This is one of the best hotels at which I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying. It’s beautiful, has several restaurants if you want to stay on property, the staff is fantastic and the location is perfect for walking everywhere you’d want to go in Lucerne. Highly recommend!!!

Great location. Walkable to downtown but not so close that it's too busy. View is amazing. This is a historic hotel, so the layout is a little dated, but that's part of the fun. Room was fantastic. We didn't go to the restaurants/bar that often but when we did they were good. By far the highlight is the staff who are very friendly and helpful. They gave us great tips on where to visit and how to do things. This was important since it was our first trip to Switzerland. If/when we go back to Lucerne we will definitely stay here again!

Not a top notch stay this time
A short stay again and mostly top notch. Two areas that were not include pop music played by the Brasserie that could be heard from my room above and notably smaller breakfast selection.

What an overpriced hotel!! We had a lake view room - that we paid for! We ended up with a horrible small room with no view. They did nothing to make up for having to move to that kind of room. The room was on the other side of the hotel and if we left our room key wouldn’t open the main door!!! They acted like they were doing us a favor. You could clearly tell that room was never used because the water came out brown. You know when the pipes haven’t been used in awhile. Plus there was a company Christmas party and it was so loud. Because of this company party there was no room service or anything!!! We were able to Get a bottle of wine. When we checked out they charged us like 90 Francs for a bottle of wine that was 19.99 at the wine shop across the street. He even had the nerve to tell me he sent us the cheapest bottle they had. I kid you not he said that to me. Highly disappointed in the hotel.
