Their English speaking skills were very good and the process was smooth. The next step was to have a ceremonious glass of wine and what a beautiful restaurant with a full separate bar and lounge area. The views are amazing of Lake Luzern and the historic area. Absolutely stunning vies and great experience. So happy Viking put us up here for our first time visit to Switzerland.

We paid $750 a night, and we had no view of Lake Lucerne. For an extra $200 a night we could…read moreupgrade to a lake view room. We declined the extra expense. This hotel was booked through Viking Cruises for the end of our river cruise. It is a beautiful hotel with really good customer service. The morning breakfast was included with our package, and it was very good. Besides the price the other complaint that I had was that the stand-alone shower was smaller than the one on our cruise ship.

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.

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!

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!

The front desk staff was friendly & helpful. I didn't have an adapter for the electricity and they have some that you can borrow and return during check out. Our room was cleaned daily. They have a very nice gym & common area. Highly recommend, as it is perfectly situated within walking distance of everything!

Truly a unique hotel! This is not a hotel for the young as X rated images grace the hotel walls and…read moreceiling! Very dark decor: black walls with red glowing bed side tables! Is this the red light district? Beyond the uniqueness of the hotel: the space of the junior suite rooms are great! Lots of room to have a party! The room have two big windows: windows face beautiful downtown and a big clock that goes off on the hour! As for comfort: the beds are big but horribly uncomfortable! The shower is small but of course there is a big bath! As for food: the breakfast is horrible! I couldn't even stomach the food! The best thing about the hotel is location! Hotel is right next to a cute park and restaurants! Also the hotel is very close to train station. You can walk to the train station! Also the staff at the front desk are very helpful! Five stars for the front desk staff!

Reservations and arriving: Made via message online or a call; we did so as part of our stay at the Hermitage. When checking in, the front desk was very gracious noticing that we had an upcoming reservation and called ahead letting the restaurant know that we are running a little bit late due to the check-in process. Rooms: We were personally shown to our rooms, and we really appreciated the walk-through. There are lounge areas including the bar area behind the front desk, and some quiet lounge chairs outside overlooking the lake, and inside with a pool table and additional seating. Clear warnings of possible mosquitos so we definitely appreciated the heads up before opening the windows in the evening! Stunning views of Lake Lucerne with generously sized rooms, and effort to be eco-friendly, and kind service. Food: Brunch was buffet style with plenty of seating and lots of variety. Loved the natural or firmer honey choices, bread choices, fruit, chia pudding, yogurt, boiled eggs, sausages, drinks, etc available all with lakeside covered seating options. Took one star off for a dinner experience with the associated restaurant Hermitage. Amenities: Spa area includes changing rooms and sauna rooms, no hot bath area or pool so this is for relaxation and also some private rooms are available. Water sports can be arranged with the front desk. Great stay that was quiet and polite and easily accessible in Lucerne!
