Le Sereno St. Barths
Le Sereno is an intimate beachfront hotel with 39 suites and three large four-bedroom villas, continually ranked in the top five “Best Hotels in the Caribbean” by Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards. The Christian Liaigre-designed hotel introduced a new elevated island experience through timeless elegance and signature understated luxury. Le Sereno draws inspiration from the island and features a contemporary look with an understated décor allowing for relaxed and spacious accommodations. Le Sereno is located at the east end of St. Barth and stretches along 180 meters (600 feet) of sandy beach on picturesque Grand Cul-de-Sac – a marine reserve with turquoise waters on the northern side of the island, protected from the waves by a coral reef.
Le Sereno unveiled its new Coral Restoration Program upon its opening for the 2023-2024 season, aimed at rejuvenating and preserving the vibrant coral reefs surrounding the island. This pioneering initiative, in collaboration with local marine experts, enables guests to actively participate in the conservation efforts.
The resort also offers complimentary gifts designed by the renowned British fashion icon Anya Hindmarch. Guests staying in select top suites and villas can choose from two exclusive bag sizes including a large Anya Hindmarch white beach bag (also great to carry in the city) or a stylish Anya Hindmarch wash bag with the iconic St Barth landing strip print, to make the holiday memories last that little bit longer.
Il Sereno Lake Como
Acknowledged as the #1 Resort Hotel in Italy by Travel + Leisure and honored among the “Best Hotels in Italy” by Condé Nast Readers’ Choice Awards in 2023, Il Sereno Lago di Como is a small and intimate ultra-luxury hotel on the iconic shores of Lake Como, Italy. Building on the success of Le Sereno St Barths, the owners joined forces with Milan-based designer Patricia Urquiola to introduce a contemporary and more relaxed interpretation of luxury, design, and personalized service to Lake Como. The hotel features 40 suites, offering spacious and stylish accommodations just steps from the waterfront with spectacular lake views and private furnished terraces. The hotel has introduced the only swim-up suite on Lake Como, The Darsena Lago Suite. This unique addition provides guests with the extraordinary convenience of pulling up directly from their boats, elevating the exclusivity and allure of the only swim-up suite on Lake Como to new heights.
A full-service spa fits effortlessly into what was formerly the darsena, or boathouse, of the property, and features treatments from the Swiss brand Valmont. When not enjoying the 60-foot-long freshwater infinity pool suspended over the lake, guests can travel around the lake in style, in the hotel’s riva boats.
Villa Pliniana by Sereno Hotels
For guests seeking the ultimate in seclusion and privacy, Il Sereno’s sister property Villa Pliniana, a stunning sixteenth-century Italian Palazzo set only moments from the hotel, is located on an 18-acre waterfront private estate. The property features 17 luxurious bedrooms, a private boat dock, helicopter landing pad, large spa, vast gardens, and premium Sereno Hotels services. Villa Pliniana is the oldest property on the legendary lake; it features soft interiors by Patricia Urquiola and is steeped in a rich history, with visitors that included monarchs, Napoleon, Byron, Foscolo, and Gioachino Rossini, who composed his opera Tancredi in the villa itself.
