I was eyeing this hotel for a while as it is difficult to find the room in summer time. However managed to visit in Oct'22. The hotel is luxury, in a very beautiful setting with marina at Lake Maggiore steps away. Conveniently located close to Ascona city center, 25-30min drive (complimentary shuttle provided by hotel) to Locarno train station. Surroundings are very picturesque. I stayed at single room, and while picturesque, clean and comfortable, some noise in the room (perhaps of technical in nature) did not create super comfortable quiet sleeping environment. Otherwise, everything was superb. The spa is excellent, with pool opening into outdoor pool and view of the mountains. Spa treatments were superb (Nikoletta and another Austrian girl (sorry i forgot her name!) were excellent). Hotel has several dining options, Marina is great, and also tried superb La Brezza cuisine (Michelin 1 star restaurant). Breakfast was complimentary due to LHW membership and was excellent with magnificent views. Ascona has some gorgeous hike views with only short walking distance from the hotel. Restaurants/banks/shops are also within super short walking distance. Lake Maggiore offers scenic boat trips but i did not try it this time, only a hike to Monte Verita, and it was unforgettable. Hope to be back.
