I am not usually the guy who stays in "classy" hotels, specially because their prices allways look higher than my expectations, but the Schweizerhof hotel in Luzern was a quite splendid experience. The staff was very gentle all the time, internet in the rooms was complimentary, we even had an umbrella waiting for us in our room because the rainy... More

This beautiful hotel sits directly across from Lake Lucerne. It's within walking distance to the old town of Lucerne, boutiques, shops, restaurants, the city wall, the ferry and rail station. Nicely appointed rooms with beautiful views of the lake and the Alps or the historic old town, free Wi-Fi, fabulous breakfast buffet and outstanding service. Only downfall is that rooms... More

Great location overlooking the lake and within walking distance to the station, beautiful building. Nice marble lobby but quite cold in terms of atmosphere. The Bar is contemporary new design, i hope they will renovate the hotel soon with the same spirit. Rooms are very traditional, large but old fashion and sad decoration. Expensive rate for the value and experience.

The hotel is superbly located, facing the lake and within 8-10minutes walking distance from the train station. The rooms are very big, the bathroom is also very big with separate bath and shower. Service is excellent. Breakfast is reasonable, however, for the room (and breakfast) rate I would expect much better, including the possibility to order omelettes or eggs on... More
