Hotel Eden Roc - the Leading Hotels of the World

This is a gorgeous more modern resort hotel with service that is exactly what a luxury resort should be in a beautiful location. We enjoyed our stay immensely even though it rained during most of our time in Ascona. The promenade and shopping area of the small town of Ascona is lovely and an easy walk from the hotel. From the complimentary private pickup from the Locarno train station which we arranged in advance, to the drive to the ferry dock for our next stop, the service was flawless. The room was beautiful, with plenty of space to unpack and store things with all the modern conveniences. The bathroom was large with one of the best showers ever. The only tiny hiccup were the door locks which can be rather tricky until you get the knack, but we were told that they will be changing that this winter. They have numerous restaurant choices and we ate at three of the four choices. The Marina, was very good. The Cassetta, which we reserved had to close because it was outdoor dining and raining, and we were immediately informed by the staff and given other options. The two Michelin star La Brezza restaurant was very special, and a most enjoyable evening with magnificent food. The chef who came out to speak with us was delightful as was everyone we spoke with. One of our top two meals we have ever had and worth the high cost. Our least favorite was the Eden Roc restaurant, but that had a superb salad bar, and was where the excellent breakfast buffet was served in the morning. The bar area both indoors and outdoors was centrally located and a wonderful place to relax, often with a piano player and one who was a delightful vocalist. There were many sitting areas throughout the resort which also worked very well for us because of the weather. The indoor outdoor pool with jacuzzi area was great. This is a fine case of you get what you pay for, and although the cost is high, we had no complaints and enjoyed our time there. We recommend.

The hotel & staff are wonderful! The view is amazing! But, we could not open the door to our room 2/3 of the time. The key lock needs to go keyless!

I celebrated my birthday at the spa. Although I retired from being a spa  director for  a beautiful 5-star spa, I can’t get enough of spas, so I had to visit this one. From entry to exit, my experience was outstanding.  The views from the outdoor relaxation areas were amazing,  creating a perfect backdrop for me to relax.   So I read some, journaled some, relaxed in the thermal waters, and enjoyed the cold and hot water therapies.   For my treatment, I had an amazing spa experience provided by Nicholas.  The spa is beautifully designed, and every possible need appears to have been considered.  This is a spa experience that I will not forget. 

My family and I were traveling through Switzerland in September and had an absolutely amazing stay in Ascona at Eden Roc! Markus Tauss and his team went above and beyond and made the visit truly memorable. The room was perfect! Homemade Lemonade and Ice Tea awaited us upon arrival, the view was superb, and the service was perfect! Every aspect from our stay was great, dirnks on the terrace, to breakfast in the Garden, what more could you ask for. And again, as mentioned above, the friendliness and desire to help was very present throughout the entire resort! thank you for the great service and fabulous stay!!

An absolutely stunning position on the magnificent lake in Ascona. The property is beautifully maintained with wonderful amenities, spa, pools, lakeside swimming, steam room and saunas and many beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces to gather or sit alone gazing out to the wonder of nature. The service was exceptional (loved Lina) and the rooms were very comfortable, clean and luxurious. We loved the organic body products - so critical in these toxic times. The breakfast was good. We would have liked more organic and gluten-free options and super foods. La Brezza restaurant is a stand out experience (see separate review). Overall, it's expensive but you only live once!

Everything about this magical, spectacular property in a breathtakingly beautiful place is first-rate. Every.single.thing. Spacious, designer rooms. Gorgeous, lakefront position. Fantastic, varied cuisine. Top class service. No room for improvement in any way that we could see. Bravo!
