The hotel is in a perfect location--right on the lake--for exploring Lugano. It's only a short walk from the train station, so it was exceptionally convenient. The staff at the reception desk were very helpful with directions and restaurant recommendations. The breakfast is served in a beautiful room overlooking the lake with a full range of choices for breakfast. You can't go wrong booking this hotel. If we return to Lugano, the Walter will be our #1 choice.

Everything is very beautiful, raffined and leggiero :) Breakfast, details of decoration in the room, incredibly good location (beautiful shops in vicinity :) ), and a calm night inspite of its position on a square of the town's centre. I even managed to swim in the lake, not far from the hotal location. The hotel stored the luggage for free after my check out!

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.
