“A stylish, five-star hotel overlooking Lake Lucerne. Each room is individually decorated drawing inspiration from specific artists, musicians and writers. There are two restaurants to choose from and guests can relax in the hotel's spa. A great hotel for business trips.”

Hotel review

This elegant lakeside bolt-hole also offers an exciting events programme, hosting a range of live music festivals and one-off events. Set in a heritage property over 150 years old, the hotel now offers contemporary guestrooms, an extensive wellness centre and three speciality restaurants. Located a stone's throw from the city centre, it is one of the most coveted places to stay in Lucerne.

Guestrooms are loosely themed around famous guests at the hotel, ranging from Tolstoy to Wagner, and each room reservation includes complimentary access to the hotel's wellness and fitness area. Book a Lakeside Living Suite for extra space to spread out, with a separate living room and spectacular views over Lake Lucerne and the mountains.

The hotel offers three acclaimed restaurants serving international dishes; be sure to reserve a table at VILLA Schweizerhof, celebrated as one of the best restaurants in Lucerne. Overlooking Lake Lucerne, it has been awarded 13 Gault-Millau points. On a clear day, head to the sun teerrace for after dinner drinks with a view. A stylish city hotel, great for music lovers.

Hotel Schweizerhof Lucerne

'In quaint Lucerne, lakefront views come at a high premium. The best views also happen to come with the best service at the Hotel Schweizerhof, which marries poppy, colorful rooms with glamorous common areas that immediately transport guests to classic Europe. After a full day strolling Lucerne’s picturesque streets, sip Champagne in a rose petal-filled bathtub and retire to hotel’s restaurant for meals prepared by a rotating list of acclaimed chefs. There is one reason to leave the hotel, though—every night, the exterior is illuminated in different colored lights, which glimmer out onto the lake and create perfect Instagram shots.'
