The hotel was nicely situated from the train station. The view of Lake Lucerne was simply stunning from our room. The staff was quite helpful and the facility is well kept!
A wonderful hotel in a beautiful location on the shore of Lake Lucerne. Room was well equipped, spacious and clean with stunning views over the lake. Staff were polite and very helpful. Excellent dining options available both in the hotel and within walking distance.
The staff really made our stay fantastic! Wonderful room and a lovely note to my wife on her birthday. We'll definitely make this hotel our go to place in Luzern!!
One couldn’t hope for a better hotel in Lucerne! From the huge room with giant windows and Juliette balconies overlooking the lake, to the incredible architecture of the building, the modern spacious bathroom, and the incredible service and hospitality of the staff, this property is 10/10 in every way. Highly recommend!
Fantastic location. The views across the lake are superb. The breakfast was so delicious. The staff were always very helpful and friendly. The spa was great- I had a very rel
Great hotel. Excellent food options! We were very impressed with the food at the brasserie. Our room was perfect and we loved the layout. Our only complaint iwas that they shut the bar down for a private party at 10pm. We found that very odd and disappointing that we couldn’t have a night cap at our hotel. But it was obviously not the end of the world. We felt they should have rented out a private spaces to the group and not block hotel guests from using the hotel bar.
Beautiful old hotel in walking distance to the major sights. Excellence service from front desk and other staff.

Beautiful building perfect location. It is an expensive hotel so we expected a bit more. Seemed like for a 5 star Luxury hotel, the hotel was understaffed. There was no one to assist with bags up the cobbled flight of front stairs either on arrival or departure. The hotel bar was understaffed on a Saturday evening. The poor bartender got called outside to do a “wine service.” He had to leave the bar unattended and there was no support staff- the bar was filled with used barware and tables had used dishes on them. We waited 25 minutes for his assistant to come in. The poor assistant didn’t know where to find a bottle opener. Several guests just gave up and left. This is certainly not the staff’s fault. I point these things out because for the price of this hotel, they should do better. In sum, while the property is lovely and the room nicely appointed, the service is not close to 5 star.
