Hotel Schweizerhof Luzern, Lucerne
A warm, traditionally Swiss grand hotel near Chapel Bridge.
Hotel Schweizerhof Luzern has stood on the lakefront since 1845 and is still run by the same family, generations later. It is a warm, traditionally Swiss grand hotel in the very center of Lucerne, a few minutes' walk from the Chapel Bridge.
Family-run tradition in the very center of Lucerne.
Where you’ll be
The hotel faces the lake on the Schweizerhofquai, steps from the boat landings where paddle steamers leave for Vitznau, Weggis and the foot of Mount Rigi. The Chapel Bridge, the Old Town and the KKL concert hall are all within an easy stroll.
The stay
Rooms are classically elegant, many with views over the lake to the mountains. The hotel has a long musical history, with famous guests from the world of opera and literature, and a warm, personal style of hospitality that feels increasingly rare.
