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

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

Terminal 1 to the left, Terminal 2 to the right. Closer to your flight, and you’d be on the tarmac.

The warmth of a stone fireplace greets guests in the lobby. Designer Guy Prache has added antiques, lamps and carpets from his jaunts to Nepal.

Sweet location not far from Gran Paradiso Nat’l Park, with panoramic views of the Alps from the breakfast terrace.

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

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

Views so gorgeous we might just sit by the windows in our pj’s all day.

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

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

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

Get the night (or afternoon) started without leaving the onsite bar.

Free WiFi satisfies both biz travelers and social media addicts.
