We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The food was great. The staff are very helpful and friendly. We loved our room since it had a beautiful view of the city and lake. It had a kitchen with a full size fridge, but unfortunately pots, pans and utensils were not included. We highly recommend this hotel, and whenever we are in Lugano we will definitely stay here. Our kids enjoyed themselves as well. Thank you for a wonderful, and pleasant stay! Arrivederci.

The hotel is excellent, however be aware, arrival to the grounds can be confusing for parking, along with getting out of the parking lot with your ticket. I had an issue with my parking pass not working. Other than that this hotel is beautiful and the scenery is fantastic.
