PB hotel design editorial

Stepped into the hillside above Paradiso on Lake Lugano's northern shore, a cascade of white rendered volumes with deep-set balconies frames one of the most deliberately composed lake panoramas in Swiss hospitality. The View Lugano, which opened in 2012, was designed by the Milanese architect Marco Costanzi with interiors by the same studio, the building's terraced massing calibrated so that nearly every room captures the full sweep of the Ceresio basin and the Monte San Salvatore beyond. From the exterior at dusk, the glazed lower floors — housing the restaurant and bar — glow against the forested slope like a lantern, the horizontal banding of the facade echoing the louvered timber screens that organize the interiors behind. Those screens are the defining interior gesture: floor-to-ceiling walnut slatted partitions divide sleeping from living areas while allowing light and the lake view to move through the space uninterrupted. Wide-plank oak floors, cove-lit ceiling recesses, and low platform beds in white linen establish a register closer to a well-appointed private residence than a conventional hotel room. The restaurant carries the same warmth — teak decking underfoot, a sculpted wave ceiling in white plaster, round tables in walnut set with Murano glassware — while the outdoor terrace, shaded by a retractable louvered pergola, positions Flos globe lanterns among director's chairs to catch the full afternoon light off the water.

"Loved the hotel and the service! Smaller sized (SLH member) yet the View was amazing, even though in February, the staff from front desk to restaurant to spa was very accommodating. Giulia Giacommo, and really everyone at breakfast, - fantastic service. I am biased to say the best spa person was Milena, - knowledgeable, professional and exceptional service going beyond extra miles! I hope to be back at warmer times, thank you!!"

"We spent three nights at The View Lugano at the end of our two-week Europe trip, and it was truly one of the most spectacular hotels I’ve ever stayed in—if not the most spectacular. The hotel is perfectly named: it sits high on a hill overlooking the stunning Lake Lugano, and the moment we stepped onto our balcony at sunset, the view literally brought my wife to tears. The town itself is charming, intimate, and beautifully quaint—much smaller and more peaceful than Lake Como, which we had also considered for this part of our trip. Choosing Lugano was absolutely the right call. Everything at The View Lugano was exceptional. Breakfast was outstanding, the on-site restaurant was fantastic, and the hotel offers a Michelin-starred tasting-menu experience that was unforgettable. Another amazing touch: guests can use complimentary electric cars and smart cars to explore the town. We used them multiple times for dinners and shopping trips, and it made getting around both fun and convenient. The entire property has an incredibly romantic atmosphere, making it the perfect way to end our travels across several countries. We left feeling relaxed, connected, and already dreaming of coming back. I cannot recommend The View Lugano highly enough."

"I had a wonderful experience at The View Lugano Spa with Monica. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing from the start. My massage was fantastic—she has a great technique that melts away tension while keeping you completely comfortable. The facial afterward was just as amazing, with high-quality products that left my skin glowing. Monica is skilled, attentive, and makes the whole experience feel personalized. Highly recommend if you’re visiting Lugano!"
