Colorado Hotel, hotel in Lugano

The Colorado Hotel offers a central location in Lugano, a 5-minute walk away from the promenade on Lake Lugano and around the corner from the LAC Cultural Center.

They were super nice to allow us an early check in since the room was ready. There was a lift to help with luggage. Room felt spacious, bed was comfortable, AC worked so well especially since it was so hot during our stay. Conveniently located right by a bus stop so you could easily reach the center of town or the train station. Otherwise a short walk.

    We stayed for one night in between Lucerne and Lake Como.

    We stayed for one night in between Lucerne and Lake Como. It was a nice break for our trip, and easy to walk around and see the town in just one day. The town is all downhill from the train, so be prepared to walk up and down hills / steps. It’s easy going and lots of little restaurants, cafes, and shopping. The lake and scenery was beautiful, but not sure I would stay for more than a day or so.

    The most beautiful place to stay, loved every minute of it.

    The most beautiful place to stay, loved every minute of it. I will definitely return. Recommend a boat tour and visiting Morcote (bring swimwear as you can get in the lake there)! Funicular tour to Monte Bre was stunning, definitely a must see. Cocktails in Flamel were dreamy, would definitely do dinner there next time.

    Lugano is beautiful town with very friendly people.

    Lugano is beautiful town with very friendly people. We drove around Lugano lake, did a hike to Monte Bre and then drove to Valle Verzasca for a swim in the amazing setting! Water is icy cold, but it didn’t stop kids enjoying themselves. We only stayed one day, so that wasn’t even a close enough to see what Lugano can offer.

    We liked the italian vibe and atmosphere. Food was excellent. People friendlier than in other parts of Switzerland. Just a note: Switzerland is very expensive. Ex: Price of a Margaritta Pizza in Switzerland close to $30, just over $20 in Milan, just 1 hour away in train.

    I got a room with a view which was very nice, the room was spacious, the bed was confortable the illumination was good and the shower very confortable. the place is in the top of the city there is a funicular that can take you down town, and walking is about 10 min it is steep but ok. The hotel is in front of the train station that can take you to lots of places, and the hotel gave us a code that let us use the train and ferry for free to go any were in Switzerland. The breakfast was very good and the service was great too.

    The view is the selling point of this hotel! It is a very relaxing experience to sit on the balcony and see the city underneath lighting up for the night life. The room is in good size and the balcony is in a comfortable size too. The bus right in front of the hotel that leads to the center of Lugano and the scenery on the route is quite enjoyable. Breakfast was OK.
