The magnificent The View Lugano is situated in a spectacular panoramic location on the heights overlooking downtown Lugano. The interior design gives the feeling of being aboard a luxury yacht suspended over the lake.

Ristorante Carignano is based in Turin inside the prestigious Grand Hotel Sitea, right in the center, a stone's throw from the Egyptian Museum and Piazza Castello. Since November 2022, Davide Scabin, one of the most distinguished chefs in the history of Italian cuisine, has taken over its kitchen reins as creative director for the entire GHS restaurant offerta. The restaurant is accessed from the halls of the hotel by following a real predefined ritual path that passes through a stop at the American Bar, where customers are invited for an aperitif. The pleasure of experiencing shared spaces, perfectly aligned with Davide Scabin's idea of the convivial meaning of eating together, will be the leitmotif of an experience under the banner of Latin "luxus," understood as an abundance of delicious things. The interior is that of a small favor, with parquet floors, light-colored wood paneling walls decorated with modern artwork, and five round, wide, spaced tables. Even th...
