Hotel Belvedere Locarno
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Hotel Belvedere Locarno is worth booking if you want a hillside hotel with a spa, a pool and lake views reported by guests, a few minutes from Madonna del Sasso. It was the most expensive of our three Locarno picks, so book it for the facilities and setting, not for the price.

This is our Best Value pick for Locarno. It is a 4-star hotel with a guest score of 9.1 out of 10 from 1,127 reviews and a location score of 9.4. It suits couples and families who plan to spend time at the hotel: the property lists a spa, a pool, a garden, a terrace and a gym, plus family rooms. It is also tagged as pet-friendly; confirm conditions and fees before booking.
Skip it if price matters most. Guests point to high room rates, along with extra charges for parking and electric vehicle charging. In our reference sample, it cost more than both our Budget and our Luxury picks in Locarno.
Location: on the hillside
The address is Via ai Monti della Trinita 44. Guests describe a hillside setting with lake views, a short walk or funicular ride from the centre.
Madonna del Sasso is about 0.3 km away, roughly 4 minutes on foot. Visconti Castle is about 0.6 km, around 8 minutes. These are straight-line estimates. On a hillside, the actual walk can take longer, so check the route on a map.
What guests say
With 1,127 reviews, the 9.1 score is well supported. Guests praise the setting, with lake views from the hillside and easy access to the centre. Staff are described as friendly and professional, with attentive service and a warm welcome.
The main complaint is value for money: high rates, plus charges for parking and electric vehicle charging. Room size, noise and renovation condition have not been assessed by us.
Price compared with our other two Locarno picks

Hotel Lago Maggiore - Welcome!, our Luxury pick, is also 4 stars, at €198.78 per night with a score of 9.4. In this sample, our Luxury pick was about €159 a night cheaper and scored higher. What this hotel offers that our data does not show for the others is the listed spa, pool and garden, and the hillside setting near Madonna del Sasso.
