Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
A grand 1870s five-star hotel on the Lucerne lakefront, founded in the era of Cesar Ritz, with lake-view rooms, an indoor pool and a bar. It suits travellers who want traditional luxury on the promenade near the Old Town. Dogs are welcome and, unusually, are allowed in both the restaurant and the bar. A refundable per-night deposit applies.
