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.
