If I had gone to the hotel knowing it was a 2 or 3 star I would have been satisfied. However when you are paying for a 4 star hotel you expect 4 star quality. This was not. The (only) lift was slow and old fashioned, the kind you have to manually open the door. The bar was completly empty... more

The location of this hotel is good, the view is great. The staff are also nice(especially the dark-haired girl showed me to my room, I think her name is Virginia), however, you don't expect much for the plain room if you prefer a room with sophisticated decoration (as seen from other traveller's photos). And be advissed that the rooms are... more

The du Lac and neighboring Eden are the only hotels actually on Lugano's lakefront. Our sixth floor double had commanding views of the harbor, the twinkling evening lights across the water and lightning flashing over mountains to the north. Unfortunately noise from neighboring rooms and the lakeside patio really carried. Every slamming cabinet, ringing phone, crying child and thumpa-thumpa Euro... more

What does this hotel having going for it? In the central Lugano region, it appears to be the only hotel, with a pool, that is directly on the Lake. When you are sitting at the pool, you are next to the lake. From your room balcony you are directly over the lake. The view of the lake is very beautiful... more

I was checked in right away and someone was immediately available to bring my bags up to my room. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. My room was small but comfortable and had a... more

On dreamy Lake Lugano just shy of the Italian border in lovely pristine Switzerland lies Hotel Du Lac. Blue rooms with dining outside balconies face the lake that laps almost at the base of the building. A series of beautiful parks line the water and continue toward the main city and shopping a short 15 minute walk away. The boat... more
