Designed by the celebrated Parisian architect Jean Nouvel (Louvre Abu Dhabi), the hotel is tranquilly and centrally situated next to an adjacent park in the heart of Lucerne.The Culture and Convention Center, KKL Luzern, the historic quarter with its lake promenade and the train station are all accessible within a 5-minute walk. Completely conceived and designed by Nouvel, the interiors are an architectural marvel and bear Nouvel's classic hallmark - the interplay of wood and steel. All of THE HOTEL's vertical panels are made from wood, whilst the horizontal panels are made from stainless steel. The purposefully understated corridor leads guests into the rooms, each with large windows that open up breath-taking views of the city and the park next to the hotel. Each room is unique, with different ceiling or wall projections depicting 30 film scenes from Nouvel's own personal background, creating a cinematic experience for guests.

    A gem in Lucern!

    Our stay was incredible from start to finish. Front desk was extra helpful and granted us a status upgrade (Platinum - which doesn't always get me much). The suite was well-appointed, clean, with bedding that felt like a cloud. The biggest surprise was breakfast. The food was excellent, but what made it special was Mazzi, our daily breath of fresh air. She was warm but efficient. Her execution was perfect, even though she was running breakfast by herself most mornings. I hope she is well-taken-care-of. She's a star.

    Lovely Luzern Location

    This is a lovely hotel in the best location. We were able to walk to and from the train station with all our luggage! While the hotel is set on a main, busy street, there is a side entrance that is quieter. The lobby is small and not much there but it is clean and the front desk staff was lovely. We had a suite but really it was just a smidge larger than your average room. It was nicely decorated and all clean. The hotel does not have true “air conditioning.” They have a cooling system but you can not control the temperature. Therefore our room was not a comfortable temperature. The windows did open but our neighbors were smoking and the smell kept coming in through the windows. The hotel is in a great location, right by the river and a quick walk to the shopping area and the chapel bridge. We did not have any meals at the hotel as we were surrounded by many other dining choices. This hotel was good for a short stay in Lucern. Due to the air conditioning issue I would not stay here again in the summer.

    Terrible Experience

    I booked a King or Twin room, but I'm a platinum member and also have upgrade certificates so I requested and was given a lovely upgrade to a large suite. Yay! All great--until I went to confirm I could have two separate beds (almost every king bed in Europe is just 2 twins and I'm traveling with a platonic friend so I didn'tthink this would be an issue). The hotel said I couldn't POSSIBLY have 2 beds unless I paid $130+ PER NIGHT for a rollaway. The rollaway that they have laying around that costs them nothing, particularly since I offered to set it up myself and wasn't trying to add a 3rd person (which is why I'm guessing there's a charge in the first place). Instead of this solution, they downgraded me to a basic Twin room that is tiny and dark and dingy (peeling paint etc) with a ton of street noise. This trip is to celebrate my friend's work accomplishment and I'm EMBARRASSED to bring her to this property, which is in a worse area than the other reservation I booked. I typically choose Marriott because they treat me well (especially now that I'm a platinum member), but I'm seriously questioning that now! It's been just the opposite here. And aside from all that, it's a bad room in a bad location. I wish Id kept my original reservation but of course they wouldn't let me cancel without charging a boatload. Save yourself a headache and book somewhere else when visiting Lucerne!!

    Avoid this hotel

    If it was possible, I would like to give 0 stars or minus stars, the check in experience was one of the most humiliating experience I ever had. As Titanium member (and Lifetime Platinum member) in Marriott Bonvoy, trust me I have been in many Marriott Group Facility. I used one of the award upgrade to suite room , and get a penthouse suite where we can be three persons, therefore I bring our teenage daughter together in the trip. For 10+ years, Marriott Group hotel has treat us as value members and welcome her despite the booking is not matched. NONE of the Marriott Group hotel has ever charged us extra or even force me to sign a penalty fee ticket for extra person. I was completely disappointed and shocked. The worst is when I feedback it to the hotel, no sign of regret or improvement was found. We just stayed in Renaissance Zürich Tower Hotel, the service and attitude is impeccable, they even told us that she will let hotel that is with a teenage daughter and they take care of the rest. It is very pity, with a better management and team that can handle and treat loyal members, this facility can be a real gem in Luzern. Now it just looks good outside with awful service. Avoid it if you don’t mind to be humiliated.

    Great boutique hotel!

    This boutique hotel was in a great location across from a park, but close to Old Town Lucerne and to many good restaurants. The staff were all great, especially Simon, who was at the front desk. Our room was very large, on the corner and had a great view of the park. The bed was comfy, and the bathroom was nice and had all the amenities one needs. Breakfast was a nice selection and we ate well everyday. I would highly recommend this hotel to everyone!
