Excellent stay. Gorgeous property, service is world class. Made our entire stay - highly recommend. I looked at several other luxury hotels in Lugano and so glad I chose this one.

The property view and the amenities were spectacular. The rooms were spacious and luxurious. The view from room O was delightful at all times of the day. It did not matter that the property was a little far away from Lugano, the shuttle took us into the city so that we could dine and shop. Would love to stay there again.

Amazing - wish we could have stayed here longer

I was delighted with this property. The room was spacious, the breakfast amazing and the staff was suburb. It was one of the nicest hotels we have stayed at and I am picky.
