Nice stay at Lugano

This place must have been really nice… three decades ago. Now, it feels dated. The style was always gordy, but now it almost feels like being in a movie from the 1960s. Everything looks and feels old, despite the grandeur of the past and the continued signs of wealth (including three covered Rolls Royces in the underground parking). In the end, it is more of a great attraction than a great accommodation, also because it is inconveniently located — given that the distance to downtown Lugano isn’t that big, but the road is incredibly hilly and steep. Only stay there if you want to be at that place (for whatever reason), but not because you need accommodation for you visit to Lugano.

The staff were great and the hotel has big rooms! The only thing is that the prices for a water (CHF 4) AND breakfast (CHF 35/person) are way expensive. You better eat somewhere else. ;)

Staff was very helpful. The rooms were clean and the pool was great. Park Hotel Principe is a sister hotel to the much more elegant Park Hotel Leopold across the street. You should definitely walk over there and enjoy the view from the bar. Bar / Bistro is still very expensive but the view is awesome.
