Hotel de la Paix Luzern

Hotel de la Paix Luzern is a three-star hotel at Museggstrasse 2, below the Museggmauer in Luzern, Switzerland. The Museggmauer is the medieval city wall with its towers, the most intact stretch of Luzern's old fortifications, and the hotel sits at its foot, a few minutes from the lake. From this position visitors can walk up onto the wall for views over the rooftops and the lake, or descend to the Kapellbrücke, the Reuss river and the Altstadt in a few minutes. The lakefront promenade and the Löwendenkmal are also within reach on foot. The railway station is farther away than for the hotels beside the tracks but is manageable on foot or by city bus. The area below the wall is quieter than the river and station districts, which suits travellers who prefer a calm base with the old town close by. The hotel is a mid-range property, with indicative double-room rates of about CHF 160 to CHF 300 per night depending on season. Rooms are offered as Single Rooms and Double Rooms. Listed amenities include wifi and a restaurant, so breakfast and meals can be taken on site, with menus and opening hours best confirmed directly with the hotel. No spa, pool or fitness area is listed. The service character is that of a traditional, medium-sized hotel serving leisure travellers who value location and a historic setting over extensive facilities. With a guest rating of around 4.1, the hotel is well regarded for its position and value. The setting is particularly suited to walkers and history-minded visitors who plan to explore the towers of the Museggmauer, some of which can be climbed in the warmer months, and then continue to the churches and squares of the old town. Because the streets near the wall slope gently uphill from the lake, guests with heavy luggage should plan accordingly when arriving on foot. Advance booking is recommended for July, August and the festival periods, when rooms in the old-town area sell out early.
