Albergo Losone, Losone-Ascona

This unconventional 1st-class hotel is set in the middle of the country’s largest palm tree grove, bringing a taste of the Caribbean to Switzerland.

Far from any disturbance, this oasis spreads over an area of 27,000 m2. The Albergo Losone satisfies the wishes and needs of all family guests - from toddlers to grandparents - and has been recognised as best Swiss family hotel from 2003 to 2006 by the Sonntagszeitung, a leading Swiss Sunday newspaper.

Thanks to the generous planning it is possible to split interests between quiet and activity zones, the latter including the swimming pool, playground, restaurant and bar. As a result it is possible even in the high season to find a quiet spot and perhaps curl up with a good book in the shade of palm trees.

The hotel offers a wealth of facilities for the entire family, including its own tennis academy, a pitch and putt golf course, free bike and helmet hire, supervised children’s activities and a pet zoo with goats and ponies.

The well-being centre Sassi caldi della Maggia, offers the ideal relaxing environment. Unwind in the steam bath, plunge into the cold-water pool before you chill out in the unique atmosphere of the Tepidarium where you can also book massages.

The 9-hole golf course covers 16,000 m² on the west side of the hotel and is suited for beginners as well as for the more advanced players. Golf pro's are present all year round.

The internationally renowned 18-hole course Gerre Losone is only 1 km away. Guests are entitled to reduced green fees. The Locarno and Ascona golf courses are only 3 km away from Albergo Losone.

All rooms offer either a garden terrace or balcony.
