Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A four-star castle hotel on the lake at Merlischachen with 33 rooms, a private lakeside park and a 17th-century Swiss chalet restaurant. It suits travellers wanting a characterful shoreline base between Lucerne and Küssnacht. Dogs are accepted on request.

Up to two dogs per room for CHF 15 each a night. The Schloss-Park with its private beach is reserved for hotel guests, so check with the hotel before taking your dog onto the beach. The restaurant and bar sit in the historic Swiss chalet building. Merlischachen has a rail link to Lucerne.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
