Altstadt Hotel Krone

Altstadt Hotel Krone is a historic hotel at Weinmarkt 12 in the old town of Luzern, on the same square as the Hotel des Balances. The Weinmarkt is one of the best-known squares of the Altstadt, with painted facades and a fountain, a minute or two from the Reuss river and the Kapellbrücke, while the railway station is about ten to fifteen minutes away on foot. The hotel belongs to the mid-range category, with indicative double-room rates from about CHF 160 to CHF 300 per night depending on season. Rooms are offered as Single Rooms and Double Rooms, and as a historic building it offers old-town character rather than modern spaciousness, so rooms may be compact. A restaurant and wifi are listed among the amenities, and the restaurant provides breakfast and meals on site, with the Weinmarkt terraces and the many nearby old-town restaurants offering further choice. The Altstadt Hotel Krone also handles check-in and breakfast for the Altstadt Hotel Magic on the Kornmarkt, which is a short walk away, so the reception serves as a hub for both properties. No pool or spa is advertised, and the appeal lies in location and atmosphere. Service character is personal and traditional, aimed at leisure travellers, couples and independent visitors who want to stay in the heart of the pedestrian zone. Visitors should note that the square can be lively on summer evenings, so light sleepers may ask for a quiet room, and that arrival by taxi to the nearest drop-off point is easiest because of the pedestrian streets. Confirm lift access and parking arrangements at booking, as historic buildings vary. Summer and festival periods such as the Lucerne Festival bring high demand. Overall the hotel offers a traditional mid-range stay on one of Luzern's most characteristic squares.
