Lying on Lugano's lakefront, the Grand Palace is an iconic building that has played a leading role in the city's history.

This prime location not only provides a panoramic view and plenty of sunlight throughout the day, but also the convenience of being in the historic centre with amenities easily accessible on foot. What's more, the Lugano Sud motorway exit is less than five minutes' drive away, the train station is 800 metres away and the funicular just a short walk from the building. Lugano-Agno airport lies 10 km away and Milan Malpensa 70 km away.
