The Best Boutique Hotels In Lucerne Switzerland

Discover the best boutique hotels to stay in during your visit to the picturesque city of Lucerne in the heart of Central Switzerland – bookable on Culture Trip.

1. Chateau Gütsch

Hotel

You’ll come to the five star Chateau Gütsch for a taste of extravagance, but end up staying for the stunning panoramic views of the city and Lake Lucerne from both the restaurant’s terrace and some of the rooms. The hotel is housed in a former private residence that was built towards the end of the 19th century and its careful refurbishment and decoration transports you seamlessly back to this era.

2. Weisses Kreuz

Boutique Hotel

The Weisses Kreuz is where to go if you want to enjoy a couple’s break as it’s an adult only hotel. The rooms range from small and cosy to elegant and luxurious. Whatever your budget you’ll find something to suit and won’t be disappointed. The hotel is as central as can be with the main attractions of Lucerne only a short walk away. The Weisses Kreuz restaurant, serving Chinese and Italian cuisine, also lays claim to the best pizzas in town.

3. The Hotel Lucerne

Hotel

Although its name suggests that The Hotel is a rather simple and basic affair, you shouldn’t be fooled. Each of its 30 rooms are artfully decorated, with renowned French architect Jean Nouvel behind the design of many of them. Not to mention it’s only a few steps away from the city’s old town, including the famous Chapel Bridge and the Culture and Convention Centre. Around the hotel there is a vibrant café and restaurant scene, as well as plenty of bars to have a quiet drink. The Hotel is perfect for passing through on a flying visit or as a base to explore Central Switzerland in depth.
