for Lugano

It is very difficult to advise someone where to stay as each family's requirements differ considerably. We have stayed at both although not recently at the International.

Both hotels are individualy owned and are not part of a chain. Their websites give a good picture of what you can expect from each and what they have to offer. All bedrooms at the Walter have a lake view whereas there are only a limited number with a part view at the International. The International does have a swimming pool and garden and its own restaurant and both offer internet access.

I'm afraid you will have to make the choice.

We have stayed on a number of occassions at the bellvue au Lac.

It is a member of Best wester, but family run.

Very clean and friendly.

directly across from lake and a nice walk to Centre.

that was with our two kids and my wives parents

Clean comfortable and child friendly.

Also, not sure if you going in the Summer but they have an outdoor swimming pool.

one step up, we have stayed at Lido seegarten.

this Hotel has had mixed reviews, but we always found it friendly and clean, but Rooms a bit tired.

Directly on the lake, kids love it. Expensive restaurant but fabulous choice on Menu to suit all tastes moods and most especially for kids.

Another step up, villa Castagnolia, 5 star , could not recommend it highly enough. great lake views from rooms { circa 500 metres distance}

Hope it helps. Have not stayed in the two you mention, though I know both to pass by.
