"Very happy with Icon. Entrance and access were convenient and easy, location very good, with bus stops within a 2-3 minute walk, the Lido/Cassarate area only 12-15 minute walk, and downtown only a 20-minute or so walk. The building was modern, and accommodation was very nice. Murphy bed very comfy, good kitchen and a very good bathroom with a rain showerhead. Nothing but nice things to say...we really loved it! "

Top Lake Lugano Hotel Reviews

Walter au Lac

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were very helpful and friendly. Great position for everything"

Acquarello Swiss Quality Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel! It’s very conveniently located to the station, right next to the tram. The staff is extremely hospitable and helpful. Clean room and a comfortable bed."

Continental Parkhotel

10/10 Excellent

"I truly enjoyed my stay here! While at first I was a bit concerned it was on the "other" side of the station away from the town of Lugano the property had many redeeming features, like beautiful grounds and a lovely breakfast, that made it worth it. Yes there is some noise from the trains and you have to walk across the train parking lot to get there but it felt like a little oasis above Lugano and was a really pleasant stay. The pool, the bar, the restaurant were all nice and the room was very clear and cool (with AC) that was welcome for a hot September stay. Getting to and from the main part of Lugano by furnicular was a breeze. I'm glad I chose to stay here!"

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful"
