Had a great wellness center. Very lovely receptionist who was very helpful. Breakfast was amazing with strong coffee for a good pick-me-up! Nothing but good things to say. Decor was glam but dated.
Excellent pool area beautiful view and a great walk into town - not that far but a steep hike walking back which we enjoyed - you could opt for the bus which is free if you stay more than 2 nights but we didn’t need it and walked in and out of town twice per day. It was a lovely room, view, pool, breakfast with great parking - very lovely and we would stay again!
We stayed for one night as a family of three and were very happy to receive a free upgrade to a larger room upon arrival. Lovely and helpful staff, nice pools and good breakfast buffet, would definitely recommend for a family stay in Lugano.
I got the room with the amazing view of the mountains, lakes and ponds! It was a hard room floor. Beds were comfortable. Room was clean Temperature was perfect to sleep throughout the night.
My only recommendation is changing if the carpet in the passage and some floors and keeping the patios clean.
setting was stunning with view over pool overlooking lake lugano in the distance. there are construction cranes in distance throughout city but nothing to do with hotel. on site restaurants were very good, wait staff so helpful and kind. pool beautiful. 5 min walk to funicolare to town and trainstation.
Excellent place to stay, comfortable bed and very friendly and helpful staff. Great location only a short bus ride to the railway station and into the centre. Ticino ticket is available for free travel in the whole area!
Brilliant hotel!
Thanks,
Jimmy and Gwyneth

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The resort as a whole was excellent. We loved the restaurants and the pool. The staff was wonderful! Very clean! We surged for a penthouse to enjoy the stars with the ceiling shades that retract but sadly less than half of them worked. Other than that it’s was a great stay!
Great breakfast. Marcos in reception was exceptional, great customer service, nice person. Beautiful hotel, great location. I will come back again, my family loved it. Amazing views.
The views of Lake Lugano from this property are amazing.

Disliked: Staff & service
This hotel is on the tired side. Carpeting and exterior are in need of updates. We had a suite with a lake view that was very nice, but please note this hotel caters to large tour groups. Rooms are fairly noisy. Bed and pillows were comfortable.
The staff at the front desk were not helpful at all with the exception of Roxana. She was very pleasant and helpful.
The Ticino bus pass was great to get to the station and city center. You cannot use the shuttle for transfers unless booked in advance days before. Staff in the restaurant were overall pleasant. Breakfast choices nothing special at all.
It was annoying that every afternoon someone comes to your room to check on the mini bar usage.
The hotel was difficult to navigate as it’s large and lacks any real signage to find your way. No one showed us to our room that was multiple buildings and elevators away. When asking for directions at the Med Spa, the women abruptly said, “No.” She then made faces towards me and stopped when my husband came up behind me. Rather childish and unkind. Clearly I had interrupted her day.
There are probably better options for hotels in the area. We would not stay there again. View from our room was gorgeous, we’ll give them that.
I was incredibly surprised to find such a gem in Lugano. ALLthe staff (front desk, restaurant, gym, spa) were warm and welcoming and most important competent. The rooms are sparse but super clean and functional apartments. I enjoyed the spa services and products as well as the gym classes. The restaurant was the biggest surprise- should have a Michelin star. Excellent food, presentation and knowledgable and attentive staff. The view is gorgeous- i fact we saw an end to end rainbow one day after a storm from mountain to lake. Sorta sums up the place. Very intimate and special.
