    Take the cable cart to the top of the hill - St.

    Take the cable cart to the top of the hill - St. Salvatore and if you have good weather - there awaits you and this is not an exaggeration by any means - one of the most amazing views I have ever seen in my life. Also we took a boat ride along the lake, which without any discount is about 40CHF for 2 hours ride, which is also very nice. There is a half tax discount if you have it for Switzerland. Miniature museum is nice as well. Lugano over all I think will stay in my heart :)

    2 nights would have been sufficient for us. We took a day trip to Bellinzona and visited most of the popular attractions and had time to spare. We are not shoppers or people who like to hang out next to a pool and relax. If you are that type of person, the lake is beautiful and the shopping options are abundant.

    Lugano is an exceptional peaceful small city where you can enjoy the best views of the lake. Much better place to be compared to Como the busy crowded city. We totally loved this city and all the things that offers from good food and pleasant historic buildings as well as friendly people.

    Lugano is beautiful! Walking by the lake, sitting by it in chairs provided for free to the public, taking a boat ride, riding the funicular up to the mountain to see the views, all great! City bus transportation excellent.

    We stayed in the apartment, which is two separate bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living and dining area and a full kitchen. The views are breathtaking; the staff tripped over to help us in any way they could; next door was a Grotto, and the pool area is AMAZING - this is a fabulous place to stay in Paradiso/Lugano. There is onsite parking suitable for larger cars. Great value for a family with a completely luxurious feel. Wouldn't stay anywhere else now that we have discovered it.

    All the staff were friendly and helpful, from breakfast staff to house keeping, especially the gentleman at reception who gave us recommendations about visiting Morcote. Location was great, arrived by train to Paradiso which is a 5 min walk to the hotel. Its also a short walk to the lake, where we were at one end and could walk lakeside to Lugano to the other side. Also conveniently located next to the funicular to the top of the mountain for 360 panoramic views.

    Everything was fabulous, we loved the old-world charm of the hotel, the welcome was warm, and I think they discreetly upgraded us to one of the best rooms. Breakfast was excellent, and the position of the hotel is perhaps the best in Lugano, the view from the room and the breakfast area is wonderful. I hope the family will continue to maintain this historic and delightful hotel.

    Good hotel in a great location convenient to the train station. My room was very nice, with a view of the mountains & even some of Lugano. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Room was clean. Honestly think this hotel should have a better average rating than it does. Price is pretty good for what you get, considering this is Switzerland after all.
