Located in Lugano-Paradiso, a 5-minute walk from Lake Lugano and the Monte San Salvatore Park, The View Lugano offers modern suites with free WiFi and free air conditioning, a wellness area and a restaurant. The centre of Lugano is a 5-minute drive away.

A rich breakfast is served every morning, and dinner can be enjoyed at the Michelin starred in-house à la carte restaurant.. Several shops and bars can be found within a few minutes' walking distance.

What did I not like about the property! I liked everything. EVERYTHING! my friend and I thought to rent a car for ease of movement around Lugano, but we ended up taking the train. Lo and behold, they have these smart cars in the hotel, that they lend to you FOR FREE!! and after we checked out and asked if we can borrow the car again, they said “of course you can” so polite, so accommodating. The View was insanely beautiful from our room, I didn’t want to leave the room because I wanted to stay in the comfort of my beautiful room and watch the view and get all the endorphins and happy feels from the view. The price is high but it’s totally justified. And the staff is just so courteous and amazing. I highly recommend staying at this hotel, and I hope to visit again soon.

Staff were amazing. We had a rough time earlier that day with some other accommodation and they took us last minute late at night and upgraded our room so we could cook some food we had and be comfortable. Can't tell you how much this was appreciated by us after a long day. Breakfast in the morning was very good and again the staff were so helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

    Stunning interior with the history preserved in the hallways and nice modern comfortable rooms. The restaurant is simply outstanding! Nice interior and surrounded by palmtrees, but what is really extra is the chef, brilliant food creativity! Highest recommendations!

    Location is really central 20meters from the centrum and restaurants. The room was pretty cold but was clean and for 1.night is okay. In the room you have to pay for the coffee that could be included if you pay 340 franks for 1 night in a hotel.. The breakfast was 5 Star. Personal very friendly.

    5 star resort beautifully located on a hill with a breathtaking view over "Lago die Lugano". We felt absolutely welcomed by the hotel team and the complimentary services such as tennis courst and bike rentals were more than convenient.
