2. ICON H Lugano – Luxury Suites & Apartments

Viganello

"Very happy with Icon. Entrance and access were convenient and easy, location very good, with bus stops within a 2-3 minute walk, the Lido/Cassarate area only 12-15 minute walk, and downtown only a 20-minute or so walk. The building was modern, and accommodation was very nice. Murphy bed very comfy, good kitchen and a very good bathroom with a rain showerhead. Nothing but nice things to say...we really loved it! "

A living room with a black leather sofa, a glass coffee table, and a view of a lake through a sliding glass door.

3. Breathtaking View for a Romantic Stay

Lugano

"This was one of the best rentals I have ever stayed in in my life- and I have travelled a lot! Often when you rent a place, upon arrival you discover that the photos were taken at a misleading angle, or that something about the place is not really as nice as it was spelled out to be. The opposite of that is the case with this place! It was spacious, comfortable, the view truly is breathtaking and it was spotlessly clean. Also, the owner is so nice and the communication was easy and quick,...

A modern hallway with a dark door, a wall-mounted sign reading "VISIONAPARTMENTS," and a decorative plant arrangement.

4. VISIONAPARTMENTS Lugano

Lugano City-Centre

"We left check-in a bit too late which came a faff as we were approaching the property on public transport. You need to check-in to obtain an entry code for the building and your room. Our own fault - we should have read the instructions earlier and checked-in to get the code. All good in the end though - the apartment was immaculate, well sited for access across the city and we'd certainly recommend to others and would revisit."

6. New spacious three-room apartment in Viganello (Urban 3)

Viganello

"Sehr ruhige Lage und angenehme Wohnung. Wir reisten als Familie (5 Erwachsene); Zentrum, Strand und Bahnhof sind bequem zu Fuss erreichbar. Die Wohnung war sehr sauber, modern und zweckmässig eingerichtet. Einziger kleiner Hinweis: Im kleinen Badezimmer war zeitweise ein unangenehmer Geruch (vermutlich Abfluss). Bei geschlossener Tür war dies jedoch kein Thema. Insgesamt haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können die Unterkunft klar weiterempfehlen und würden jederzeit wieder kommen."

Top Lugano Hotel Reviews

B5 Boutique Hotel Lugano

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at B5 boutique! Such a unique and inviting environment. Friendly staff, quiet and comfortable. The location was perfect for access to the train station. Would have stayed longer had our itinerary allowed!"

Hotel Federale Lugano

8/10 Good

"The Mandarin Oriental this is not. This is a clean, well run, small European hotel, not new, but well maintained, with a very friendly and astonishingly multi-lingual staff. The clientele appeared to be well-to-do couples speaking French and German. The food in the restaurant was not flaming or foaming, but the lasagne made with fresh pasta was very nice, as was my glass of red wine. The hotel is within spitting distance of both Hertz and the train station. If you have reason to stay overnight in Lugano, this seems like a logical and pleasant choice."

Hotel & Hostel Montarina

10/10 Excellent

"The Hostel was perfect. Gorgeous palm tree lined Resort feel. The Pool was amazing and refreshing. The staff was very helpful and kind. The bed was comfortable. There were a lot of beds in one room but worked out well. Except for a few visitors that were a bit noisy. The scenery out from patio/ balcony was amazing with mountain, Clouds and Palm trees. I literally wanted to Live there. Only things that could be improved is maybe put in a Coffee Pot and possible light Breakfast included. It cost me a lot to eat out and buy coffee. The vending machine was good but I'd rather have fresh coffee. Thank you, Janice"

Villa Principe Leopoldo

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous boutique hotel. All the staff were exceedingly courteous and helpful. Rooms have incredible views above Lake Lugano and it wasn’t an issue about not being located in the actual town itself, in fact it was a positive, with the hotel running a courtesy shuttle minibus down to the town and back 3 times daily. Restaurant absolutely wonderful with incredible food and wine choices. Bar offers an alternative more relaxed eating option either inside or outside on the lovely terrace. Would highly recommend."
