“A charming resort hotel if perhaps a little quirky.”

Hotel Eden Roc

Contessa

Jul 19, 2007

6/6 found this review helpful

The Eden Roc has a wonderful location with direct access to the lake shore.
This is always a priority for me as I don't like roads and vehicles to come between me and the lake.
It is 2 1970's buildings and the owners have done their best to make the hotel feel more like an Italian Palazzo, by joining the 2 buidings together with an opulently decorated corridor. Consequently some of the decor is a little quirky eg our room was decorated in reds and yellows, so not the most restful colours, but it was spacious and airy with lovely lake views and extremely quiet.(Deluxe category with westward facing views.) Everything had been carefully thought out so there was ample storage, excellent lighting, a settee and chairs, a comfortable bed, fruit and fresh water every day with an excellent bathroom.
There is even a roaming telephone in each room to use whilst in the hotel or grounds.
The large balcony also had excellent views out over the lake and was fitted out with 2 sunloungers and a table and chairs.
Breakfast was bountiful and catered for everyone's dietary requirements. We attended the midsummer ball which was great fun but now comes the "but"... as others have said staff speak German to you not Italian and I felt uncomfortable about this. True most guests are German but staff didn't seem to like us speaking Italian to them which caused just a frisson of unease for us.

Facilities are great, the gardens are lovely, the 3 pools wonderfully warm and maintained to a very high standard, perhaps children playing could be considered a problem for some as they are inevitably noisey when splashing about.
Ascona is a short walk away and there are lots of things to do in the area but, you may not want to tear yourself away from the hotel's facilities particularly as the tariff is quite high although we felt it represented good value for money on the whole.

“Expensive”

Hotel Eden Roc

8/12 found this review helpful

view from hotel

We stayed here in October 2006. 2 adults 1 child.
We had a nice room facing the lake with a balcony. I think they called it a suite but really large room with bathroom.

The room was very comfortable and well equipped.

Overall the hotel is definitely aiming for top class - two very posh restaurants (one Italian and one French), and nice bar and pools plus all the facilities you expect sauna, gym etc.

But we can not say that that this is a great hotel. The manager made a brief appearance at the beginning and end of our stay. The food in both restaurants turned up under cooked. And it is just a bit too conservative for our tastes.

Indeed that is our abiding memory of Eden Roc - very Conservative. The staff, the food and the clientele. Definitely right place is you are Swiss-German middle class. But everyone was just a bit too controlled and regimented.

We escaped hotel for some relaxed food at Osteria Nostrana restaurant on quay front which was good.

“Really is the best”

OK, where to begin about this place. You see the "best hotel in Switzerland" plastered on their letterhead and I'm sure most just roll their eyes at the claim. Well, its true.

From the greeting to the room to the entire outdoor area, one of the loveliest complete packages around. The food was superb; even the room service veal was to die for. The children's club is terrific and use can use it as you like. The staff really complete the package. Wonderfully friendly without hovering.

Ascona is a lovely place and priced quite well when compared to other Swiss resort towns. The value is quite good. Yes the Eden Roc is expensive but not more so than a deluxe hotel in Rome, Paris or London.

Just terrific!

My husband and I just returned from Eden Roc after 3 days of genuine pampering. What a wonderful place. The staff was beyond compare, the rooms spacious, modern, and spotless with great views. The food was fantastic and the overall area was just breathtaking. By far the best place I have ever stayed. If you are looking for a great place to relax, unwind, and be treated like royalty- I would highly recommend this resort. Have fun!
