While traveling with our toddler we stayed at this hotel recently while visiting Lugano. We had a corner room with balcony overlooking the lake. Great views and very comfortable room. Best features of the room were plenty of closets, drawers, door hooks, etc for storing all the items needed for traveling with a toddler. On the back terrace they have... more

I stayed at the Hotel International au Lac in early April 2009. This historic hotel sits at the end of the "luxury mile" near the Louis Vitton store just off the lake on a car free street. While there are no cars on the street immediately in front of the hotel (Via Nassa) there is significant traffic on Riva v... more

I stayed here in October of 2006. I wish the weather was better, it was cold and rainy, but the views right smack in front of the hotel are breathtaking. The lake is a few steps away. The location is great, it is on the outskirts (by 3 minutes) of the center of the cobblestone shopping district, so it is... more

Lovely old fashioned hotel on the lake in the centre of the shopping district. Very central with secure underground parking. We had a family room which was 2 double beds with a little balcony and views of the lake. Garden, terrace with games and outdoor swimming pool. Excellent staff who were really helpful. Traditional rooms and furnishings all very nicely... more

This was our first visit to the International. We were very impressed by the meals and by the friendly and efficient service. The hotel is very well situated for all the attractions on Lake Lugano and the surrounding area. more

Small lobby and lift. Rooms not much changed from 1930s! in respect of decor (which I quite like... more

Very good choice for those appreciating a classic hotel, in a good location, with recent room improvements, and large, public rooms, a terrace, and a pool. The hotel is right on the lake and not far from the train station (take the funicular down and go 3 blocks to the right. If in doubt about directions, ask someone carrying a... more

Arrived in Lugano with nowhere to stay.!! Saw this hotel on the water front and met friendly receptionist who sold us a lovely room. Hotel old fashioned but good. Very comfortable beds and fab breakfast. Brilliant location more

A very well located hotel. It was a quick walk from the train station (take the funicular down and then turn right). It's just across from the Louis Vitton store on the left and across from the Lake itself over a small square. The staff were helpful in getting me a proper adpater for my UK lead, finding a bar... more
