Very strategic, romantically located next to the lake. We got the room (i think all rooms) facing the lake. Ambiance is very nice. I strongly recommend this hotel.

The staff was very generous and nice to work with! If you are traveling from the states, make sure to ask for extra pillows as our were quite flat and the bed was lumpy. The pool, sauna, and location were worth paying for, but the room was very small overall.

I recently stayed at the Grand Hotel National in Lucerne and was very disappointed with the experience. I booked through Expedia, where the property was advertised as a VIP hotel with complimentary upgrades when available. Unfortunately, the front desk refused to honor this, offering an upgrade only for an additional fee. That set the tone for the rest of the stay. The hotel itself feels extremely dated—more like it was last updated in the 1980s. While my room was clean, everything looked old and worn, far from what you would expect at a true five-star property. Instead of feeling classic or historic, it felt tired and out of touch, like stepping back in time in the worst way. Service was also lacking. There was no one to help with luggage, and no valet for parking—again, not what you’d anticipate from a supposedly luxury hotel. Overall, this was a major letdown. Between the unfulfilled VIP benefits, attempted extortion, outdated facilities, and lack of basic five-star services, I would not stay here again and cannot recommend it to others looking for a true luxury experience in Lucerne.

From start to finish, we loved our stay at this beautiful hotel. The staff were all so incredibly welcoming and helpful, and always had a pleasant greeting. Just a few minutes walk along the lake from the train station, as well as shopping and dining options in old Lucerne, we never required transportation. The hotel itself is elegant, and very picturesque. The rooms were clean, comfortable and very quiet. Highly recommend!

A real mix of a review. Arrival, unloading, reception staff, room - all very pleasant. We chose to eat in one of the advertised restaurants within the hotel. The Chinese. we accessed it from outside the hotel from the garden area overlooking lake. We hadn't realised this is the only route because when the rain came on very heavily we had no way back into hotel without getting soaked as we hadn't taken jackets or umbrellas earlier. Food & staff however were both excellent. The downside of report comes when we left restaurant and eventually got to the bar we waiting by door and were acknowledged by waitressing staff making eye contact. We were then left standing for at least 5 minutes with no interaction (& we weren't the only ones that evening we noticed). We eventually went over and asked for a table but she was indicating no availability yet mist tables were empty. Supposedly being kept for other guests coming in from the attached restaurant. When we commented her response was to put out reserved signs. We pointed out we were also residents so should have some priority. A table for 2 was available and spare seats available so we asked for that which we got with a comment. We did get drink menu's, but then had to ask after long wait for order to be taken. A further long wait we got our drinks probably some 35-40 minutes after arrival. At no point did the bar become full and there were many tables that never did get occupied.
