The heavenly Eden Roc on Lake Maggiore offers the perfect blend of excellent Swiss service and Italian dolce vita. The modern rooms and suites all feature a balcony or terrace with panoramic views of the majestic mountains or the mirror-smooth lake. Other highlights include an outstanding spa, a Mediterranean two-star restaurant, a wealth of water sports, and a private beach right on the doorstep. Perfect for anyone who wants to spend a dream vacation by the water without traveling far.
The picturesque Lake Maggiore and the hotel's 2,000-square-meter wellness oasis are unforgettable highlights, complemented by heated indoor and outdoor pools. You can also enjoy a hydrotherapy pool, several saunas, steam baths, and high-quality treatments. The affiliated water sports school can organize all kinds of activities, including banana boating, sailing, motorboating, stand-up paddleboarding, and water skiing. Rent a nostalgic Vespa or motorcycle to explore the beautiful area on your own, or get advice on the best hiking and mountain biking routes, which are plentiful in Switzerland.
A total of 95 rooms and suites are spread across three buildings, each offering a varied, themed interior. The rooms in the main building are colorfully designed and decorated with modern artwork, while the rooms in the Eden Roc Marina offer a more youthful, maritime design with vintage furniture and light décor. All accommodations feature high-quality Molton Brown toiletries in the spacious bathrooms, as well as balconies or terraces with views of the idyllic mountains or the shimmering lake. The best suites in the hotel are undoubtedly in the Grand Suite Panorama category – here you can enjoy two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an exclusive sun terrace with loungers and the best lake view.
Four excellent restaurants offer you a difficult choice every day. The historic La Casetta on the lake shore serves fresh pasta dishes, grilled seafood, and freshwater specialties. Enjoy a casual beach club atmosphere and homemade pasta at Marina, whose outdoor lounge is perfect for an aperitif. However, the undisputed highlight is a Mediterranean-Sicilian dinner at La Brezza, which has been awarded two Michelin stars and 18 Gault Millau points. Authentic traditional Ticino dishes are reinterpreted by chef Caterina Vosti at the Eden Roc restaurant.
It is not without reason that the luxury hotel Eden Roc is called "Switzerland's only true beach resort." Thanks to the warm climate in the Italian-speaking canton of Ticino, Ascona is a popular vacation destination in every season, but the picturesque Lake Maggiore really comes to life in the summer months, from May to September. The glacier water is so clear that you can see hundreds of minnows swimming in different directions as you swim. No less impressive is the surrounding mountain panorama that greets you every morning. The Eden Roc is spread over three buildings with 95 rooms, including 34 suites and three phenomenal grand suites. Each wing has its own distinctive style – the left wing, for example, features colorful interiors by renowned Swiss designer Carlo Rampazzi, characterized by bright colors and extravagant furnishings. All rooms have a balcony or spacious terrace with mountain or lake views. The common areas are furnished with gleaming marble floors and large sofas under vaulted palazzo ceilings, exuding a luxurious flair.
