Swiss hotel offers a world of fine cuisine, wines and magnificent views – surrounded by history
TRAVEL: by Eric Mackenzie Lamb
Located in the Italian speaking Kanton (province) of Ticino, the city of Lugano is famous for its lake and its surroundings, as well as its tourist attractions like ferry sightseeing cruises, museums, churches, and architecture. Prominent among these attractions is the hotel Villa Principe Leopoldo, named in honor of Prince Friedrich Leopoldo Von Hohenzollern, a Prussian cavalry general.
Today, as in the past, a stay at Villa Principe Leopoldo is like taking a plunge into the past, a truly unique experience capable of provoking strong emotions from the views of magnificent Lake Lugano, to the enchantment of the Colina D’Oro, to the sophisticated pleasure of Michelin starred menus, all inspired by the magnificent natural surroundings.
Immediately seen as a point of reference of a demanding sort of clientele which is always in search of discrete and sophisticated hospitality, the hotel has maintained the tradition of welcoming eminent figures in the international scene, such as artists, opera singers, and famous actors and actresses. The list becomes even longer if you add members of several royal families., as well as important persons from the world of finance and politics, not to mention famous athletes. All of them appreciate the peace and harmony of the hotel, considering it a benchmark of European hospitality.
As the saying goes, a picture is worth a hundred words.
