Our history

1920

The first generation of the name Huber connected with the hotel Lido Seegarten dates back to 1918/20 with the arrival in Lugano of the engineer Rudolf Huber and his wife Rosa Huber Sohm. Originally from Basel, they immediately fell in love with the shores of the lake and started the Seegarten guesthouse there.

2020

At the dawn of its 100 years, the hotel has undergone several transformations and modernisations. The passion for the profession and the good fortune of having a son, Francesco Huber, also a young hotelier, still motivates us to invest in new projects and to keep up to date with the wishes of our guests, as well as to continue the tradition of the family hotel.
