Top Lugano Hotel Reviews

LUGANODANTE Boutique & Lifestyle Hotel

Lugano City-Centre

10/10 Excellent

The area is the best you will find in central Lugano. There is a funicular next to the hotel taking you directly to Lugano train station. The lake is 200m walk. The service is as good as any hotel I have ever been. The staff and very friendly and helpful. They helped me plan my trip to the two main Lugano mountains. Pre-visit you get to pick what you want in your free minibar, what type of pillows, what type of mattress and a few other surprises. The building is not new but is very well...

Bijan

A modern bedroom with a large bed, a sofa, a window with curtains, and artwork on the wall.

Bigatt Hotel & Restaurant

Paradiso

10/10 Excellent

Denys

A balcony with a table set for two, overlooking a mountainous landscape.

Relais Castello di Morcote

Vico Morcote

10/10 Excellent

We loved staying in this hotel with its unique history and beautiful decor. It is a special place in a wonderful location and we had fabulous views from our balcony. The walk to Morcote took under 30 minutes with lovely views but you need to wear trainers as the path is uneven. We also enjoyed walking to the castle through the vineyards and exploring lake Lugano by bus and boat. We tended to get Uber taxi’s back up to to hotel as it was a steep climb ( cost 18CHF)

Continental Parkhotel

Lugano City-Centre

10/10 Excellent

We selected this hotel because of its proximity to the main railway station in Lugano (we were touring using a Swiss rail pass) and it proved an excellent choice. Check-in was swift and straightforward, and our room - with balcony - at the front of the hotel gave views across the lake to the mountains beyond. All the facilities in the room were in good order and the free wi-fi was easy to access. Good soundproofing meant that we were not disturbed at all by traffic on the adjacent rail...

We were greeted with complimentary drinks on arrival, and even given drinks to take with us when we left for our journey home, which was such a thoughtful gesture. The...
