This is a brand-new, very stylish hotel. I loved it! The rooms are comfortable and exciting. All staff members are helpful and very pleasant. We enjoyed chatting with them very much, but they were also very efficient at their work and made sure everything was running smoothly. Besides all the other delicacies they offer for breakfast, fresh bread is also something to remember. I also loved the cow farm that this high-end hotel restaurant window overlooks—it seemed exciting to us. We got a free Ticino card at the reception, including free public transportation and discounts at some Locarno city attractions, a nice bonus.

We had a late check in, so we had to do a self check in in this case, which was super simple as we got clear instructions. The room was super clean and comfy. Nice breakfast. Will definitely stay there in the future.

FAQs about hotels in Canton of Ticino

The Mountainous Jewel of Switzerland

The stunning, Italian-speaking region of Switzerland, Ticino is a real Alpine jewel with crystal water lakes, snow-covered mountain tops and lush greenery. With vibrant cities and a wide choice of activities, this is truly a region worth a visit.

Ticino is divided into 2 parts by the Monte Ceneri pass: the more mountainous, northern part, called Sopraceneri, and the southern Sotticeneri, concentrated around Lake Lugano. Both share a milder climate than the rest of the country, with higher temperatures and more sunshine hours.

All that and more can be enjoyed in the region's picturesque cities and towns: charming Ascona (also known as the Swiss Riviera), stunning Lugano with its great waterfront full of palm trees, boulevards and beaches, or scenic Locarno with a promenade along Lake Maggiore and a world-famous film festival.

Ticino has ideal conditions for a variety of outdoor activities, starting from hiking, cycling and mountain biking to swimming and boating. After a day outside you might choose to relax in one of the many cosy cafés and bars and enjoy a cup of delicious coffee or a glass of wine.

Whether you’re looking for wellness or just cheap hotels in Ticino, Booking.com offers a variety of over 530 accommodation types to choose from, from trendy hotels, to cosy apartments and friendly holiday homes.

The hotel was so beautiful and in a great location, right near the lake and just 20 min away from the Lugano Centro station. Take the bus line 2 and get off at stop Monte-Bre/Casserate then you will be there in no time. The building is classically beautiful and extremely clean. The hotel and restaurant staff are also incredible! The gym on the top floor is also really nice, a lot of state-of-art equipment for a full workout.

Lugano is a wonderful big town/small city.

Lugano is a wonderful big town/small city. Amazing views in all directions. So many amazing hikes available, so just soak up the energy of downtown. Hike along the lake to Gandria. You can bus (or funicular) up to Mt. Bre and hike in many directions from there. Ferry across the lake to Italy for lunch. So many possibilities!

The lake and the wonderful atmosphere in the old town. We didn’t spend long enough to properly explore more of the area but being able to step out of the hotel early morning and be surrounded by with so much natural beauty was uplifting vto say the least. We walked to the Madonna del Sasso and saw lLocarno and the lake from above. Would love to come back in summer to explore many hiking trails in the area. The unexpected start of Winterland was an added bonus.

Losone is the underrated, non-touristy part of Ascona and Locarno. It is, therefore, where many residents live because it is quiet, with great access to the Maggia river. The best tip is to walk along the river. It is very well connected by bus, so if you want an area that is safe but above all affordable, then this is the area to stay. Ascona is expensive for what is literally a 5 minute bus ride away. From Losone you can equally head to Locarno as well as Ascona, or indeed go into one of the many valleys.

Lugano is wonderful and a total paradise for cyclists! I come here all the time, I could not recommend more. Amazing routes around Lago di Lugano, Maggiore, Como… Delicious bakeries for tasty treats and refuelling whether Alpe di Neggia and Luino side or Menaggio Como side! Superb hotels and restaurants in Lugano to enjoy post-ride, also lovely chic (not sports) shopping! Absolutely recommend, but definitely prioritise Lugano Centro and lakeside, more expensive but so so worth it (Paradiso or inland horrible)

I think Locarno is going to be one of the new tourist hotspots in the next decade. This spot is beautiful. Amazing lakeside retreat on the alps - the views are not comparable to anything I have ever seen. I loved that it was less crowded than most lakeside European cities I have been to - and think this is a great stop if you are in the Como/Milan area. 10/10 recommend for some relaxation, rejuvenation, and a vacation you won't forget.
