The View Lugano
Lugano Paradiso Switzerland
An all-encompassing experience in the height luxury, where attention to detail goes hand in hand with care for the environment and the pursuit of exclusivity and where a new concept of receiving and hosting is defined.
Lugano Paradiso
THE VIEW Lugano, which belongs to the Planhotel Hospitality Group, is a boutique hotel in the heart of Lugano, an exceptional location conceived with a smart approach to luxury, where extreme attention is paid to the needs and preferences of guests. Here the focus is on providing a welcome that “envelopes”, bringing together warmth and authenticity in an atmosphere that is designed to be comfortable and aesthetically pleasing, thanks to a blend of contemporary and traditional styles. The nautical inspired architecture, a perfect yacht that sails on the waters of the lake on a journey of luxury and comfort.
Just as if departing on a cruise, ‘THE VIEW experience’ begins with the arrival by car, directly into the covered garage of the hotel. Up ton the first floor are the public areas, with the bar, THE VIEW Fine Dining restaurant, THE VIEW SPA and the magnificent TreCinqueZero terrace. The entire hotel and all 18 suites overlook the lake and this view on the water is the same from every area. Marine teak, glass, krion® – a technical material unique for its resistance and tactility – the undulating references to waves in the wall designs and the style details, define its spaces. Geometric, essential, minimalist, elegant, it is distinguished by the high quality of its materials and by the visionary aspect of its whole.

Wellness
The View Spa
An Olympus of charm designed for the guests of the hotel, but also open to external visitors, where every gesture and every detail is dedicated to wellness. The center offers tailor-made treatments, a selection of exclusive products and well trained, highly specialized personnel.
Salt Room
The salt room has as an entire wall built out of Himalayan Saltbricks which naturally and continually release a high concentration of iodine and negative ions into the air.
The negative ions purify the air in the room, kill bacteria and drastically reduce radiation, resulting in a deep purification of the skin, which along with the iodine, greatly improves conditions such as dermatitis or psoriasis.
Pools and thermal areas
The pool area, with its soft lighting and stunning views of the lake, features an 18 meter swimming pool and a vitality pool, with a heated whirlpool, hydro-massage circuit and water jets.
Sauna
After the thermotherapy phase, a Finnish sauna is followed by a dip in a frozen lake and a massage with birch branches to reactivate the circulation. This ritual has been adapted to our climate and environment. Exposure to the very hot dry air, is followed by a cold shower or a bath to stimulate the proper functioning of the thermoregulation.
Turkish bath
People who live in big cities know that smog and pollution is a problem for the respiratory tract. The Turkish bath is extremely effective in cleansing the lungs of harmful micro particles: the moist heat present inside the steam bath renders the mucose more fluid, benefiting those who suffer from chronic diseases of the respiratory system. Having treatments at least once a week, can improve bronchitis, sinusitis and rhinitis. The moist heat present in the Turkish baths also combats adiposity of the skin and cellulite.
