The entrance to the hotel is a bit strange but will make sense once you in the hotel. You enter through the back of the hotel. This is because when you in the hotel you look out onto a grassy verge then the lake takes over not a car park. The rooms look over the lake are very nice with... More

Efficient and visible management,... More

I had a very good stay here. Its spacious and beautiful. The scenery is great, and the location is very good, around a 15 minute walk from the city centre. The gym, spa and pool were all very good. Overall, I enjoyed it.

I spend at least 7/8 nights a year in this beautiful Palace on the shore of Lugano's lake for my work.. The rooms are well appointed and spotless and the service is excellent. The building dates from the mid XIX century and has been updated quite often. You can find all the modern amenities that a buisness man is looking... More

Many Swiss hotels are of high quality in all respects. I have stayed in this hotel 5 times and I have not found a single thing that I can critisize. Of course this may not be the cheapest hotel in town but I think it is well worth the price. The service is impeccable, the rooms very good, the breakfast... More

This hotel has the indefinite balance between perfect sercice, the very best food, excellent wines, great environments and a touch of cosyness. It is very hard to find anything to complain here.
