Sansiri Public Company Limited, Thailand’s leading ultra-luxury real estate developer, through Sansiri Capital, a world-class strategic fund managing investments in the form of Private Equity, is enhancing its investment capabilities in the luxury hotel business with Trophy Assets, aiming to generate returns in the form of dividends and drive sustainable growth, announces the signing of a Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA)
to acquire 100% ownership of The Lake Como EDITION, an ultra-luxury 5-star hotel and new landmark on the shores of Lake Como in Italy, an Ultra-Luxury Trophy Asset with a total asset value of over 200 million euros (or more than 8,000 million baht), from leading global investment partners Bain Capital and Omnam Group. The transaction is scheduled to close with 100% ownership of the asset by the end of September 2026, with revenue ready to flow into the fund immediately.
This investment marks a Strategic Move to acquire an Ultra-Luxury Trophy Asset in a high-potential, rare prime location on Lake Como, a world-class Global Leisure Destination with severe restrictions on new development on virtually unavailable land, enabling the asset to continuously appreciate in value over the long term.
This deal delivers worthwhile returns aimed at Value Creation, as the asset has been fully renovated and is already in operation, eliminating construction and development risks, while generating high-quality cash flows, as reflected by performance during the recent High Season (July – August 2026), which saw an Occupancy Rate of over 70% and an Average Daily Rate (ADR) reaching over 1,500 euros per night.
Naphat Thaweesin, President of International Operations at Sansiri Public Company Limited and Managing Director of the Sansiri Capital Fund, revealed that “The acquisition of The Lake Como EDITION represents a major step for Sansiri in driving a New S-Curve to build financial flexibility and diversify risk within the Global Luxury Hospitality portfolio—the services and world-class luxury hotel business.
The focus is on Ultra-Luxury Trophy Assets in Gateway Cities and Global Leisure Destinations with high demand but limited supply—a Capital Allocation strategy that maximizes long-term returns for shareholders”
“Sansiri reaffirms its world-class investment expertise, expanding its Track Record and building on proven success in global markets, from SoHo, a luxury hotel in the heart of SoHo in New York City, to creating value for the Standard International brand leading to the sale of the business to Hyatt Hotels Corporation, with a combined value of 355 million US dollars. This expertise is now being extended to the investment management of The Lake Como EDITION
under Sansiri Capital, in order to diversify revenue sources into major international currencies. Furthermore, Sansiri continues to proactively pursue investment opportunities in Luxury Trophy Assets in leading tourist destinations and Key Gateway Cities around the world, to elevate Sansiri into a full-fledged Global Real Estate & Lifestyle Investment Platform”
The Lake Como EDITION is an ultra-luxury 5-star hotel and new landmark on the shores of Lake Como in Italy. Located on the waterfront in Cadenabbia, a rare lakefront address directly across from Bellagio, it is just one hour from Milan and Milan Malpensa International Airport.
Behind the hotel's contemporary character lies a restored 19th-century palazzo, conveying a heritage of architectural luxury reinterpreted in the signature style of the EDITION brand. The Lake Como EDITION opened this past March under Marriott International, redefining contemporary luxury hospitality in one of Italy's most charming and iconic destinations.
The Lake Como EDITION offers exclusive 5-star guest rooms and suites, with more than 300 rooms including 148 spacious rooms and suites, along with a new spa and wellness center, completing the luxury experience through meticulously designed dining venues, bars, and lifestyle spaces, while preserving the unique charm of its iconic waterfront facilities.
These include the Floating Pool and beach club, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of Lake Como up close, brought to life by an international creative team led by Marriott International, operator of the hotel under the EDITION brand; Neri&Hu, the world-renowned design studio behind the interiors; Chef Mauro Colagreco, the Michelin-starred chef behind the signature culinary experiences; and The Longevity Suite, a holistic health and wellness program. The project has also earned LEED Gold green building certification, underscoring a vision of luxury hotel development that seamlessly blends design, service quality, and sustainability.
