Lovely clean hotel . The staff were very helpful and polite. Even though I could have taken the free bus to the centre, I walked. The short 10min approx walk is along the lake which is lined with trees and benches. The scenery is amazing!! I would highly recommend this hotel. My room was lovely with a queen bed and balcony with beautiful views of the lake and mountain. 🤗🤗

Acquarello Swiss Quality Hotel

Hotel in Lugano City-Centre, Lugano

The Hotel Acquarello is located in the Old Town of Lugano, right at the lower terminus of the funicular connecting the centre to the main railway station.

You simply can’t beat the value for money this hotel offers. The location is unbeatable — right next to the funicular that connects directly to the Lugano main SBB station (and possibly other destinations, though I only used it for the station). There’s also a wide variety of restaurants and shops just steps from the hotel. Despite its compact size, the hotel has a great little gym, and my room — which faced the funicular — was surprisingly quiet. I slept like a baby! If you're a light sleeper, the hotel thoughtfully provides earplugs and a welcome chocolate in the room. A really nice touch: I received the Ticino Ticket by email on the day of arrival, giving me free access to most public transportation and discounts at various attractions. But what truly made my stay exceptional was the incredibly friendly and helpful staff at the front desk. Thank you all for your kindness, thoughtful touches, and excellent recommendations — you made my visit even more memorable!

The location was excellent as we were in the heart of Lugano with easy access to city center. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The A/C worked great and we were very comfortable sleeping at night. The staff was very helpful when we needed assistance.
