About the hotel

Palm trees, azure water and the surrounding Ticino mountains create a backdrop that invites exploration all year round. At the Hotel Excelsior you enjoy this atmosphere in pleasant calm – far from family hotels and the bustle that often accompanies child-friendly resorts. Anyone who also values the region for romantic getaways for two will find further ideas on the overview of romantic hotels for couples.
The Adults-Only Hotel Excelsior in Locarno is especially suited to couples seeking a quiet retreat on Lake Maggiore, as well as to solo travellers and adults who wish to enjoy Ticino without compromise. Whether a long weekend, a short break in Switzerland or a longer stay – Locarno and its surroundings offer an atmospheric setting all year round for a true adults' holiday away from family bustle.

Our independent editorial rating by amenities, location & service. How we rate
Our Impression
Editorial TeamWhy We Chose It
Locarno belongs to the sunniest corner of Switzerland, and the Hotel Excelsior sits right in this Mediterranean lake region on Lake Maggiore. A child-free house in a place that tastes more of northern Italy than of the Alps.
Ideal For
Couples who want palm trees, lake air and a southern way of life without a long journey.
The Ambience
Relaxed and Mediterranean, the Ticino dolce-vita pace rather than alpine austerity.
Good to Know
Locarno comes alive from spring to autumn - in high summer it's lively and warm, in the off-season noticeably quieter.
