Lake Lugano is one of the most spectacular lakes in the world. It is jaw-droppingly beautiful and the majestic Swiss Alps surrounding the lake add to its mystical presence. It is a glacial lake on the border between Northern Italy and Southern Switzerland, thus giving the surrounding area a blend of both cultures. Lake Lugano sits in a prime position between Lake Como and Lake Maggiore in one of the most picturesque regions of the two countries. It is about 22 miles long by 2 miles wide at its longest extremities.
And one of the very best places to stay to be up close and personal with Lake Lugano is the 5-star Swiss Diamond Hotel. This romantic hotel is tucked away in the village of Morcote sitting directly on the shores of Lake Lugano. It is a hidden oasis away from the hustle and bustle of Lugano city center, but close enough to venture for shopping and strolling along the lakeside promenade.
Swiss Diamond Hotel is located at the southern end of the city of Lugano’s peninsula. It provides a lap of lakeside luxury and Alpine escapism. It’s modern exterior contrasts the classic interior with an authentic Romanesque-spa, rooms with furniture resembling that of a Renaissance-age villa, and gourmet food that mixes the best of Swiss and Italian gastronomy and wines. Plus, the 87 rooms, most with views directly overlooking Lake Lugano, is what makes this place so special. The pool and dining areas also keep the lakeside view front and center. It is a totally immersive experience on Lake Lugano when staying at Swiss Diamond Hotel.
