LUGANODANTE Boutique & Lifestyle Hotel

Old-town hotel with a dog set and walk tips at reception

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“An 88-room lifestyle hotel on Piazza Cioccaro, at the foot of the funicular from Lugano station, a short walk from Piazza della Riforma and the lake. The restaurant runs all day from breakfast to dinner. It suits a car-free city break with a small or medium dog.

Why it's in the collection

The Lugano lakefront promenade is a few minutes downhill from Piazza Cioccaro, and Parco Ciani is a walk along the shore from there. The funicular to Lugano station starts right beside the hotel.
