Best hotel I've stayed in Switzerland ☺️ Warm service, (to my surprise) air-conditioned room, best location by the lake, and yet totally sound proof inside. Grazie!

“Location, comfort and a beautiful view.”
My room had windows on 2 sides overlooking the lake and the promenade. It had a small balcony with a table and 2 small chairs overlooking the lake and the mountains. The room was spacious and the bed very comfortable. It was on the first floor directly above a restaurant terrace at the 'busy' end of the promenade very close to the charming small streets of Ascona. I enjoyed hearing the hustle and bustle outside during the evening and it was quiet at night. The reception staff were welcoming and helpful and there was a choice of juices/bread/croissant/meat/cheese and eggs for breakfast. I would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous location. Views from the balconies are stunning. Breakfast buffet is adequate. The fresh orange juice machine was lovely. The staff are pleasant and helpful. The rooms very spotlessly clean. Comfortable beds.
