Grand Hotel Villa Castagnola

The Grand Hotel Villa Castagnola is a five star superior Hotel in Lugano and enjoys a privileged position inside a large sub-tropical park, with a beautiful view towards the lake. The elegant villa, built in 1880, combines the charm of a bygone era with the comfort of a modern luxury hotel.

A young Swiss couple of the Schnyder von Wartensee family bought Villa Castagnola, originally built for the Von Ritter, a noble Russian family,, in 1885. They transformed it into a hotel and the family owned it up to 1982, when it was sold to a local family. A total redecoration was then started by the new owners to return the building to its original beauty and provide the highest standards of comfort. Nothing is left to chance! Every detail is taken care of, to make guests feel welcomed into this “private home”. Elegant art objects are scattered throughout the various public areas: 17th century Gobelin d’Aubusson tapestries in the Salone Camino, paintings of Italian masters in the Sala Bridge, and Flemish masters in the Sala Colonne. With its long standing hotel tradition, Villa Castagnola has become throughout the years, the chosen holiday destination for aristocrats, politicians, business leaders, bankers, artists, writers, all seeking privacy and rest in discreet yet sophisticated surroundings The hotel offers 72 rooms, of exceptional charm, individually styled, with stunning park and/or lake views, balcony, terrace or loggia.
