LUGANODANTE Boutique & Lifestyle Hotel, hotel in Lugano

Boasting a bar, LUGANODANTE Boutique & Lifestyle Hotel is situated in the centre of Lugano, 300 metres from Lugano Station. This 4-star hotel offers a concierge service and luggage storage space.

The family room was quite big for 4 people. The living area fits one sofa bed and one foldable bed. There are sliding door to separate the bedroom and living area totally which was ideal. Bathroom and toilet are large and separated. The food and service in the restaurant was fantastic, we stayed on Christmas Day had lunch and dinner in the restaurant and both were tasty! The breakfast buffet was great and extensive! Very happy with the location too, just at the bottom of the funicular.

    I booked the apartment the same morning of my stay and everything went incredibly smoothly! The host was only a text message or phone call away and possible concerns were taken seriously and also taken care of right away! The apartment was very clean and the location is ideal (short bus ride away from the city center and the bus stop is only a 2-minutes-walk from the apartment).

    Continental Park hotel was a good choice for us arriving at the peak season, but having not much budget to spend for long weekend. Great value for the price. The hotel has a long history and we were impressed how they cheer it with numerous old photos and pictures. Polite and helpful staff, very clean and convenient rooms. Amazing breakfast! And very good location: not far from the center, you can use funicular for free to go up and down to the center if you don’t want to use the stairs. We didn’t use the pool, though it looked nice.
