About Cosmos Hotels Sopo
A land purchase back in 1928 was the beginning of one of the biggest travel companies in the world. Cosmos Hotels began its simple roots in Lugano, Switzerland and became one of the biggest names in the hotel and accommodation industry in the country. The brand’s founder, Antonio Mantegazza was fascinated and inspired with the things that came with travelling. To be closer to his discovered passion, he bought a rowboat and began transporting visitors and tourists across the Lake Lugano. This small entrepreneurial start-up eventually became bigger and grew. Such growth even enticed Antonio’s friends to invest in more rowboats and help him in the expansion of his thriving business.
Fast forward to 2003, Cosmos Hotels introduced the Avalon Waterways and Monograms, an independent travel option and a river cruise, two of the latest offerings for the Cosmos hotel brand. This group, all working under the Globus Group family business has more than 32 offices in different key cities and countries in the world and serves more than 5,000 professionals that carries half a million passengers annually. With this number, the transportation and tourism company lands a spot on the leaders for guided vacations and tours worldwide.
