Gorgeous view of the lake. Walkable to many restaurants, bakeries, and major shopping is right behind the hotel. Also walkable to the lion monument and the wooden bridge. So much cool architecture to check out around the hotel, not to mention the hotel itself having been built in 1845.

This is a fabulous and very elegant 5 star hotel right in the heart of Luzern overlooking the promenade and Lake. Our Lifestyle junior suite (room 044) was wonderfully clean and well maintained and is probably the nicest room we have ever had in a 5 star hotel. All the staff we encountered were extremely pleasant and most helpful too. We didn’t eat breakfast in the hotel as there were plenty of options outside but we did visit VICO restaurant for dinner one evening and both the food and service were excellent. We hope to visit again one day.
