We stayed for 2 nights and found the hotel very historic with lots of history but very comfortable. A very nice selection for breakfast. The pool was ice cold but we were not there to swim. It was within walking distance to the boat dock, shopping and outdoor restaurants. A bit of hike with luggage from the train station after... More

The hotel was picked by the Swiss Holiday Co. for my stay during a week long conference in Lugano ! It was the perfect base for the conference- taking place at the Congress Centre and the Universita, as well as for being in the jheart of the city . Other colleagues had chosen to come back to this hotel, specifically,... More

This hotel lays to the fact that it is over 100 years old and has a heritage to accompany that. I'm truth the hotel is tired and the rooms in particular are in dire need of an upgrade. If 1965 bathroom chic is your thing then you are in luck! The location is excellent with Louis Vitton as your neighbour... More

We stayed a week in this 3 Star Swiss Hotel and were delighted. It is an absolute gem of a hotel, with lots of character and the staff to go with it. That said, if you are member of the "Hoorray Henry Brigade" there are plenty of other hotels which may suit you better. But, if you like Italian food,... More

Stayed here for 1 night on a solo mountain bike weekend trip. Room pretty small but acceptible, a good spread at breakfast, great location right in the centre of town. Ultimately, a family run place like this relies on it's staff and personal touch and they do a great job. More

Arrived by train and foolishly took a taxi. Paid £24 for a journey we could have walked by talking the funicular from the staion to the centre of the town and then 200 metre walk. Hotel is 3 star and is nicely furnished in an old fashioned way. Paid extra for a balcony room and the view was worth the... More

We enjoyed our stay at the International. We had a spacious end of the hall room that was large by European standards. Loved the sitting areas near the bar, on the outside patio and near the pool. Lots of antiques throughout the hotel. Plenty of area in front of the hotel to off load luggage and not feel rushed. Back... More

We couldn't have asked for a more excellent and romantic room overlooking the lake - a corner room with French doors and a tiny balcony - although we paid well for that privilege. Not a hotel for the budget-conscious, but we did get what we paid for, including a wonderful breakfast buffet. And not sure if rooms in other locations... More

My wife and I spent 3 nights here - well located on the lake and Via Nassa - older hotel but well-maintained - front desk very helpful, especially Luigia - pricey but in line with all Swiss prices - if we ever get back to this lovely spot we'll stay here again. More
