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.

    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.
