Hotel Palace Luzern, hotel in the city of Lucerne, Switzerland
Hotel Palace Luzern is a lakeside hotel in Lucerne with 136 rooms and suites overlooking Lake Lucerne and Mount Pilatus. Each room features wood floors, white walls, large windows, and Italian furnishings, while the building combines original architectural details like marble floors with contemporary design elements.
The building opened in 1906 during an era when Switzerland attracted mountain climbers and traveling nobility, and remained family-owned for nearly 100 years. After being sold in 2008, it underwent a five-year restoration and reopened as part of the Mandarin Oriental group while preserving its historical character.
The hotel brings together the grand tradition of Swiss hospitality from the early 1900s with contemporary comfort for today's travelers. Artwork by Swiss artists displayed throughout the halls connects guests to the region's artistic and cultural identity.
The hotel sits directly on the lake, providing easy access to waterside walks and boat excursions departing from nearby quays. Its central location makes it convenient for walking to the Old Town or taking the cogwheel railway up Mount Pilatus.
The hotel features a floating lake pool outside its doors, a century-old swimming facility that opens during warmer months for guests to swim and relax by the water. The top-floor Panoramic Rooftop Terrace Suite offers views from a private balcony deck overlooking the lakes and surrounding peaks.
