Heart of Lucerne at Hotel Des Balances

Riverside Serenity

The peaceful riverfront Hotel Des Balances is one of Lucerne’s finest hotels, offering its guests a mix of fabulous views, warm hospitality and elegant, upscale accommodation.

Spectacularly set amidst the snow-capped mountains and beautifully preserved medieval buildings, Hotel Des Balance enjoys a superior location in Lucerne’s old quarter directly on the Reuss River. The city’s top attractions, from the iconic Chapel Bridge to the Lion Monument and 17th century Church of St. Leodegar, are all just a stone’s throw away. A seasonal menu is served in the hotel’s stylish restaurant, featuring local delicacies and a shaded terrace for alfresco dining on the river.

With a history dating back to the 12th century, the property is steeped in historical charm and has hosted everyone from George Bernard Shaw to the Dutch Queen Wilhelmine. All the guestrooms were completely renovated in 2008, bringing a modern touch to the property’s traditional charms. Reminiscent of a Venetian palace, the hotel’s intricately painted facade is one of the most photographed sights in Lucerne.

“THREE HOLIDAYS IN AND STILL HIGHLY RECOMMEDED”

Dan Mills organised perfectly a challenging itinerary to incorporate a wedding we were attending in Kathmandu. A fantastic balance of trekking, rafting, safari, sightseeing and R&R. This was our third holiday with Ultimate Travel and we cannot recommend highly enough

“YES TO ULTIMATE – AND YES AGAIN”

This was our second big trip with The Ultimate Travel Company – and we’d happily use them again and again. The customer service is excellent: they really listen to what you want and make it happen. Their on-the-ground support, wherever you’re headed, is just as strong. Everything was seamless. Highly recommend.

“EXPERTLY TAILORED, EFFORTLESSLY ENJOYABLE”

We travelled to Indochina in January/February with an itinerary designed by The Ultimate Travel Company – and it was spot on. Rob, our consultant, really understood what we were looking for and created a journey that suited us perfectly. The choice of hotels was excellent, and the pace was just right, with enough time built in to relax and recharge between the different experiences. The service throughout was professional, personal and thoughtful – exactly what you want from a travel specialist.
