Brand new place on a quiet street in Parabiago, the City of the Shoes. Cool moveable panels absorb or deflect the sun’s heat to increase energy efficiency.

This refined spot rocks retro-chic design, stylish furniture and nature-inspired blue and green hues.

Cafe Bellagio treats you to killer lake views and traditional French fare starring locally sourced ingredients. You in?

Well-place Lugano home base close to shops, dining – all the good stuff.

Just a short drive from the buzz of the city centre.

Modest rooms have modern touches, like sleek decor and plenty of plugins.

You know what’s nice to wake up to? Free breakfast, that’s what.

Free WiFi satisfies both biz travelers and social media addicts.

Breakfast starts at 6am so early flights don't equal hunger pangs.

Thankfully-soundproofed airport hotel is also blissfully close to Lake Maggiore. (Alpine views! Boat rides to Isola Bella island!)

Funky furniture in the lobby gives the place a cool, quirky vibe.

24-hour bar... 'cause it's 5 o'clock somewhere.

Free WiFi satisfies both biz travellers and social media addicts.
