Hotel Schweizerhof Luzern

Hotel Schweizerhof Luzern is a family-owned five-star hotel at Schweizerhofquai 3, on the lake promenade right beside the railway station and the Altstadt. The location is among the most convenient in Luzern: the Kapellbrücke, the SGV boat piers and the main rail connections to Zurich, Bern and the mountain railways are all within a few minutes on foot, which suits visitors travelling without a car in Switzerland. The hotel combines a traditional grand-hotel setting on the quay with modern comforts, and the lakefront position gives many rooms views over Lake Lucerne. Room categories include Superior Rooms, Deluxe Rooms, Junior Suites and Suites, with indicative double-room rates of around CHF 450-1,100 per night, varying by season and view. Amenities include a restaurant, a bar, a spa, a fitness centre, wifi and a concierge desk. The restaurant and bar serve breakfast and evening dining in the hotel itself, which is convenient after a day of excursions to Mount Pilatus, Rigi or Mount Titlis, while the Altstadt offers many further restaurants a short walk away. The spa and fitness facilities give guests a place to rest between sightseeing days. Family ownership gives the service a more personal character than the international chains nearby, and the concierge can arrange boat trips, train tickets and theatre or concert reservations at the KKL. The hotel suits couples, families and business travellers who want a central lakeside address with a classic feel. Because it sits on the busiest stretch of the quay, summer evenings can be lively outside, so guests who prefer quiet may ask for a room away from the street side. Booking early is recommended for July, August and the Lucerne Festival.
