1. ICON H Lugano – Luxury Suites & Apartments

Viganello

"Very happy with Icon. Entrance and access were convenient and easy, location very good, with bus stops within a 2-3 minute walk, the Lido/Cassarate area only 12-15 minute walk, and downtown only a 20-minute or so walk. The building was modern, and accommodation was very nice. Murphy bed very comfy, good kitchen and a very good bathroom with a rain showerhead. Nothing but nice things to say...we really loved it! "

"For the area, I think this was probably a pretty good hotel, especially for the price. The staff was fantastic, In general, this is a nice hotel that gets the job done, you certainly won’t be worse off for staying here. My only complaint would be that it seems like it’s a plug-in play corporate Hotel trying to be a cool place for people to stay. So it didn’t have that unique charm that we get by staying with smaller places. All of that said, the staff was exceptional, and I certainly wouldn’t...

Top Viganello Hotel Reviews

Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent"

Palace Grand Hotel Varese

8/10 Good

"It was certainly a beautiful hotel. It needs to be renovated. I was told that this winter they are closing down for a massive renovation project adding a lift and bringing the hotel up to par. The staff were excellent. The pool was divine, as was the general out door area and the bar was elegant but fun. Looking forwards to trying the renovated version. If travelling to see lake Como, it is a fair distance and generally a car is needed."

Hotel Funicolare

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Funicolare. We stayed in a family room, which was absolutely massive, with plenty of space for all of us and a very comfortable stay. The views were amazing and really added to the experience. We also had dinner at the hotel one evening and breakfast during our stay. The menu was varied, with plenty of choice, and everything we had was enjoyable. All of the staff were lovely and welcoming, but Luana at reception deserves a special mention. She was incredibly kind and helpful. We had unfortunately made a mistake when booking and selected the wrong dates, but Luana was so gracious and understanding and went out of her way to help us resolve the issue. Her kindness made a stressful situation so much easier. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend Hotel Funicolare. Spacious rooms, beautiful views, good food and genuinely wonderful staff."

Would stay again & an easy drive from malpensa."
