just a few steps from via nassa, the historic city center, exclusive shops, and the picturesque lakefront, stands residenza bristol, one of lugano′s most iconic buildings. set in a commanding position, this residence is renowned for its refined and elegant architecture. originally built in 1902 as a 5-star hotel, residenza bristol became a symbol of lugano′s affluent and cosmopolitan lifestyle for many decades. in 1990, the building underwent a complete renovation, transforming it into a collection of exclusive apartments, each unique in style, location, and prestige.
the unit for sale, located on the ground floor, is a duplex apartment with a surface area of approximately 230 sqm. it enjoys a pleasant view of the lake and a beautifully maintained garden in front. its excellent orientation ensures bright interiors and a warm, relaxing atmosphere. two 20 sqm/each covered loggias offer additional outdoor space that can be enjoyed all year round. the area is quiet and private, while still being just steps away from the city center.
the property, currently divided into a 3.5-room duplex and a 2.5-room apartment, can easily be combined to create one large apartment. once combined, the layout could be as follows:
ground floor: entrance hall with cloakroom, separate kitchen, spacious living/dining area with access to the covered loggia with lake view; additional cloakroom, three bedrooms – one with access to the loggia – and a bathroom (bathtub).
