One of the best hotels we have stayed in our life time! From the first minute till the checking out, everything was wonderful. The borrowing of their electric Smart cars to drive in the area, the bottle of water in the room, the bottle of water to take with you during the day the service was mind blowing goor. The breakfast was incredible and the rooms were 100% clean every day. Don't hesitate: Book this hotel!

I have juste been at the restaurant. Grat place. Beautiful view of Lugano city, the incredible lake nad the mountains. Nice and quiet ambient. Very good food, really high quality.  Impecable attention. Perfect for a special ocasion. Of course, be ready to pay over 100 CHF/person. But is worthy.

Super disappointing experience at The View Spa. Booked an 80’ massage and knew very soon into the treatment that I wanted to leave.
The professional massage techniques I am familiar with use slow, deliberate strokes and target specific muscle groups. My masseuse used rapid, unfocused movements across the entire area of my back which was irritating to my skin and was not relaxing at all. I expect a trained masseuse to massage one area at a time which she was not doing.
I’m non-confrontational, especially in vulnerable situations like lying on a massage table, so I waited as long as I could stand before finally excusing myself to the restroom. I didn’t want to disturb my partner’s massage by creating a scene so I told them that I was having a reaction to the massage oil but it turns out my partner was also having an awful time and excused herself a few minutes later.
The masseuse was also doing double duty as the receptionist and spa attendant which was very weird and reinforced my belief that she is not a trained masseuse.
The sauna and steam room facilities were fine but I likely would not have booked it if I had realized it was an additional 30 CHF per person. I’ve never been to a 5 star hotel spa that doesn’t offer that access for free with a treatment. That space is booked privately for you so that’s nice. It’s also clean and in good condition probably because it doesn’t see a ton of traffic. The locker room is exceptionally small (like three people barely fit at once small) and they don’t provide the kinds of basic amenities I’m used to at spa inside a 5 star hotel (razors, lotion, tampons). Really disappointing and awkward experience.
