International au Lac Historic Lakeside Hotel LUGANO, SWITZERLAND
The Lugano Region, with its Mediterranean ambiance, is an ideal year-round destination in southern Switzerland. Here, you can bask in the warmth of sunny days and the region’s scenic beauty. Surrounded by nature, guests will find a
plethora of outdoor experiences readily available: four panoramic peaks—Monte Brè, Monte San Salvatore, Monte Tamaro and Monte Lema—are easily accessible via funicular or cable-car. Moreover, there are over 550 miles of hiking
trails and 250 miles of mountain bike routes weaving through lakes, hills, peaks and picturesque villages. Lake Lugano serves as the perfect setting
for various water sports activities, including standup paddleboarding, kayaking and sailing. Alternatively, you can opt for relaxation on board one of the many cruises, which uncover lakeside gems like Gandria and Morcote. During the summer months, the lakeside lidos offer serene escapes for enjoying lakeside aperitifs or leisurely family activities in and around the water.
For culture enthusiasts, the Lugano region
provides a wealth of opportunities to explore artistic and cultural treasures through its museums and art galleries. And let’s not forget about the culinary delights: from traditional cuisine served in charming grottos to Michelin- starred restaurants, accompanied by fine wines from Ticino. Stroll down Via Nassa, Lugano’s most famous
historical street, tucked beneath ancient city porticoes, and discover an array of sophisticated boutiques to enhance your shopping experience. At the southern end of Via Nassa lies the exquisite International au Lac Historic Lakeside Hotel, offering an urban retreat in the heart of the historic town centre, overlooking the lake promenade. The hotel is a romantic outdoor oasis, featuring
a garden with a swimming pool and terrace for games. Many of the rooms have recently been renovated, giving them a modern refresh while still preserving the historic charm of the building, which has been under the same family’s ownership since 1906 and is now in its fourth generation.
DON’T MISS The LAC Lugano Arte e Cultura, next to the International au Lac Historic Lakeside Hotel, is the heart of the city’s cultural activities
