Hotel Eden Roc
Mediterranean resort energy with Swiss precision. Think linen shirts, lake breezes, and Aperol spritzes by the water — but with faultless service and a world-class kitchen.
Book La Brezza well in advance — it only opens Wednesday to Sunday evenings in peak season and tables go fast
Why It Matters
Switzerland's only beach resort with a private marina. Two Michelin stars at La Brezza under Chef Marco Campanella (GaultMillau Chef of the Year 2025, 19 points). The entire property is 100% climate-neutral and Green Globe certified. Ranked 2nd in 'Luxury Lake Side Resorts' in the 101 Best Hotels in Switzerland (SonntagsZeitung). The historic La Casetta restaurant was the site of World War II peace talks (Operation Sunrise, March 1945).
Hotel Eden Roc is a 5-star superior resort sitting directly on the shores of Lake Maggiore in Ascona, Switzerland's southernmost corner. It holds the rare claim of being Switzerland's only true beach resort — complete with a private palm-fringed beach, its own marina, three swimming pools, and a 10,000 m² Mediterranean garden. Ninety-five rooms and suites are all dressed in the bold, colourful work of Ticino interior designer Carlo Rampazzi, and the kitchen headline is a two-Michelin-star restaurant.
Where You'll Stay
11 room types available
Comfort Double Room
Compact and neatly formed. Terrace or balcony on a quiet street with Ticino mountain views. Carlo Rampazzi colourful furnishings throughout. Honest value for the category.
Comfort Single Room
Smallest category in the hotel. Parquet flooring, colourful Carlo Rampazzi furnishings. Ground-floor terrace looks toward mountains or the garden — no lake view. Good entry point if the room is just a place to sleep.
Deluxe Double Room
Brightly designed room with a balcony offering a side view of Lake Maggiore — the first category where the water comes into the picture. Thoughtfully furnished throughout.
Junior Suite Lake View
Light-flooded suite with terrace or French balcony facing Lake Maggiore. Open-plan living space makes it ideal for a longer stay. The lake views here are genuinely special.
Junior Suite Mountain View
Spacious suite with a clean separation of living and sleeping areas. Views look toward the Ticino mountains. Carefully designed Carlo Rampazzi interior throughout.
One Bedroom Deluxe Suite
Spacious separate rooms with high-quality designer furniture. Floor-to-ceiling windows and a panoramic lake view with palm trees visible from the bedroom. Top choice for a lake-facing splurge.
One Bedroom Superior Suite
Contemporary design with fine materials. Terrace with a side lake view. Freestanding bathtub visible from the bedroom adds a touch of theatre.
Panoramic Double Room
Fully south-facing with an unrestricted view of Lake Maggiore. The light-flooded interior opens onto an expansive balcony. One of the best room views in the non-suite categories.
Small Standard Double Room
Soft colours and fine parquet flooring. Balcony faces a quiet street with Ticino mountain views. Cosy and well-designed, but no lake view — worth knowing before booking.
Superior Double Room
Striking Carlo Rampazzi design with a terrace or balcony showing Ticino mountains or the landscaped garden. Luxurious comfort step up from the standard categories.
Two Bedroom Panoramic Suite
The flagship suite. Spacious, stylish, and commanding: the terrace delivers an uninterrupted panorama of Lake Maggiore set against the surrounding mountains. Built for two couples or families who refuse to compromise.
