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! "

Top Viganello Hotel Reviews

Palace Grand Hotel Varese

10/10 Excellent

"Simply amazing. All around spectacular staff. Beautiful setting. We turned the misfortune of a flight cancellation for 2 nights in a truly unforgettable setting. We will be back!!"

Hilton Lake Como

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel overlooking lake Como, really wish we could have stayed here longer! One of our all time favorites, from the room to the terrace restaurant view (great view, meh, overpriced food). And the rooftop pool and pool area/bar were spectacular. Service and cleanliness were top notch too This would definitely be on our consideration list if we are fortunate enough to find ourselves in Como again. Not cheap but worth it!"

Il Perlo Panorama

10/10 Excellent

"First of all, the staff at Il Perlo Panorma is exceptional. They were so accommodating and helpful throughout our stay. We arrived and had booked the Basic Room. It was ok, but since it was our 20 th anniversary, we asked about upgrading the room. The Junior Suite was available. They handle our room switch while we were away, moved our luggage and the Suite was amazing. We literally didn't want to leave the room. It had a huge balcony with stunning views of Bellagio and the lake, wonderful amenities, smart lighting to make it extra cozy, robes and slippers. It was the best upgrade. For those wanting to know about the shuttle service, they dropped off and picked up regularly and were also so accommodating with fast communication. I would highly suggest staying here. The restaurant was also delicious. Thank you for everything and making our stay so enjoyable."
