The View Lugano

About this hotel

General information

The View Lugano crowns the hill of Paradiso, with sweeping views of the lake, the Alps and the town below. It is an intimate boutique hotel with striking contemporary architecture, and its design and service evoke a luxury cruising yacht: the 18 rooms are finished in ship’s teak, and every terrace looks out over Lake Lugano.

The Innocenti Evasioni restaurant is known for its cooking, the piano bar pours fine wines and cocktails, and the spa, with a large pool, steam rooms and a salt room, offers a broad menu of treatments. There is also a gym, a conference room for 70 that divides in two, and a 400 m² terrace facing the lake and the Alps. Butler, personal shopper, florist and concierge services are on hand, and the hotel hosts weddings.

Location

The hotel sits at the top of Paradiso hill, a 5-minute walk from Lake Lugano and 3 km from the railway station. Agno airport is 6 km away, Milan Malpensa about an hour by car and Milan Linate an hour and a half.

Spa

The spa has an 18 × 8 m indoor pool with lake views, a heated pool with hydromassage and counter-current, two hammams, two saunas, a Kneipp bath for women, a salt room lined with pink Himalayan salt, two chromotherapy showers, a gym and a relaxation area with a vitamin bar. Four thalassotherapy rooms and two treatment rooms offer a wide range of rituals using natural ingredients such as essential oils and therapeutic mud.

Sports & leisure

The gym has modern equipment and a view of the lake, and guests can join yoga sessions and cooking classes or try water sports, boat trips on the lake, mountain biking, hot-air ballooning and excursions. An 18-hole golf club lies nearby.

For children

Babysitting is available on request.
