Staying at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms in the older building had a palace-style decor, spacious, very comfortable, and spotlessly clean. The service from the staff was exceptional, being attentive, helpful, and accommodating in all aspects. The location, slightly off the center but only a short walk to Lugano Art Collection, offered a relaxing and uncrowded atmosphere. Unfortunately, the dining experience didn't meet expectations, but the overall value for money was satisfactory.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were quite spacious, but controlling the temperature was a bit challenging due to a hard-to-open balcony door. The construction site nearby was a downside, and being in a separate building wasn't ideal. The service had its highs and lows, with dismissive staff at times but overall a commitment to guest care. The location was nice, though a bit distant from meal options. Dining was good but lacked variety, especially compared to the hotel's standards. Facilities offered their basics but nothing extraordinary.

Staying at the hotel was a wonderful experience overall. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, although the bathroom was a bit lacking compared to the rest of the beautiful hotel. The service was incredible, with both professional and very friendly staff. The location is top-notch, offering stunning views of the lake and mountain, although the dining experience left something to be desired. The facilities were great, especially the new gorgeous spa available for guests.

My stay at the hotel was simply amazing. The rooms had 2 balconies with gorgeous views of the lake and mountains, and they even provided VIP amenities that were a knock-out. Opening the window to enjoy the scenery was delightful. The service was top-notch, with the staff showing us to our room and even surprising my kids with a bag of goodies, making us feel extra special. The location was superior, just a short 10-minute walk from the old center of Lugano, offering great vibes and plenty of sun. The dining experience was wonderful, overlooking the lake with delicious food. Overall, a fantastic stay with a few minor hiccups.

My stay at the hotel was an incredible experience. The rooms were spacious with a balcony offering a breath-taking view of Lake Lugano, making it absolutely comfortable. However, the service fell short of expectations at a hotel of this caliber. The location was convenient, placing me within a short walk of Lugano's key areas. The dining was a mix of amazing and underwhelming, with exquisite options but additional charges for certain dishes. The facilities, overall, were top-notch and enjoyable.

I stayed at this hotel right by the lake, and it was a mixed experience. The room I had, facing the garden and not the lake, was 'fine' as they called it, which turned out to be a cozy junior suite. The location is amazing, being just a short 10-minute walk from Lugano's old center, but the hotel itself needs some renovation.
