A lovely place to stay! It was extremely comfortable, and the location was great. They even gifted us chocolates in our room upon arrival. I would recommend to stay there on a Saturday, so you can shop in the market for breakfast. Hotel breakfast is available, but I would pass on it, the strawberries I had from the market were the best I've ever eaten. If you drive, there are very clear instructions for how to arrive, as the road turns into pedestrian only. The rooms were very comfortable, and we loved the view from our balcony of the river and old city. Such a charming place with a very friendly staff!

Centrally located, close to everything and with lots of dining options. The hotel restaurant was excellent also. I injured my knee skiing at the Jungfrau region and the staff was able to provide a wheelchair and found a lake view room so I can better enjoy my stay.

Tremendous hotel in the heart of Luzern. Close to many shops, restaurants, bridges and so much more. Incredibly friendly service. The bar was an awesome option after a full day of walking or sightseeing. A beautifully designed and highly functional room. We can't wait to visit the area and stay here again.
