Friendly staff, beautiful location, lovely property. Restaurants were amazing. It was a much further (and arduous !) walk to city center than I expected, the spa treatments were mediocre and we had some kind of allergen issue in our room which we were somewhat compensated for

We LOVED our stay here. Our room included wellness and breakfast. The Wellness area offered an indoor pool and hot tub as well as mixed gender steam room. The sauna, relaxation area, cold plunge and change rooms are gender specific. We celebrated our engagement here and they upgraded us to a beautiful premium suite with a balcony. The breakfast was delicious with many different pastries, fruit, yogurt, meats, and cheeses. The property grounds were gorgeous - I recommend walking around to check out the view. We wished we’d booked another night!

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The food was great. The staff are very helpful and friendly. We loved our room since it had a beautiful view of the city and lake. It had a kitchen with a full size fridge, but unfortunately pots, pans and utensils were not included. We highly recommend this hotel, and whenever we are in Lugano we will definitely stay here. Our kids enjoyed themselves as well. Thank you for a wonderful, and pleasant stay! Arrivederci.

The hotel is excellent, however be aware, arrival to the grounds can be confusing for parking, along with getting out of the parking lot with your ticket. I had an issue with my parking pass not working. Other than that this hotel is beautiful and the scenery is fantastic.
