We had a very hard time finding a good place in Lucerne for the 2 nights we were staying. It was in the summer during their annual Blue Balls festival. We booked a city view room and I am not sure that is what they gave us? We got this huge room that was on the second floor and basically... More

This was my first visit to switzerland, my wife and I were on our honeymoon and we were more than impressed with the hotel. It was clean, well maintained, the room was stunning with a beautiful view of Lake Lucerne and the bed was very comfortable (We found it tough to find a good bed in Europe). The staff at... More

The perfect hotel! The staff was so friendly and the place was immaculate. I miss the Chopard shower gel every day! The view from our junior suite was like heaven on earth and the room itself #415 was gorgeous. It was the ideal distance to everything. So it wasn't so noisy in town but not too far away that you...

We were completely satisfied with this hotel. We booked a Classic Room with a view of the lake and can only say that the view, the location on the banks of the lake, and Lucerne itself did not disappoint at all. In nice weather, there is outdoor dining on the lakeside of the hotel. Thank you to Christophe, at Reception... More

I am reluctant to put up a review of either this hotel or indeed Lucerne. I would rather keep them for myself. Lucerne is a wonderful place. It has all the things you can imagine a Swiss holiday could have: on a lake; nestled in the mountains; a beautiful river in the city; great food; excellent roads; and of course... More

I visited this hotel for 4 nights in September 2011. Typical of these very old grand hotels there are signs of decay but this is more than compensated for. The National Hotel is a fabulous historic hotel and you cannot experience the same ambience in a modern hotel. The hotel is in a wonderful location right on the lake front.... More
