I spend at least 7/8 nights a year in this beautiful Palace on the shore of Lugano's lake for my work.. The rooms are well appointed and spotless and the service is excellent. The building dates from the mid XIX century and has been updated quite often. You can find all the modern amenities that a buisness man is looking... More

Of course this may not be the cheapest hotel in town but I think it is well worth the price. The service is impeccable, the rooms very good, the breakfast... More

This beautiful hotel has everything a visitor could ask for. Luxurious, quiet room with spectacular lake views. Set in a very quiet area of town near public transportation. Extremely attentive staff. Delicious restaurant with superb service. Wonderful live piano music in the bar. Beautiful, lush gardens. I would recommend this hotel to anyone, it truly is delightful! More

GOOD POINTS - Excellent staff: attentive, accomodating, friendly and yet did not give the feeling at all of being 'in your face'. They really do their jobs very well. Beautiful interior which is clearly taken care of extremely well. Beautiful location with delightful view overlooking the lake. BAD POINTS - Small rooms (ours was a 'double superior'), bathroom was the... More

We were traveling around Europe with 4 friends and we were all really looking forward to our night of luxury at this hotel. Unfortunately, the shower in our room was broken and we couldn't use the it or the bath. The staff were unable to get it fixed and were not at all sympathetic that this was a major inconvenience...

There is a tennis court and nice indoor swimming pool and under ground car parking. The staff is just great, friendly and ready to help to whatever you request. If we are back to Lugano we will...
