Villa Principe Leopoldo - 五星级酒店 在 Lugano, 瑞士

A Regal Residence transformed into a

Prestigious Hotel'

Villa Principe Leopoldo, perched atop the fabled 'Golden Hill' which dominates the city of Lugano, is named after Prince Frederic Leopold of Prussia, a distinguished cavalry general and member of the German Hohenzollern Dynasty, which ascended the throne of Prussia with Frederic William in 1701 and then became first rulers of the new German empire on its creation on 1871.

Before becoming a hotel in 1986, the beautiful princely mansion bore witness to a hundred crowded years of history, welcoming as residents or guests many of the notables of the European aristocracy of the times. Prince Frederic Leopold, son of the general who had built the villa as his summer residence, lived in it until his death in 1931, preferring its higher location, greenery and sweeping views, to the lakeside Villa Favorita.
