Booked a 2 nite package in a Villa Junior Suite (with lake view), which includes a use of a Maserati for a day. I've previously stayed here 5 years ago & was blown away by the view, so thought I'd come back with my wife this time. What a disappointment. In isolation, room was fairly good (with free wifi) except... More

We used to stay and watch the firework here every 1st of August when Switzerland celebrates its national day - the terrace has a spectacular view over the lake and mountain which has a "wow" effect when one enters the lobby area and embraced by the beautiful scenery. Then we had to stop coming because the hotel was closed for... More

We initially made a reservation through an online booking system, and somehow received their best lake view suite for the price of a non-view single. Realizing the situation and not wanting to travel so far and show up being told they would not honor it, I called ahead. They reviewed the reservation, realized the mistake and asked to call back....

We were there mid march and were truly disappointed. Te reservation already was not simple, because we found a much lower price on hotels.com and claimed a price match on the "lower price guaranteed" hotel website, and that was not simple. Later, we found a ever lower price, but didn't want to start the process again. The hotel is in... More

If you want a retreat from Lugano, this is a lovely choice high on a hill. The small, 37-room hotel has beautiful, spacious modern rooms. We were only there briefly but I thought the restaurant was fantastic (varieties of risotto are a specialty and the service was incredible). The only drawback is that you will need to take a taxi...

I was advised to stay in this Hotel by a friend when visiting Lugano. The ambience was stunning, the paintings on the walls were just to impressive, even the wash room doors were exotically painted, the service was impeccable room very well maintained and attention and care of guests just very very good.

Staff was very friendly and the hotel is beautiful. Was only there one night but would like to come back soon. Stayed in the residence portion and the room was very big even by US standards. For Europe it was huge with a step down from the bedroom area into a sunken living room and nice deck.
