“In my opinion, what sets this Lucerne hotel apart is its devotion to personalized service and a genuine family-friendly atmosphere. The location is superb for accessing the Old Town, and I particularly appreciate the thoughtful extras like the included travel cards. Balconies with river views, though not ubiquitous, provide a lovely perspective on the city.”
