Hotel Schweizerhof Luzern

About the venue

Tradition that transcends history: five generations of hospitality.

We would like to acquaint you briefly with our building. It was built in 1845 and, in terms of art history, is one of the few hotels in Switzerland of national significance. Its original architecture has been preserved, and the interior design of the rooms is incomparable. As a result of the renovation in 1999, the Hotel Schweizerhof Luzern once again reflects all the splendour of the 19th century, while also providing an infrastructure which accommodates everything needed for today’s modern hotel operations. Emperors and empresses, queens and kings, writers and musicians have all been guests at the Hotel Schweizerhof Luzern. Tolstoy wrote one of his works here; Wagner completed “Tristan and Isolde” and also met Ludwig II here. A long history awaits you here: a history which is also our family history. The Hotel Schweizerhof Luzern has been owned by our family since 1861, and we are the fifth generation to run it. The principle of hospitality was passed on to us as our legacy, and we endeavour to put it into practice in the highest sense of the word. If you feel at home at the Hotel Schweizerhof Luzern, and if we are able to welcome you back again and again, then we—Clemens Hunziker, Director, and staff—have achieved our goal. Welcome home.
