About the Hotel

Historic Design Hotel

Hotel America is a fully renovated historic hotel in Locarno's old town, directly on Piazza Grande. Named after the Locarno Film Festival, it hosts celebrities annually. The hotel features 18 design rooms in four categories, each with unique decor, high-speed Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and keyless entry. Some rooms include balconies with city views.

Onsite Dining & Bar

The hotel houses one of Locarno's oldest restaurants, Caverna degli Dei, serving traditional Ticinese dishes like Coniglio con Polenta and Fegato con Rösti. Live piano music accompanies dinner. Breakfast is served in Sala degli Artisti, surrounded by Hollywood memorabilia. The bar offers local and international wines, with degustation sessions available.

Wellness & Massage Therapies

Guests can book Ayurvedic, classic, lymphatic drainage, shiatsu, and reflexology massages. The Spicy Wellness treatment uses aromatic spices for relaxation. Breath Therapy and Chakra balancing sessions are also available. The hotel does not have a spa but provides in-room wellness services.

The hotel is steps from Piazza Grande, the Locarno-Madonna del Sasso funicular (0.5 km), and the Centovalli Express train (0.3 km). Nearby landmarks include Ghisla Art Collection (0.5 km) and Termali Salini & Spa (1 km). Parking is available at Fevi or Lido Locarno, a 10-minute walk away.
