen that lights up in the evenings, radiating warmth through its subdued golden flourishes. Conversely, the ground-floor BLU restaurant plunges guests into the depths of Lake Como itself. Here, blue and teal hues, a custom carpet mimicking the seafloor, and bubble-style lighting create the feeling of dining underwater with mermaids and fish.<\/p>\n<p>in the Sole Gourmet Restaurant, Zoltan Varro wanted to worship the sun, which is best achieved during the warmer months where the ceilings can be opened up to bask in the sunlight<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The hotel\u2019s restoration also celebrates its rich Belle \u00c9poque heritage. The adjacent Bar Negroni, with its wood-paneled ceiling and ornate wall sconces, evokes the grandeur of an Edwardian-era ocean liner. Outside, Varro celebrates the <em>la\u00a0dolce vita<\/em> lifestyle with a fantastical twist. The courtyard, overlooking the lake, is reimagined as an elegant dining room exposed to the elements \u2013 complete with a grand chandelier, fireplace, and handmade mosaic floor. The common interior spaces of the lobby and reception resemble an indoor garden, with floral and hedge-like textures and peacock-patterned chairs, as if nature has crept inside and taken hold.<\/p>\n<p>guests can dine in a scene seemingly right out of the Mad Hatter\u2019s tea party, as the courtyard functions as a grand dining hall exposed to the elements<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Varro\u2019s custom design extends to the 80 guest rooms, each telling a part of the story. Rooms facing the lake share the \u2018Sole\u2019 theme, with floor-to-ceiling windows, golden accents, and a custom Como-focused print on the curtains and headboards, giving guests the feeling of floating among the clouds. The \u2018Cabana\u2019 rooms and suites, inspired by Italian poolside cabanas, offer a cozier feel with flowing curtains and a warm, glowing ambiance. From worshiping sun deities to dining with mermaids, every aspect of the Nuvole Garden Hotel originates from Varro\u2019s vision of the magical Lake Como mists, creating a hotel that celebrates its traditional grandeur with a fantastical, extraordinary aesthetic.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>golden touches and warming colors blend into the rooms, while a custom Como-focused print dresses the curtains, the beds\u2019 headboards, and other furnishings.<\/p>\n<p>in the Grand Salon unique floral or hedge-like textures cover the walls and furniture, while bold peacock-patterned chairs wear their Como Gardens reference with pride.<\/p>\n<p>the reception of the enchanted Nuvole Garden hotel<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the lobby resembles indoor gardens with touches of Sleeping Beauty, where nature has creeped inside and taken hold of the space<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>the courtyard overlooking the lake resembles an elegant dining room, with its own chandelier, fireplace, and a handmade mosaic floor fit for the grand villas of the region<\/p>\n<p>at BLU Restaurant, bubble-inspired lights shimmer like air rising from the lakebed, enhancing the underwater illusion with a playful yet refined glow that mirrors the depths of Lake Como<\/p>\n<p>at the center of Sole Gourmet Restaurant, a grand screen is emboldened with the Sole motif, lighting up in the evenings to draw all attention to this altar of the sun<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the custom design extends to the 80 guest rooms, each telling a part of the story<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>contemporary wooden design of the Spa<\/p>\n<p>the Spa\u2019s sophisticated wooden aesthetic<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong>\u00a0Nuvole Garden<br \/>\n<strong>interior designer:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/varrodesign.hu\/\">Zoltan Varro<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/varrodesign\/\">@varrodesign<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>landscape and garden design:<\/strong> Zoltan Varro Architect \/ <strong>original:<\/strong> Achille Manfredini (1911)<\/p>\n<p><strong>architecture (restoration):<\/strong> Domenico Garritano, Studio Ingegneria<\/p>\n<p><strong>developer:<\/strong> Italiana Hotels &amp; Resorts<\/p>\n<p><strong>project completion:<\/strong> 2025<\/p>\n<p><strong>project size:<\/strong> 6000 m2<\/p>\n<p><strong>photos:<\/strong> Gyorgy Darabos<\/p>\n<p><strong>location:<\/strong> Brunate, Lake Como, Italy<\/p>\n<p><strong>rooms:<\/strong> 80 guest rooms \/ suites<\/p>\n<p><strong>dining:<\/strong> Sole Gourmet Restaurant, BLU Restaurant, Bar Negroni<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>designboom has received this project from our\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers-submit\"><em>DIY submissions<\/em><\/a><em>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers\/\"><em>here.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers\/zoltan-varro-nuvole-garden-hotel-redesign-brunate-lake-como-italy-08-13-2025\/\">lake como\u2019s magical mists inspire zoltan varro\u2019s fantastical hotel redesign<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>zoltan varro\u2019s vision for nuvole garden hotel \u00a0 The tranquil town of Brunate, known as the Balcony of the Alps, offers a panoramic view of Italy\u2019s majestic Lake Como.
