The brief

Why hotels with amazing views, why here

Hotels with amazing views in Locarno are not just about a room with a window; they are about staying somewhere that makes the setting part of the experience. In Locarno, that means looking for properties that make the most of the town’s lakeside atmosphere and surrounding scenery, so the outlook feels like a genuine highlight rather than an afterthought. The best options combine a strong view with comfort, good guest feedback and a location that suits the kind of stay you want, whether that is a relaxed break, a romantic escape or a simple base for exploring the area.

This list includes a mix of styles and standards, from the 4-star Hotel And Lounge Lago Maggiore and Hotel Belvedere Locarno to smaller, more modest stays such as Pensione Olanda, Boutique Centrale and Osteria La Riva. Guest scores are consistently strong, which suggests these hotels deliver more than scenery alone. Parkhotel Brenscino, Hotel Garni Millennium and Palazzo Canetti Locarno also offer options for travellers who want a view without necessarily choosing the most formal hotel setting.

A true hotel with amazing views in Locarno should feel well placed, well kept and worth the stay even before you step outside. It suits couples, solo travellers and anyone who values a memorable outlook as much as a comfortable bed.
