Hotel Splendide Royal in Lugano has four meeting rooms on the lakefront, the largest taking up to 300 people, and the official site lists dedicated sections for conferences, weddings and banquets. It is a five-star hotel at Riva Antonio Caccia 7, part of the Roberto Naldi Collection.
Seminars and company events
The hotel's event offer is organized around four rooms. Panorama is the largest, measuring 20.1 by 12.3 meters, with a view of the lake and Monte Brè and a winter garden. It takes up to 300 people. Azalea measures 16.6 by 9.2 meters, takes up to 160 people, overlooks a small green space and has an outdoor area for breaks.
Blu measures 14.6 by 9.1 meters and opens onto a terrace with lake views. The site gives no capacity for it. Lago is a small room of 7.4 by 3.8 meters with a large window on the lake, suited to about 18 people. The official page does not give capacities by layout, so request theater, classroom and banquet figures when you ask for a quote.
The hotel also lists a Leaders Club among its offers for business guests. The site does not describe it in the pages we read.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel has a wedding section and a banquet section on its official site. Neither gives details in the pages we read, such as guest numbers or menus. The larger rooms, Panorama and Azalea, are the likeliest fit for a reception, and the terraces of Blu and Azalea add outdoor space. Ask the hotel for the figures for dinner seating before you plan a wedding.
Rooms and capacities
Panorama holds up to 300 people and Azalea up to 160. Lago holds about 18. Blu has no stated capacity. All four rooms are on the same official page, which is hosted on the website of the Roberto Naldi Collection, the group that owns the hotel.
Accommodation
The hotel offers rooms and suites in several categories: junior suites, lake-view suites, Executive Deluxe, Executive Superior, Palace Deluxe, Palace Superior and Palace Prestige. The site does not give a total number of rooms, so ask for it when planning an overnight group.
Catering
Three restaurants and bars operate in the hotel: La Veranda, I Due Sud and La Piazzetta, plus a lounge bar, the Belle Époque bar and a wine room called Il Forziere del Vino. Dining for events is handled through the banquet service.
