I ended up staying an unplanned extra night or two at the International au Lac due to some minor emergency surgery that the Ospedale Civico in Lugano handled with competence and great care. Switzerland is expensive and Lugano is no exception, even off-season, so although the au Lac could do with a bit of an update, its location, great staff,... more

Stayed here for 2 days and would come back again. The rooms (single) were average size but clean. The hotel is located and the end of Via Nassa (a pedestrian only shopping street) that runs up to the main area of the town and piazza (less than 1/2 mile walk). Rooms were reasonably priced and quiet (on the back side... more

We had 2 rooms ; one of them has a great view towards the lake and one facing the back(very quiet, could sleep with the window opened)- both were spatious enough. A very elegant hotel! I would deffinitely recommend it to anyone! more

For 11 nights we stayed at the centrally located International, and found the experience a delight! The atmosphere of old world charm and the friendly welcome plus the efficiency of the staff all added to making our holiday one to remember. Our room was very quiet and very clean and we enjoyed seeing our night clothes laid out artistically by... more

While traveling with our toddler we stayed at this hotel recently while visiting Lugano. We had a corner room with balcony overlooking the lake. Great views and very comfortable room. Best features of the room were plenty of closets, drawers, door hooks, etc for storing all the items needed for traveling with a toddler. On the back terrace they have... more

I stayed at the Hotel International au Lac in early April 2009. This historic hotel sits at the end of the "luxury mile" near the Louis Vitton store just off the lake on a car free street. While there are no cars on the street immediately in front of the hotel (Via Nassa) there is significant traffic on Riva v... more

I stayed here in October of 2006. I wish the weather was better, it was cold and rainy, but the views right smack in front of the hotel are breathtaking. The lake is a few steps away. The location is great, it is on the outskirts (by 3 minutes) of the center of the cobblestone shopping district, so it is... more

Lovely old fashioned hotel on the lake in the centre of the shopping district. Very central with secure underground parking. We had a family room which was 2 double beds with a little balcony and views of the lake. Garden, terrace with games and outdoor swimming pool. Excellent staff who were really helpful. Traditional rooms and furnishings all very nicely... more

Great stay

This was our first visit to the International. We were very impressed by the meals and by the friendly and efficient service. The hotel is very well situated for all the attractions on Lake Lugano and the surrounding area. more

Arrived lated in Lugano and needed somewhere to stay. Choose this place due to its location right on the waterfront and also because it looked like something straight out of a 1930s movie or murder mystery! Front desk staff excelllent and friendly. Small lobby and lift. Rooms not much changed from 1930s! in respect of decor (which I quite like... more
