"If you are staying here, getting a balcony is highly highly recommended - directly across the river from the Jesuit Church with the Alps in the background a view of the Chapel bridge as well."

“Hotel Des Balances impresses with its prime location in Lucerne's Old Town, placing guests steps away from the iconic Chapel Bridge. I particularly appreciate the hotel's blend of historic charm and modern amenities, including the sophisticated on-site dining. It's a treat to find family-friendly accommodations that also offer a chic, trendy bar atmosphere.”
