01 / OVERVIEW

A closer look at Grand Hotel Villa Castagnola

This beautifully decorated Hotel is located in Lugano and enjoys a privileged position inside a large sub-tropical park, with a beautiful view towards the lake. The elegant villa, built in 1880, combines the charm of a bygone era with the comfort and the care of a modern luxury hotel. The complex, originally built for the Von Ritter, a noble Russian family, was bought, in 1885, by a young Swiss couple of the Schnyder von Wartensee family. They transformed it into a hotel and the family owned it up to 1982, when it was sold to a local family. A total redecoration was then started by the new owners to return the building to its original beauty and provide the highest standards of comfort. The menu stands out for sweetwater and sea food specialties, light and innovative Mediterranean cuisine in cosy and informal settings. There are conference and meetings rooms. A wellness area with indoor pool and gym. Every detail is taken care of, to make guests feel welcomed into this “private home”. The hotel offers rooms, of exceptional charm, individually styled, with stunning park and/or lake views, balcony, terrace or loggia.
