FAQs about hotels in Locarno








A Sunny Swiss Corner

Locarno is a gorgeous destination on the shores of Lake Maggiore, featuring the warmest climate in Switzerland. Situated at the foot of the Alps, this colourful Swiss city is home to the world-famous Locarno International Film Festival.

Considered to be designed by Leonardo da Vinci, the 13th-century Visconteo Castle houses an important archaeological museum. The historic pilgrimage church of Madonna del Sasso stands proud above the city, overlooking an inviting harbour.

Travellers can stroll around the narrow alleys of the old town, visit one of the antique shops, admire the old churches with Italian Baroque style or dine in one of the traditional restaurants near the main square of Piazza Grande. During the winter months they can also go for skiing or hiking on the Cardada Cimetta Mountain using the cable car.

Nature lovers will have the opportunity to swim in the blue waters of the Lago Maggiore, wander around the aromatic citrus trees and relax in the vineyards of the hills behind Locarno.

    Main reason to go their was the Indian Ticino Ride, Close to the lakeside and in the middle of the city we could celebrate until Midnight.

    Awesome small town on the shore of Lago Maggiore.

    Awesome small town on the shore of Lago Maggiore. Clean, all buildings and streets are perfectly maintained. Very green, extremely picturesque - placed between Alps slopes and lake shores , with palms and lot of flowers growing around. Small but beautiful Old town, tasteful food. Just a small heaven on Earth, it still is expensive.

    Locarno has a lovely location on the shores of Lake Maggiore. In addition Locarno has developed a continuous walking and bicycle trail along the lake. We spent half a day walking to Ascona - another lake town. Another day we took the train 30 minutes to Bellinzona to explore the UNESCO world heritage castles.

    Amazing cable car then ski lift up to the top of the Alps, still snow on the peaks in early September. A beautiful situation at the top of Lake Maggiore, but considerably more expensive than the Italian resorts . Would recommend the Centrovalli train from Domodossola and the cable cars

    Super great stay, they took excellent care of my food allergies- gluten free and lactose free. I had enough breakfast options. Only the parking was not included so you have to park across the street, but you only need to feed the meter 2 CHF 2x per day. That was no issue, we did it during dog walks. The rooms were great, nice lake view balcony(have to book for this-worth it). Extremely dog friendly and a great location to jog from! You can just go and jump in the lake to cool down in summer, which is a must in beautiful Locarno summer days!

    The hotel was next to the train station, which was extremely helpful. The staff was extremely nice and accommodating. At one point, my key card stopped working to allow us to get into the building and our room. I called the contact number for the hotel found in the email. They answered immediately and one of the staff left her home minutes away to come let us in and get us a new key card. It was amazing! They also allowed us to store our bags there after we had checked out and we’re waiting for another train. Amazing staff!

    I love this hotel. I've stayed twice, once as a solo traveler and once with my sister, visiting me from the USA. The hotel is in an amazing location, with the waterfront on one side and a shortcut to the train station on the other. Restaurants, coffee shops and gelato are just next door. The rooms are minimalist. The beds are comfortable. The breakfast is great, and I love that cappuccino, hot chocolate and vending machines are available at all times on the second floor. The staff was fantastic, each time.

    The location was great, only a short walk from the train station. Even better was our room with a beautiful view of Lake Maggiore. The ferry landing (for Ascona, etc.) was a 2 minute walk and numerous restaurants were within a 5 minute walk. The room was very comfortable with a small separate entryway with a couch, handy for my husband who often gets up at 3 am. Breakfast was really good, with many choices. The staff were all very nice and attentive.
