Restaurants

Enjoy the elegant and relaxed atmosphere of our restaurants, which are some of the most appealing in Ascona. The sophisticated Restaurant Room and our Grotto never fail to amaze guests with their meticulous interior design, the authentic flavours of their cuisine and the wonderful view from the spacious terrace overlooking Lake Maggiore and the gently rolling hills. The terrace, with its unmissable view, and the pergola, surrounded by luxuriant private gardens, guarantee an unforgettable dining experience.

The restaurant will reopen on March 1, 2025

Bar

The Hotel Ascona’s wonderfully elegant bar is the perfect place for a relaxing break or a drink with friends. The eye-catching interior wall of natural rock, which forms part of the Monte Verità, acts as a backdrop to this enchanting setting, ideal for whiling away the hours at any time of day or evening. The bar continues outside, beneath a wisteria-clad pergola with views over Lake Maggiore.

Breakfast 

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, which is why the Hotel Ascona offers guests a rich buffet packed with sweet and savoury options.

You can try all sorts of baked goods and small pastries, a vast selection of dairy products and jams, and also eggs, cold meats, cheeses and seasonal fruit.

What’s more, guests can order from an à la carte menu with a selection of delicious hot dishes freshly prepared by our chef. On request the hotel is also able to cater for special dietary requirements.
