Where sky and earth meet: our hotel on Lake Lugano
Inspired by the unique beauty of the land and its lush, unspoilt nature, an architectural masterpiece was created in cooperation with renowned Milan architecture firm R4M, where the distinctive style of owner Eva-Maria Schwenn can be seen in every flourish. Discreet yet impressive, the hotel on Lake Lugano stands where sky and earth, mountain and lake meet. In harmony with the idyllic natural landscape surrounding the lake hotel near Lugano, we have created a synthesis of art and nature that reflects the four elements – air, water, earth, and fire – in all its facets, and stays true to its roots. Roots that reach back to the Lepontine Celts who once settled in this area.
