THE VIEW Lugano

What the classifiers highlight

Eighteen suites crown a hilltop above Lake Lugano, each laid out so the view reaches the bed, the balcony and the tub alike. Yacht-inspired interiors mix pale marine teak, glass and a stone-like material called krion. The kitchen draws on the Dolomites for dishes like roasted lamb dumplings, and the spa runs chocolate treatments and a salt room.
