Set on the shores of Lake Lugano, this magnificent 5-star resort hotel is a property of immense charm, standing within a private, subtropical park.
Once the home of a noble Russian family, the impressive mansion was transformed into a hotel in 1885. Today’s Grand Hotel blends the splendour of a bygone era with the warmth and comfort of a private home.
The Grand Hotel Villa Castagnola is admired for its tranquil atmosphere, elegance and discreet and friendly service. An enchanting oasis, away from the stresses of modern life, and an ideal environment for business or pleasure, at any time of year.
Indulge yourself in one of our two restaurants, where our chefs de cuisine prepare mouth-watering Mediterranean dishes from the freshest seasonal ingredients. Our maîtres d’hôtel are always on hand to advise on the menu and to help you select from our range of fine local and international wines from our well-stocked cellar. The Grand Hotel’s bar areas offer a relaxed and stylish ambience, with attentive yet discreet service.
