Boutique Hotel La Rinascente

Hotel Rinascente was a lovely find combining the history of the Old Town with the benefit of clean clean and comfortable rooms. Although the double room was on the small side and the bathroom very compact there was plenty of hanging and drawer space and a large window with a pretty mountain view. It's close enough to the town square with a choice of restaurants minutes away but far enough away to provide a peaceful night's sleep. A quality breakfast is included to start the day. I would definitely return to this hotel so well placed you don't even need the car as you can easily travel on the complimentary Ticino Pass.

we stumbled by chance on this hidden jewel and had a wonderful time. The room was elegant, charming with Swiss style. The shower / bathroom area was a bit smallish - it really did not bother us. The breakfast was nothing less than wonderful, eggs made to perfection by order, homemade jams (do not miss the cherry jam!). What else can one ask for? my only regret is that we did not have dinner there as well. If this was the breakfast, I am pretty sure that full meals served there are a treat. BTW - the free parking area right by the entrance is most appreciated.

We stayed here for 2 nights. The hotel is in a good location, close to the train station but in a quiet area. The room was big, more than enough space for 2 of us. We enjoyed the breakfast, you could get hot food and there was a wide selection of cereal, yoghurts etc. Only point we would make is that our room could get quite still with the windows closed and there is no air con, a fan could come in handy but no issues for us with the windows being open

I am a local and had the pleasure of staying here for a few nights during a renovation. Although modernized, the old-world charm and architecture have been preserved. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the breakfast is fresh and plentiful, and the 14-point Gault Millau restaurant offers an interesting menu and local wines. The hotel is located on a quiet side street, just steps away from the Piazza Grande and within walking distance to all major sites in Locarno.

Perfect location as it is just a short walk away from the Piazza Grande and it rests in a quiet and peaceful cul-de-sac. It feels like a real escape when eating in the courtyard and enjoying a buffet breakfast and espresso in the morning. The staff were very kind and they made me feel welcome from the first moment. Easy to access by foot or by car. I miss it already! See you next year.

Location is perfect. Kindness of the staff is great. The room was clean and comfortable, no minibarbut a complementary bottle of water, that helps after a nice walk in the sun. Breakfast in the patio and really nice. I would stay here again :)

Really enjoyed our recent short stay at this charming small hotel.Service was excellent from the moment we arrived.There is a very good restaurant on site,the food was excellent- including an amazing selection of breads including one flavoured with squid ink ! This was the best meal we had during our time in Switzerland.The breakfast was also great- eggs cooked to order ,great Bircher Muesli and home made jams.The room we had was large and light, had a minibar with soft drinks and an Nespresso machine.Would definitely return if back in Ticino!|

The boutique hotel is a hidden gem, the staff, owners are very kind and proactive in servicing the guests. Breakfast buffet is very good, the ambiente special. The rooms are a bit small, but cleverly furnished.
