Hotel Splendide Royal Lugano began as Villa Merlina, a baroque villa built around 1870 on the shores of Lake Lugano, before becoming a hotel in 1887 and gaining its Royal name in 1924 in tribute to its aristocratic guests.
The Naldi family has owned and run the hotel since 1977, developing it while preserving its lakeside, belle epoque character. It remains one of Lugano's grand hotel addresses, its terraces looking directly onto the lake.
Known for: city life, local immersion, wellness.
