LAC Lugano Arte e Cultura

Don’t believe the tax rates you see on the site, hotel charges double

The hotel and restaurant was extremely nice. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The view of Lake Laguna is amazing. If you’re going there to “stay”, it’s perfect. However, I’m not sure why this property shows on Expedia when searching for hotels around Lake Como. The property is about 35 miles from Como city and the last six (6) miles are treacherous. The roads are narrow and a number of switchback turns on the section of roads. The road makes traveling in the area difficult. I can’t imagine the road during winter months.

This was a fantastic hotel! Very new so everything clean and up to date. Design and lighting very nice. Bed super comfortable. Room had everything you need (fridge, kettle, good-sized towels). Appreciated having a proper hair dryer and conditioner in the bathroom. Two buses go right from the Locarno station to the hotel and since the hotel offers you a Ticino ticket, I traveled all over the area without having to pay any extra fees in transportation. Staff super friendly, helpful, and present. Lots of options for breakfast. Hotel in a quiet area, but like I said with easy transport to train station. Nice running path along the river. Fitness room had foam rollers which were amazing to loosen up muscles after long days of hiking. Would definitely stay here again!!!! Thank you!
