“One of Luzern's best hotel options...top three resort hotel! 5 Star!”

This is a classic 5 Star Swiss Resort Hotel (one of the grand dames of Switz) on the shore of Lake Luzern. It is centrally, located so walking to all major points of interest is very convenient. Great views from your balcony if you have a lake shore room. Luzern is Switz's largest tourist destination, and this hotel makes it all that much more enjoyable.

“Lovely old hotel”

This hotel exceeded our expectations. When we booked the hotel through Expedia we reserved a deluxe room (one up from the basic) and the room was lovely. Overlooked the lake, with a balcony. The decor was lovely, the room spacious, and the bathroom quite large. The restaurant was very nice (we had dinner and breakfast). The common areas of the hotel were very comfortable and welcoming. The staff was very attentive. I would definitely recommend it!

“Fabulous Experience!”

The Grand National Hotel is one of the best luxury hotels we experienced during our European vacation. The room was large and perfectly spotless. The large windows in the room opened to allow the fresh lake air into the room. The view was FABULOUS of the lake and mountains. The hotel staff helped us plan outings and recommended fabulous restaurants! The indoor pool was very large and extremely well kept with a balcony overlooking the lake. Great spot!

“Aussie Traveller”

A fabulous hotel full of character and with excellent staff. Check in staff were helpful, professional and anticipated our needs. Any service request was promptly fulfilled. We were delighted with an upgrade to lake view roooms and would recommend this small indulgence especially a room with a balcony. Only minor concern was the small width and low ceiling height of a step-in shower/bath - not suitable for the less flexible or tall amongst us. Location is delightful and we were enchanted with our whole Lucerne experience that the hotel contibuted to in a significant way.
