At THE VIEW Lugano, a hint of what awaits visitors can be found in the name; sweeping views of Lake Lugano, a hilltop haven, and the height of luxurious living.
Since opening in 1997, THE VIEW Lugano has delivered the sensation of being ensconced within a luxury yacht in the middle of a city. The hotel sits in a position that’s evocative of the Mediterranean, nestled high above Lake Lugano in the prestigious Paradiso Hill neighborhood. The city’s airport is a short 15 minute drive from the hotel, while further connections are available at Milan Malpensa airport in Italy, just 90 minutes away.
This boutique gem offers an intimate guest experience with a roster of just 18 spacious guest suites to choose from. Each opens to a picture-perfect view over the lake and city, coupled with plush interiors that mingle rich teak, chrome and glass fixtures. Convenient amenities include air conditioning, Wi-Fi Internet in each suite, and the option of 24 hour room service.
The cuisine at THE VIEW Restaurant is innovative and delicious, arriving paired with excellent service and a beautiful view. Chef Mauro Grandi’s dishes are Mediterranean in origin, with a passing nod to flavors from the Orient along the way. There’s also the elegant Bar at The VIEW, a venue that mingles an eclectic selection of cocktails with an extensive regional wine list. From Tuesday to Sunday, these drinks are served to the sound of a pianist tinkling the ivories.
Boasting a tailor made, eclectic approach to beauty and wellness, The Spa at THE VIEW has created a deeply personal spa experience for body and mind. The list of facilities includes hammams, saunas, a Kneipp Circuit, salt room, Thalassotherapy baths, and dedicated massage treatments.
