Grand Hotel National

Jump to:

The imposing Grand Hotel National, with its filigreed wrought-iron balconies and sumptuous red-and-gold lobby, sits among the hills and spires of Lucerne on the banks of the lake bearing the same name. First raised to greatness by C茅sar Ritz and once the site of negotiations of the Treaty of Versailles, the grande dame hotel evokes the heyday of Belle Epoque luxury with its sweeping staircase and impeccable service.

A jewel of the skyline for over 150 years, the hotel offers 41 luxe guest rooms, adorned in red, cream and gold with marble or parquet floors and crystal chandeliers completing the regal impression. Most rooms and suites look out onto Lake Lucerne and the Alps from balconies equipped with binoculars to help you enjoy the view more thoroughly.

The Grand Hotel National offers four restaurants, each with its own opulent style and terraces that front the lakeside promenade. It also is equipped with spa services like massage and sauna, plus the only indoor pool in Lucerne.

Your stay includes complimentary entry to the neo-Baroque Grand Casino Luzern next door.

OUR OPINION:

The elegant Grand Hotel National is where we prefer to stay in Lucerne. We love the palatial rooms and first-class service, and especially the tranquillity of the hotel鈥檚 location alongside the pedestrian-only lakeside promenade.

OUR RATING: Deluxe
