Swiss Diamond Hotel Lugano

Lake Lugano technically can't decide if it's Swiss or Italian, and neither can this lakeside hotel. The building is modernist glass angled toward the water, but step inside and the rooms lean toward Renaissance villa, all classic furnishings and bathrooms substantial enough to skip the spa over. Though the spa is worth skipping nothing for, with multiple pools, saunas, and a side offering in aesthetic medicine for guests who want restoration at a cellular level.
