One of the Top Hotels in Switzerland
~ Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards 2017

“On the banks of Lake Lucerne, this neoclassical gem with an Art Nouveau facade of balconies and terraces is possibly the most beautiful hotel in the most beautiful spot on earth.”
Condé Nast Traveler Gold List 2010

A symphony for the senses: From awe-inspiring mountain views to world-class musical performances, from exquisite dining to rejuvenating aromatherapy baths, this is Lucerne’s “palace on the lake.”

The PALACE LUZERN is a newly restored Belle Epoque gem. This distinguished, deluxe hotel boasts a lovely garden setting on the shores of Lake Lucerne, elegant appointments, and an atmosphere rich in tradition. Many of its rooms are in the hotel’s original style, and all are outfitted with every modern convenience.

A rooftop terrace and executive lounge with spectacular views over Lucerne is available for guests of Junior Suites, Deluxe Junior Suites and Suites. Private PALACE cabin and sun beds right in front of the hotel offer warm-weather visitors the opportunity to sunbathe and swim in the beautiful waters of Lake Lucerne.

PALACE LUZERN offers spa-goers an exceptional experience at the PALACE SPA.

In Spring 2014, PALACE SPA proudly unveiled the world’s first-ever giant singing bowl. Developed through 15 years of research on the singing bowls of Asia, this extraordinary new feature employs frequencies, created by striking the bowl, to stimulate every cell to vibrate harmoniously as the spa-goer either stands in the bowl or lies suspended in a hammock above it.

The PALACE LUZERN is an ideal choice for music lovers, who appreciate its proximity to the spectacular new Culture and Congress Centre. The center’s crowning jewel is its acoustically renowned concert hall, home to the Lucerne Festival and the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra. The Palace also hosts its own chamber music performances at the hotel, and its resident pianist provides elegant accompaniment to the hotel’s exceptional dining.

Guests will also find the PALACE LUZERN an easy stroll from Lucerne’s Old Town and shops. Or, they can enjoy a round of golf at a nearby championship course. The possibilities are endless.
