Bain Capital, a leading global private investment firm, and Omnam Group, a Europe-based hospitality real estate developer and investor, have announced the sale of The Lake Como EDITION to Sansiri Capital, the hospitality trophy asset fund of Sansiri Public Company Limited, a leading Thai real estate developer with over 40 years of experience. The transaction is expected to be completed in the next several weeks, subject to customary closing conditions and third-party approvals. Financial terms were not disclosed.
The property, located on the shores of Cadenabbia opposite Bellagio, was acquired by Bain Capital and Omnam Group in late 2021. An extensive redevelopment began in April 2022, transforming the historic 19th-century palazzo into The Lake Como EDITION, which opened in March 2026 as part of Marriott International's EDITION Hotels portfolio. The hotel features 148 larger rooms and suites, a new spa and wellness building, extensive food and beverage offerings, and distinctive waterfront amenities including a floating pool and beach club.
Ali Haroon, Partner and Head of Europe Real Estate for Bain Capital, stated, "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. The completion of this transaction is a significant milestone for Omnam and a testament to the strength of our development approach."
The sale reflects growing international investor interest in distinctive, experience-led European hospitality assets. For Sansiri, this acquisition marks a strategic expansion into Europe's luxury hospitality sector through the Sansiri Capital fund, strengthening its portfolio of trophy assets. Napat Thavisin, President of International Operations at Sansiri Public Company Limited and Managing Director of Sansiri Capital, commented, "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."
This transaction underscores the value created by combining real estate investment, development expertise, and leading hospitality partners to reposition a complex asset. It also marks the latest chapter in Omnam Group's expanding presence across Europe, with projects underway in Florence, Venice, Puglia, and Sicily. For the industry, this sale highlights the continued appeal of trophy hospitality assets in iconic locations and the growing cross-continental investment flows in luxury real estate.
