Received an upgrade to a corner suite which was not only large but had spectacular lake views. Felt like royalty. Dined at Le Relais where both the food and service were excellent. The hotel is adjacent to a funicular and an easy walk to town. The staff are wonderful. A truly fantastic stay. Highly recommended! ##### stephen Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### tuluh May 24, 2025 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Great hotel and very courteous and friendly staff ##### tuluh Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Barbara Kennedy Sep 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Noisy Room location While the location and the service/staff are amazing, they gave us a room on first floor over the restaurant where the piano/mouse was annoying and the pets friendliness was also loud due to a dog constantly barking. ##### Barbara Kennedy Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Monica Jun 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Elegant and old school classy but at the same time relaxed and friendly.

The suites are grand and pay a homage to its time period. The views are unbelievable and the staff is so polite and accommodating. I do wish they would have changed up the menu each morning for breakfast and each night for dinner. Great spot to travel North and South to Lake Como. A wonderful time was had on our girls trip! ##### Jacqueline Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Aug 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I was blown away by this property.

Very beautiful and cozy hotel! Our room had a great view to the garden and Lugano lake. Spacious room, which was very clean and pleasant, it had a nice balcony. There was an excellent pianist playing in the lounge whole evening on Saturday night. Hotel is situated by only 20 minutes walk from the city center and there was a free bus connection frequently going to city center. We recommend the hotel and would like to visited soon again. ##### Kirsi Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Camp Netanya Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Mabini-Hotels-Camp-Netanya-Resort-Spa.h15967910.Hotel-Information) > > [OMO Kansai Airport by Hoshino Resorts](https://www.expedia.ca/Osaka-Hotels-OMO-Kansai-Airport-By-Hoshino-Resorts.h90993494.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Kingston](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingston-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d6057821-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Moxy Halifax Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Moxy-Halifax-Downtown.h91626033.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Toronto.h14358.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Rogers Arena](https://www.expedia.ca/Rogers-Arena-Hotels.0-l6072231-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Sorrento](https://www.expedia.ca/Sorrento-Hotels.d9716.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Turks and Caicos](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Turks-And-Caicos-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d184-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Kandy](https://www.expedia.ca/Kandy-Hotels.d178045.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Niagara-Falls.h1403139.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Grande Prairie](https://www.expedia.ca/Grande-Prairie-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-By-Hilton-Grande-Prairie.h16376625.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Regina (YQR) to Richmond (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqr/yvr/regina-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Comox (YQQ) to Edmonton International Airport (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqq/yeg/comox-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from region of waterloo intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/ykf/flights-from-region-of-waterloo-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Edmonton International Airport (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yeg/toronto-to-edmonton) > > [Air Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Air-Canada-Flights.cAC.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Detroit (DTW) to Green Bay (GRB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dtw/grb/detroit-to-green-bay) > > [Flights from Kelowna (YLW) to Tampa (TPA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ylw/tpa/kelowna-to-tampa) > > [Flights from Bangor (BGR) to Honolulu (HNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bgr/hnl/bangor-to-honolulu) ### Cars > [Enterprise Car Rentals In Port Hawkesbury](https://www.expedia.ca/Enterprise-Car-Rentals-In-Port-Hawkesbury.d10598-c15.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Activities ### Packages > [Scotiabank Arena](https://www.expedia.ca/Scotiabank-Arena-Downtown-Toronto.d6072449.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Rogers Centre Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Rogers-Centre-Ottawa-Downtown-Ottawa.d6153122.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit Patras](https://www.expedia.ca/Patras.dx7503)
