Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A historic palace hotel on the Lugano lakefront, part of the Roberto Naldi Collection and a Leading Hotels of the World member, with the I Due Sud and La Veranda restaurants and the Belle Époque Bar. It hands guests with dogs its own booklet, Splendide Pets, written from the dog's point of view. It suits a classic city break where you walk straight out onto the lake promenade.

Why it's in the collection

The hotel's own booklet sends you along the lakefront flowerbeds to Via Nassa in about 10 minutes, and on to Parco Ciani in about 30. Parco Tassino, with the city's fenced off-lead dog park, is up the hill above the station.

Dogs can join you throughout the hotel, including the bars. They don't go into the restaurants, the breakfast area or the spa. A dog can stay in the room alone as long as you hang the card on the door, and a dog sitter can be booked.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
