HOTEL SUMMARY
Where Mediterranean elegance meets Swiss precision, Hotel Eden Roc Ascona transforms the shores of Lake Maggiore into an exclusive sanctuary that redefines luxury hospitality. This five-star resort, part of Switzerland's prestigious Tschuggen Collection, offers discerning travelers a climate-neutral retreat where sustainability harmonizes seamlessly with sophisticated comfort.
Following a comprehensive seven-month renovation, Hotel Eden Roc emerged as a masterpiece of contemporary design under the vision of Carlo Rampazzi, one of Switzerland's most celebrated interior designers. Rampazzi's concept evokes the sensation of a delicate sailing yacht gliding across pristine waters, with interiors that emphasize light, openness, and an effortless connection between indoor luxury and the natural splendor of Lake Maggiore. The hotel's architecture balances modern sophistication with Mediterranean charm, creating spaces that feel both timeless and refreshingly contemporary. As a member of the Tschuggen Collection, Switzerland's first premium hotel group to integrate climate protection with exceptional hospitality standards, Eden Roc has earned recognition as "Best Holiday Hotel in Switzerland" in 2023.
The hotel's accommodations showcase Rampazzi's yacht-inspired aesthetic, with rooms and suites designed to maximize the spectacular lake views and garden vistas. Each space reflects the designer's commitment to creating environments that mirror the serenity of sailing across Lake Maggiore, featuring contemporary furnishings, premium amenities, and private terraces or balconies that frame the alpine landscape. The Hotel Eden Roc suites represent the pinnacle of lakeside luxury, offering expansive living areas and unobstructed panoramas of Switzerland's most beautiful lake.
Culinary excellence defines the Eden Roc experience through La Brezza restaurant, helmed by Executive Chef Marco Campanella, recently crowned "Chef of the Year 2025" by GaultMillau Switzerland. With 19 GaultMillau points, La Brezza delivers Mediterranean-inspired cuisine that celebrates both local Ticino traditions and international sophistication. Beyond dining, the resort functions as a water sports paradise, featuring its own marina with private boat moorings and a comprehensive watersports school. The expansive Garden of Eden provides numerous retreats beneath swaying palm trees, while Casa Epper, the integrated historic artist residence, hosts cultural workshops and exhibitions that enrich the guest experience.
Under Director Simon Spiller's leadership since 2019, Hotel Eden Roc embodies authentic hospitality rooted in family tradition and environmental consciousness. Located just five minutes from Ascona's charming piazza yet worlds away from ordinary luxury hotels, this lakeside sanctuary offers exclusive access to Lake Maggiore's pristine waters while serving as the perfect base for exploring the Verzasca Valley and Monte Verità.
