Hotels in Lucerne – Lake Lucerne - Swiss Historic Hotels

Originating from seven historic houses in Lucerne's old town and mentioned for the first time as a "pinte" (restaurant) in 1517. Every year, 1-3 rooms are comprehensively renovated. Two restaurants - the rustic Burgerstube and the Sauvage restaurant (14 Gault Millau points). Two of their famous dishes are the Beef Stroganoff and Chateaubriand, both prepared at the table. The Kesselturm parking garage is right next door.

The Art Nouveau style hotel stands on a hill in Flüeli-Ranft, the workplace of the holy brother Klaus von Flue. The house was renovated for more than 2 years in compliance with national monument protection criteria, reopened in December 2011 and has now 83 rooms available equipped with the latest amenities. The restaurant "Veranda" with its picture window provides a clear view of the Sarneraa Valley and Glaubenberg ("faith mountain"). Culinary choices range from Obwalden to Swiss specialties.

The former Capuchin monastery has been transformed into an inspiring hotel; sophisticated architecture housed within old walls; 14 stylish rooms, all with a view of the Buochserhorn; top-quality box spring beds. The focus is on exquisite, alpine cuisine. Wide range of courses available, six seminar rooms, gardens. Historic dining room, comfortable outdoor seating.

The Hotel Terrasse am See was opened in 1873 under the name Hotel Rigi-Bahn. Its fantastic location right on the lake, the breakfast buffet above the lake until 11am in the Restaurant Rondel, the tranquility and views from the panoramic terrace and the evening atmosphere will transport you to another world. This holiday hotel offers the right infrastructure for a number of hobbies and is ideal for excursions, being right next to the boat landing and the Vitznau-Rigi Railway. The last major refurbishment was carried out in 2012.

Amsteg is a great place to stay to get another, quieter perspective on the Gotthard region. This unique hotel dating from 1788 has just been sensitively and stylishly restored to its former splendour, making it and its venerable speciality restaurant well worth a visit. Elegant rooms, a restaurant with fine cuisine and dedicated conference facilities make this an ideal base for guests seeking peace and relaxation while soaking up the atmosphere of days gone by.

The extensive renovation on this hotel in the centre of Flühli, steeped in history spanning 130 years, has done it a world of good: various room categories from simple to sophisticated, contemporary comfort that is in harmony with the past, and quite deliberately without a television in sight. Romantic lounges, a library, the sunny wooden veranda and a garden with babbling fountains. It’s the ideal base for excursions to the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch.
