Hotel is very centrally located, making everything you want to see very walkable. The restaurant/bar/lounge was lovely too and the welcome glass of prosecco was a nice touch.

Staying at Hotel Des Balances in Lucerne was an absolute delight. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by its charming atmosphere and warm hospitality. The view of the Reuss River and the iconic Kapellbrücke from my room was simply breathtaking. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was comfortable and memorable, and the attention to detail in the elegant décor was impressive. Dining at the hotel’s restaurant was a culinary experience I won’t soon forget, with delicious dishes served in a picturesque setting (Michelin star). Overall, my time at Hotel Des Balances nothing short of magical and looking forward to returning.

One of the most beautiful hotels I’ve ever stayed in! Really made us love Lucerne right off the bat. If you can get a room with a river facing view- you need to! Could’ve spent all day on the balcony.
