We enjoyed the gorgeous lake views from our hotel patio and the peacefulness of the place. The lounging chairs and room were comfortable. However, we didn't find anything that we wouldn't expect from a 5*...in fact, the rooms could be rated 4* for their rather small size. There was no bidet in the bathroom; the 400+ CHF nightly rate does... More

Dear heiranig Thank you very much for your review. We are happy that you enjoyed our wonderful lake view from the room. We understand that the 10 Minute foot walk to the city centre may seem long, but on the other side, our lake view rooms are located directly on the lake, without any disturbing cars in front of the...

Palace Luzern not only has great location with some breathtaking views but also outstanding service. The staff was not only courteous but genuinely interested in making you stay comfortable. We stayed their with our kids and the entire family had a great time, overall it was a great experience. I would strongly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Luzern.

I stayed here in a deluxe room while on a business trip to Switzerland. The views of the lake were breathtaking, and the room itself was extremely large, especially by European standards, and even had a balcony. Likewise, the service was excellent, with the staff attentive and courteous. Unfortunately, this place is also very, very expensive. Expect to be overcharged... More

Walking down to the hotel from the Chaple Bridge set the scene for a special experience. The hotel staff were a delight and having a lake view room was the icing on the cake. Am looking forward to the day I can return. Had room service for dinner one night and the service and presentation were amazing.

I stayed here in June 2012 with two teenaged Grandchildren. The Accommodations were spacious and the location is unbeatable. All Hotel personnel were warm and gracious...and the Breakfast Buffet was delicious. We walked to everything including the Train Station for our arrival and departure. It was a pleasure to experience this magnificent Hotel in this fabulous city.

Dear MarmaTo12 It was a pleasure to welcome you and your grandchildren at the HOTEL PALACE. In 1906, when the hotel was built, the owner bought the land away from the busy markets, but still in the heart of the city. That is still what our guests appreciate today: the location of the HOTEL PALACE, directly at the lakeside, but... More
