We loved it here! It was the perfect spot to enjoy all that Lake Lucerne has to offer, with beautiful lake access and close enough to enjoy the energy and sights of the city. We didnt realize until half way through our stay we could ride the #24 bus for free (included with hotel reservation) into town and to the transportation museum. Definitely make sure you ask for the print out. The rooms are lovely, the food in the restaurant is DELICIOUS, especially the dinner. Everyone who worked there was so kind. There is even a trail to visit a beautiful non-touristy castle that has an adorable little cafe- must visit! They will tell you the way. Make dinner reservations for around 8 so you can watch the sunset! Gorgeous!

Pro: Balcony room was one of the best I’ve even been to, spacious, clean, and amazing view. Good location, close to the city, yet also in the edge of it where it quiet and peaceful. Con: Required 100 CHF per night deposit, which was not mention on their Expedia page and they promised to update their Expedia page. The hotel offer some excellent lake services (private boat, pedal boat) which was not mentioned, we even asked to different employees at the reception but they were not able to offer what they have, one of the receptionist went to actually look for private boats services from the city instead of offering they have at hotel, we ended up accidentally learning about what they have and asked for it. The hotel can do a lot more by making their guests aware of the special services they already have. Also, one before out check-in we coordinated with the hotel and got a confirmation for a room on the 2nd floor, but upon arrival we got the room on the second floor instead. P.S. the hotel is composed of two building (old and new) our room category was in the new building, which seemed to be better.

The hotel advertises as a Spa but they had no spa services available to book, nor would they bring in anyone to provide them. we had to go to another hotel. The price was very high for the value. The staff was great. The beds were the best we found in Switzerland. The room was beautiful.

Avoid. Bad service and amenities you can’t use.

Very underwhelming and it’s advertised much better than it actually is. During our 4 night stay they hosted 1 wedding, a birthday party and 2 corporate events. During this time we couldn’t use a lot of the facilities - so don’t think you’ll be getting access to the beach club whenever you want, or other amenities for that matter. Unfortunately it was the service that was the worst part. The beach club waiter was flat out rude and the reception/ management did nothing after our complaints - they really don’t care. We left with a pretty ill feeling towards the hotel which wasn’t what we expected when paying £600 a night. Really not worth the price tag - just avoid!

Every room has a beautiful lake view and air conditioning. Our room was spacious and cool, the bed was comfortable and everything was very clean. The staff was extremely accommodating and helpful, and their English was perfect. They helped us make transit plans for going to Mount Rigi, and they made many calls for us when we were trying to locate my lost sunglasses. They were very friendly and nice and amazing! For a hotel at this price point, the breakfast was just good but not extraordinary - they had all of the things you would expect, but not more. The mini bar was not free. The restaurant options were very limited during the day, and the beach bar was closed for the full day one of the days we were there. The spa was minimal, but clean, and there were very few spa appointments available, only in the morning and for one person at a time. Also, it's a bit far out of town, so you have to take the 24 bus everywhere, which only comes every 12 minutes.

You may revisit your policy with the property as they seem to treat your members differently. When we requested for a better view room not upgrade they told us you booked through Expedia which is the cheapest room and that’s not a great customer service. They helped nothing with the local sight seeing tours or guides to connect with local sightseeing. Overall not recommended for tourists who are looking for a better stay and experience.
