This is a nice hotel with a really wonderful breakfast and nice enough rooms (although the addition we were in is a bit motel-like), but any shortcomings this place has is made up for by the staff, each of whom were so friendly, helpful and outgoing, chatting with any one of them pretty much made our day. The views were... More

We went to this hotel for a few days to chill out with great expectations. It was a mixed experience. The main building of the hotel looks smashing, the newer addition looks quite drab from the outside. Because it stands next to such a grand building it would have merited a better architect. Still, surprisingly enough, the rooms have a... More

I went to this hotel with my husband on my honeymoon last May and it was truly a delightful experience. Staff friendly and arranged transport for us. Breathtaking views, and walking distance to shops and localities. Room large and very clean. Housekeeping great :) Breakfast very delicious. Will definitely come back and stay here again.

The name says it all, an imposing grand hotel in the belle époque style, on the lake front a 15 minute stroll from the centre of Lugano, exuding tradition and what passed for luxury in a bygone era. High ceilings, murano chandeliers, opulent decor, heavy drapes and gilt trimmings make this a classic grand luxe establsihment but just dont expect... More

Beautifully positioned at the lake of Lugano, benefiting from sunshine the whole day (even in January), and run in the best hotel tradition Europe used to be famous for. Interiors are between traditional and chintzy, not trendy. Rooms and lay-out are spacious and generous. The breakfast buffet was not the oh-so-awful chain of hotels standard, but truly regional, international and... More

Luxury at all levels. The heritage wing is the place to be with quaint balconies overlooking the lake. Breakfast is outstanding even if the service a bit slow. The restaurants is a fine dining place. Staff very friendly, with fluency in English. Expensive.
