Hotel Splendide Royal - Hotel
Riva Caccia 7 6900 Lugano Switzerland

Established in 1887, the Splendide royal with its turn-of-the century characters is Lugano’s most fashionable address. This palace with its elegance, discrete luxury, charm and magical atmosphere has an exclusive location, overlooking a picturesque pre-Alp lake and within walking distance from the old town, its romantic churches, museums and exclusive shopping area. The hotel was recently renovated to reflect a contemporary expression of Swiss hospitality.
Member of the Swiss Deluxe Hotels. The hotel opened in 1902 at the south end of town, next to the lake and on the grounds of the Villa Merlina, a 19th-century villa (1887) known for its spectacular gardens. The owners, the Fedele family, enlarged the existing structure and opened a 125-bed hotel, originally called the Hotel Splendide. The hotel soon gained a steady clientele among the wealthy Europeans who frequented this summer resort. In 1977 an Italian hotel company, Roberto Naldi Hotels, bought the hotel from the Fedele family and in 1983 they added a new wing with 53 guest rooms. Today it is known as Lugano's foremost hotel, with 94 guest rooms and a staff of 100 employees who provide meticulous personal service. The hotel inspires loyalty among its clients, more than half the guests here usually being repeat visitors.
