Grand Hotel Villa Castagnola

I also did my daughter's 1st birthday party in the hotel courtyard and it was perfect.

More than the hotel, which of course was great, I think the tip here is, Switzerland has a strange corner where everyone speaks Italian. It's Italy, but it's Switzerland. There's palm trees overlooking alpine lakes. For a second you feel like you're in Rio. Get a glass of 'while Merlot' stay at the Grand Hotel Villa Castagnola, and soak up the strange and beautiful vibes of Lugano.
