Simply loved this hotel because of its ambience, pool, spa area, garden, lake view, service and private location. No problem with parking. Reception was friendly and kind, different maps and hotel cards available, also some fruit and water free of charge. Hotel has shown great attention to details. Single rooms with garden view little bit noisy because of lift close... More

This is an old, charming palace that has been renovated without the intention of keeping luxury standards. Furnitures, fabrics, curtains, bathroom do not match a 4/5 stars hotel, to my opinion. Still, location, view, garden, pool make this hotel a nice place to stay. You may then argue on the price you're charged: this is Switzerland's standard fee range -sometimes... More

After four days of biking to Locarno from Zurich, my husband and I wanted a place to relax, unwind, and feel pampered. The Esplanade was everything we were hoping for! We have traveled extensively across Europe and have stayed at countless hotels during our journeys - I have always told my husband that 4/5 star hotels in Europe do not... More

we spent few days in this hotel, we can only confirm that the service is very good and friendly, the garden is great and we do enjoy the view to the lake from the morning to the evening. Dont expect the extreme first class but a hotel simply good and well managed. More
