Review: Hilton Lake Como

After skiing and enjoying the hot springs in Bormio, I headed to Como to stay at the Hilton Lake Como, where I had always wanted to stay. Contents AccessCheck-in and RoomRelaxationBreakfastUseful information Access Como is very close to Milan, only 40 minutes by train, so if you are in Milan, I recommend you to visit Como. This time, I came back from a ski holiday in Bormio, so I changed trains at Monza station and went to Como San Giovanni station.

It’s late January, and although the days are getting a little longer every day, I still can’t really feel the difference.

In December, I get pretty busy with Christmas parties at work, plans to meet up with close friends one last time in the year, and Christmas shopping on top of that. For when in the area, it is also a busy time to ensure enough Hilton stays to maintain Diamond membership for next year. That’s why I decided to go to Milan for this weekend trip in December. I booked an early morning flight on Saturday from London City Airport, so I stayed at a hotel near the airport the night before. When I took an early morning flight to Geneva in July, I stayed at the DoubleTree, but this…

Review: Hilton Yokohama

I came to Hilton Yokohama, which just opened in September 2023. I was surprised that it was completely different from the Yokohama Station area that I remembered. The building itself has just been completed, and everything is brand new, making it feel like you’re visiting the city for the first time. The interior has a black and white palette, with gold decorative metal accents, creating a calm atmosphere with a sense of luxury. The interior of the hotel is unified in an Art Deco style, and the patterns on the carpets and the elegance of the lighting are captivating. Our guest room was upgraded and we were given a river…
