Perched on a hilltop high above shimmering Lake Lucerne, the Bürgenstock Hotel is part of a modern, luxe spa resort offering exceptional views of the lake below.
The most elegant of the resort’s four hotel offerings, it includes access to a golf course, three enormous spa-and-wellness facilities and eight different restaurants, bars and lounges. Inside the glassy modern building, orchids, polished walnut floors and sleek contemporary furniture create an understated yet opulent atmosphere throughout.
All of the rooms are large, with floor-to-ceiling windows that widen the views either of the lake or over the hills and meadows leading to the Alps. The rooms and suites offer double bathtubs, two-sided fireplaces and views from the tub as well as the bedroom.
The restaurants include fine dining Asian cuisine at Spices Kitchen & Terrace, the chic, Michelin-star RitzCoffier and a more causal, traditional menu in the chalet-like Taverne 1879 Restaurant.
The Bürgenstock Hotel and its surrounding resort are the height of stylish indulgence. Its setting high above Lucerne and its extensive offerings make it a one-of-a-kind hotel.

Rooms
All of the rooms and suites are spacious, with panoramic windows. The natural light floods in on the cool, neutral tones of the urban-chic decor. A double fireplace faces both the sleeping area and the bathroom.

The Spa Suite includes a private sauna and exclusive massage room, and some of the larger suites include private loggias or rooftop terraces for further enjoying the views.
