The luxurious Grand Hotel National is situated proper on the shore of Lake Lucerne, only a 5 minute walk from the train station and the historic quarter.
Lucerne’s legendary luxury hotel was built in the 1870s by César Ritz and Auguste Escoffier. Today it nevertheless gives highest-top quality accommodations, culinary perfection and great musical entertainment in the National Bar.
The rooms and suites offer views of the city or the lake. Some contain Italian marble floors, walls covered with luxurious silk wallpaper, hand-woven carpets and comfy sofas and chairs upholstered with the finest materials.
From the Grand Hotel National Luzern you can see the renowned Rigi, Stanserhorn and Pilatus mountains as well as the highest peaks of central Switzerland.

Positive:
The beautiful location, helpful staff, terrific services and food as well as the lovely appearance of the hotel.
Negative:
The pillows.
Positive:
Great Location, 10 minute walk from train station and directly overlooking the lake and mountains. Friendly English speaking staff and luxurious rooms. Pricey but worth it. We upgraded to Lake View and these proved worth the extra expense.
Positive:
Position by lake, quietness, very nice room, excellent breakfast, cordial staff.
Negative:
Piano in bar too loud for atmosphere and talking. We love the piano but it was too loud, perhaps an upright piano and no speakers would be better. Shower did not work as it should-it ran hot and cold, needs adjustment.
Positive:
Beautifully appointed rooms and views of the lake.
Negative:
No spa. They indicate they have one, but it is only a pool, a tanning bed and one part-time attendant that will give you a massage, when he is not busy. The massage room is like a converted closet. For this grand hotel to call that a spa is completely false advertising. We ended up going to the hotel next door that had a real spa and will probably stay at that hotel next time. Also, the hotel was basically deserted with very few, if any other guests. However, we we asked in advance to have the courtesy vehicle that was constantly parked in front to drop us off at the train station( 5 minute drive at the most), we were told no.
Positive:
It’s just beautiful, clean, staff service helpful and friendly. At the front destk, George, Jeanette and Laura was very helpful and friendly.
