This 5-star hotel resort has 17 hotel suites and 53 hotel apartments, two restaurants, bar, spa with indoor and outdoor pools, bakery, café/bar, conference rooms and kids club. It sits on a 1.4 hectare mountainous site perched up above Locarno.

The village of Monte Brè is situated on a mountain ridge above the towns of Locarno and Ascona. It enjoys views towards the south over the Lago Maggiore. The cosy hotel lobby displays a breath-taking view of the surrounding landscape. The lobby opens up to a generous plaza with a vast pool that extends towards the spa below.

The central piazza spans from the coffee house to the event hall and hotel, down to the spa. It opens up to the magnificent view down below to the Lago Maggiore. It is a square for the locals, guests and passers-by alike, and it will host community markets, local events, café and restaurant terraces.
