This property is amazing! My wife and i stayed in a duplex room and made it our home base while traveling around switzerland for 8 days. The duplex room was more than sufficient for our needs. It had great views, comfy beds and a nice size bathroom area. The staff were super helpful at every step! Whenever we needed them or asked for something they were there! The funicular worked every day that we were there as well. We walked to the chapel bridge area and train station everyday. Its an easy and safe 25ish minute walk which we enjoyed. We also enjoyed the easy trails located behind the hotel. We used them one rainy afternoon. Overall its a super lovely and beautiful hotel and we enjoy spending our trip here!

This is a really superb hotel. The room was extremely comfortable and the views of Lucerne (including from the little balcony of our room) were incredible. Everything about our stay was great, including the friendly and helpful staff (who were very welcoming of our cockapoo dog who travelled with us). Being up on the hill (with easy access via a funicular lift) also makes the hotel feel very safe and private. While it's obviously not the cheapest hotel around, we thought it was very good value for money. Highly recommended.

As always wonderful. Have been coming here every year since I was 7 years old...first time was 1971...54 years and its always like coming home. Everyone asks why I don't stay nearer the lake..this is why. It's peaceful away from the bustle and it had the best view in Lucerne.

Had a great time

My first time staying at a "Chateau". The property is beautiful, and the view of the city from your hotel room is also one of our highlights of this trip. Also, we enjoyed the bar very much. The staff of this hotel are friendly and helpful too.

Nice hotel, beautiful views, great staff, comfortable beds. Be aware if traveling in warmer months, regular rooms have no air conditioning. I find that unacceptable for high end hotel. The main purpose of hotel is to provide there guests a comfortable room to end your day with and get a goodnight rest. Can’t do that in a warm humid hotel room. Very disappointing. There suits are air conditioned only.

The hotel is amazing with a great location. We had a perfect view of lake Lucerne from our room. The lift to go down to the main town was right next to the hotel and it was easy to get to the city from there. Our room was clean, large and spacious. There was a great restaurant in the hotel and the staff was warm, courteous and extremely helpful. There was parking at the hotel as well. Would highly recommend staying here.

Unique Experience

Beautiful hotel. Lots of character and that castle-feel we hoped for. The hotel's funicular to transport you straight to town was great. All employees were very friendly and helpful. We very much appreciated the fan provided in our room as it did not have air conditioning (typical for Europe). They offered us prosecco when we checked in which allowed me to forgive the 1 stray hair we found in the shower. We would definitely recommend.
