A hotel that’s all about personal service and hospitality, Hotel Delfino Lugano has been run by the same family for four generations. You’re likely to meet the owner, Federico, who tries to greet all his guests whenever possible. The hotel has a relaxed informal feel, and is in a quiet location in the residential part of town. The lake is a ten-minute walk away, and the train station is about a three-minute walk.
The hotel is intimate, with 50 rooms and suites. While decorated simply, the rooms are clean and feature thoughtful details like vases of flowers. The hotel also has a conservatory restaurant, a large terrace and a big pool.
Though not directly on the lake, the hotel offers views of the gulf of Lugano, as well as Monte San Salvatore, which towers over Lake Lugano.

Hotel Delfino Lugano has 50 rooms and suites, ranging from the Smart Queen room, which can sleep up to two, to the spacious Panorama Suite, which has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The furnishings and decor are simple and minimal, with the rooms decorated in brown and green.
The family rooms have a bedroom with a small adjacent room with a sofa bed, separated by a sliding door. The Family Suite also has two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
All rooms have balconies with either a mountain view, lake view or both. Air conditioning, Wi-Fi and en suite bathrooms are all standard.
Hotel Delfino Lugano is located on top of a hill, giving you views across the rooftops to the lake and distant mountaintops. It’s in a more quiet, residential part of town that’s an easy walk to the train station, and about a ten-minute walk from the lakeshore.
We love Hotel Delfino Lugano because of the value for money it offers, as well as its convenient location and attentive service. With its pool and menu options for children, it’s particularly well suited for families.
Where possible, we like to offer a range of accommodation for each stop of your trip, chosen by our specialists as some of their favorite places to stay. To help you make the right choice, we give each property a rating based on its facilities and service, but we also look for hotels with distinct character or a location that can’t be bettered.
