Zürich Kloten and Bern Belp airports are both under 80 km away, which is pretty ace for jet-setters.

Rooms

Expect a beaut selection of 27 uniquely styled rooms spread over four floors, so you’ll never feel like you’ve checked into a clone zone. Every room comes with complimentary minibar goodies and a flat-screen TV (popcorn optional). Central heating keeps things cosy, and extra beds are up for grabs if you’re rolling deep with mates or little ones. For those treat-yourself moments, there’s room service during select hours. The last spruce-up was in 2014, so things are looking tip-top inside.

Food & Drink

Enjoy the Restaurant Chateau’s Mediterranean eats for dinner—think proper posh fare without the fuss. Sip something tasty at the swanky bar/lounge, or start your day right with a cracking buffet breakfast (gluten-free and veggie options included, so no one misses out). Room service is on standby during limited hours for pyjama-dining, and there’s also a handy café plus a banquet hall for those big-deal gatherings or celebrations.

Sports & Entertainment

Kick back on the sun terrace, nab a bike for fun trips around Lucerne, or chill out in the lush garden. Little ones can burn off energy in the children’s playground while grown-ups keep things buzzing in the lounge or over a round at the bar.
