We first try to get seated at the restaurant patio around 3pm but the host said that we weren't allowed to have only drinks on the patio and pointed us to the "American Bar" I'm not sure why they called it that as it as there was no signage indicating that was the bars name. Anyway, I digress. The American bar was a great vibe and their comfy leather couches made you want to spend the afternoon drinking cocktails paired with chocolate and complimentary olives and almonds. An afternoon well spent!

A short walk across the famous Chapel Bridge. An old wooden bridge lined with art from the 1300's. I should have done a Yelp check in walking across it but forgot. Lol Schiff sits right on the Reuss River which empties into Lake Luzern. A beautiful setting with a stunning view of the Swiss Alps for a backdrop. The service was excellent. I think they can tell if you're a tourist right away and take pride explaining the menu. The Ham & cheese quiche with a nice fresh salad was delicious and delightful. It was lite and so flavorful and the Turkey escalope piccata with spaghetti, zucchini was a tender cutlet and the spaghetti with zucchini was fresh tasty. A delicious meal with a picturesque setting made this a delightful experience.

The hotel is totally walkable to town and they gave us water bottles when we checked out the next day. I was surprised that the bed was actually comfortable and there was good water pressure in the bathroom. I would def stay here again! Rooms are small but this is Europe, so that should be expected.

This is a 5-star hotel all the way! Hotel Schweizerhof Luzern is one of the most beautiful and…read morenicest hotels I've stayed at. Its location is primo, right along the Lake. Directly across the street is beautiful Lake Lucerne. Our room was very nice, and my only criticism is the bed is too firm for my liking. However, that seems to be the norm in Switzerland, as other places were similar. I really appreciated the spa area on the 5th floor. There is a dry sauna and steam sauna plus resting areas with day beds, and showers. Additionally, the flowers and plants within the hotel were amazing. The arrangements were so nice and healthy. That was such a nice touch to enhance the beauty of the property. The breakfast provided by the hotel is also very good. I also appreciated the complimentary sparkling water and soft drinks in the rooms mini bar. The tap water is unbelievably delicious and has a nice mouth feel. It is clear the water in general is soft. After showering my hair felt soft, and using the Dyson hair dryer provided made my hair feel soft and silky. It really is the best of the best, I'm so lucky to have stayed here.

I had the best sleep of my whole vacation here. And the little surprise treats really made the time here feel special. Not to mention the location- perfectly walking distance to both the train station and the city center. Unexpected bonuses are powerful A/C and perfect sound-proofing and blackout shades. I would live here if I could!

Our room was one floor up (floor 1). We had two beds and a sofa bed. The sofa bed can be uncomfortable to sleep on. There's two big windows that help keep the room cool at night if opened. They did provide a fan in the room. The pillows were pretty flat. We all used our travel pillows. The room had a kettle with instant coffee and tea. Bathroom: Spacious. Water was always hot enough. The water pressure was great. The window in the bathroom kept it from getting too hot. They provide a combo soap for body and hair. A hair dryer is available in the room. The description of the hotel said they had laundry, but they didn't. Tips: 20 min walk to chapel bridge Bus stop #1- this takes you to mount pilatus and to chapel bridge. This is right outside the hotel door

We went there two days ago (sept 8, 2022) and there was a lady ( wish I got her name) that was super sweet and helpful. We went back today ( sept 10th) and there was a different lady that since beginning gave us the worst feeling ever. She didn't even greet us. She looked at me and my mom up and down and asked what room number, I told her the room number and she's like you know breakfast isn't included and I responded yes I know that. She said okay sit here and pointed to a table ( first red flag) then me and my mom served ourselves our food and sat down and were about to begin eating when the same lady approached me with the bill and said "can you pay now" I said "are you kidding me, no I will pay when I finish my meal thank you" And she said okay and walked away. She kept staring at me and my mother her and another boy haircut lady like if we were going to run away or something. Then this white family walked in and she greeted them with a warm hello and let them choose where to sit, she didn't take them the bill like she did to us. We paid our food and before she could walk away I let her know infront of the older guy at the lobby that her service and the way she treated was was so unprofessional and disrespectful that I was going to spread this experience on all platforms. I let her know that she judged me based on my skin, my appearance and my ethnicity. She has no idea my salary, my life style nothing and she judged me. Horrible experience! Be aware of this racist lady. She is on the heavy side and she has shoulder length hair. BE WARE OF THIS RACIST LADY.
