Located 800 metres from the Lugano Exhibition Centre and 1 km from the lake, Hotel City Lugano is a modern, non-smoking building with stylish and air-conditioned rooms. Free WiFi is available in all areas, and underground parking is available for small/medium cars on site for an extra charge.

We were highly inspired to see how Katia has served the visitors at the breakfast, asking for coffee, smiling, greeting and she knew where we come from and at which room we stay. If I visit Lugano again, I will definately stay at Hotel City Lugano and want to see her again. Thank you Katia and Hotel City Lugano.

This family-owned hotel is centrally located just a short walk from Lugano town centre and its breathtaking lakeshore, and the famous Piazza Riforma with its many sidewalk cafés.

Located in a quiet spot halfway up a hill, the hotel is just a short 3-minute walk from the train station, and provides quiet rooms in a green corner of the city. Many rooms have a balcony view of Monte Bré, or overlook the town. The hotel is the perfect choice for both leisure and business travellers. Its restaurant offers elegant simplicity, and the bar is ideal for a relaxing evening drink. The hotel also features limited meeting facilities.

Excellent location (just a short walk down the hill from the train station), wonderful staff, delicious breakfast! We enjoyed our stay very much! The beds were comfortable, there was plenty of food to chose from during breakfast and we received answers to all the questions we had. The hotel has its own history which we found very interesting to see in all the pictures that were up on the walls.

    The picture of the room matched with the photo which were published in the website. The view is gorgeous and breathtaking. The room is designed to enjoy Lugano to the fullest. The hotel is also located very close to the railway station and funicular to go up to the mountain. The hotel also has brochures to check what great activities are around with descriptions. The restaurant had delicious food. The breakfast was also satisfying.
