“In the heart of Lugano, Hotel Walter Au Lac impresses with its lakefront location and rooftop terrace, complete with a Jacuzzi; inside, it's a blend of classic charm and modern comfort, especially in rooms with lake views. While some may find the older building shows its age, the friendly service and free local transport add genuine value. A solid choice, in my opinion, for those seeking a well-located base with character.”
