Lucerne is Switzerland at its most cinematic — lake, mountains, medieval charm — all within a strollable, storybook setting. From lakeside luxury to hilltop hideaways, converted castles and characterful boutiques, the best places to stay in Lucerne reflect the city’s mix of grandeur and personality. Whether you’re here for romance, relaxation or a quick city fix, there’s a stylish base to match.
This compact city packs in plenty to explore. Start with the covered wooden Kapellbrücke, then wander the cobbled Old Town with its frescoed buildings, buzzing cafés, and independent shops. The Rosengart Collection and Sammlung Oskar Reinhart offer art lovers a fix of modernist masterpieces, while history buffs can explore Musegg Wall’s medieval towers. The lakefront promenade is perfect for a scenic stroll — or jump on a steamer cruise for Alpine views from the water. The food scene leans traditional but refined, with lake fish, fondue, and Michelin-starred dining all on offer. After dark, Lucerne comes alive with cosy bars, smart hotel lounges and occasional open-air concerts. Wherever you base yourself, being close to the heart of things means you can soak up the atmosphere — and retreat in style when you’re done.
