Hotel Belvedere Locarno
(Time) travel in style: at the Hotel Belvedere Locarno, you can stroll through the modernized walls of the historic 15th century building, meet Jean Talbot or Edmond Céria, whose paintings adorn the walls of the hotel, and be enchanted by an allegorical ceiling fresco from the 17th century.
The former aristocratic residence has been run as a hotel since the end of the 19th century and has since embodied a glorious tradition whose high level of hotelier skill has been passed down from generation to generation. With great attention to detail and extensive restoration know-how, the charm of the historic building has been preserved despite extensive renovations in winter 2020 and 2021, while at the same time adapting to the high demands of the times. Guests at the 4-star superior Hotel Belvedere Locarno will find everything a modern heart and mind needs, from wellness to business. And all this in the middle of the legendary film city on Lake Maggiore, quietly nestled between mountain and lake. The location in the countryside below the Madonna del Sasso pilgrimage church is unique, just a few minutes' walk from Locarno's Piazza Grande and the lakeside promenade.
The Belvedere Locarno defines elegance made to measure: in an aesthetically sophisticated manner, the entire hotel is an eclectic dream of historical flair in a state-of-the-art guise. All 90 rooms and suites in the hotel create an unobtrusive, elegant atmosphere with a high standard of comfort and also offer wonderful views to the south. The hotel's art collection also promises fantastic views. In addition to selected paintings by renowned Swiss artists of the 20th century, you will come across contemporary bronze sculptures by Pedro Pedrazzini and Istvàn Béothy or the historic fountain in the garden next to a remarkable collection of posters from the Locarno Film Festival. A real feast for the eyes.
The hotel's culinary offerings can also be called a feast for all the senses. Like the city itself, the stylish La Fontana offers Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. Great importance is attached to the use of regional products and "classic" evergreens. The efforts have been rewarded with 14 points in the Gault&Millau . The ambience is also enchanting: surrounded by tall palm trees and magnificent plants, guests dine on the terrace in all green, while inside, subtle colors and plenty of light do the delicious dishes justice. Surrounded by the greenery of the Oasi Spa, the "Grotto al Sasso" invites guests to linger for light meals, snacks and drinks during the summer months and when the weather is fine.
Whether you want to indulge in the pulsating life of Locarno or the dolce vita of wellness, celebrate a lavish party or enjoy the idyllic tranquillity of the Oasi Spa - the decision is not easy, as everything is possible and everything is grandiose. Unique events for up to 400 people are just as much a part of the hotel's repertoire as the organization of meetings and conferences according to all the rules of the art of business. If you can't keep a cool head with all this choice, just take a long dip in the 17-metre-long swimming pool.
