“Loewen Am See struck me as a particularly well-run four-star, where the staff anticipates every need and the restaurant operates with white-tablecloth finesse; the lake views from the rooms are, admittedly, quite lovely. It's the kind of place solo travellers will appreciate for its central Zug location and safe, welcoming atmosphere, where even the single rooms feel spacious. In my opinion, this hotel offers a seamless blend of comfort and Swiss charm.”
