More about our hotel’s sustainability journey

Doing the Right Thing for Our Planet

For a complete retreat into nature, our resort’s botanical garden is a sanctuary of peace. Harbouring over 50 species of plants, trees, and flowers, including rhododendrons, camellias, and magnolias, it exudes tranquillity, relaxation, and privacy. The garden’s layout and materials are thoughtfully designed to recreate its original beauty, with winding walkways and lanes that embody the signature elements of Italian Neoclassical gardens.

Doing the Right Thing for Our Guests

At Mandarin Oriental, Lago di Como we fully support Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group's commitment to finding viable environmentally friendly alternatives, which is why the resort offers Tesla X electric cars and Volkswagen ID. BUZZ vans. These vehicles are available for short-distance transfers, exploring nearby towns and villages, or for quick trips to Como City. Experience our custom-designed ID. BUZZ, personalised in the colours of our hotel, as you explore the beautiful city of Como.

Doing the Right Thing for Our Community

At Mandarin Oriental, Lago di Como, we focus on innovative projects with environmental and social impact, championing circular economies and supporting local communities. One such initiative is Birra Piova, a beer made from unsold bread sourced from local bakeries and restaurants—a project by Conf Commercio to reduce food waste. We proudly contribute by donating leftover bread from our hotel to help create this sustainable brew.
