Welcome home A tradition of hospitality The Hotel Schweizerhof Luzern opened its doors in 1845 and has been owned by the Hauser family since 1861.

Patrick and Michael Hauser are the fifth generation to run the hotel. They inherited the tradition of hospitality and, together with Hotel Director Clemens Hunziker and team, they endeavour to put it into practice in the highest sense of the world. The hotel itself is a historical building with historical décor, an ultramodern infrastructure and, naturally, the high aspiration of “Empathy & Excellence”.

Lucerne – your “Festival City” The impressive location on the enchanting Lake Lucerne with stunning views of snowcapped mountains is as much of the attraction as the charming “City of Lights”.

As a world-famous tourist destination, Lucerne is characterised by its sense of tranquillity and inspiration with an unparalleled wealth of attractions. Lucerne is looking forward to your visit.

Yesterday and today 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. Mark Twain stayed here during his travels through Switzerland and wrote about it. A long history awaits you here – and you can soon become a part of it.

Zeugheer Hall On 1 June 1865, when the ballroom designed by Leonhard Zeugheer (1812 -1866) first opened its doors, Empress Eugénie, wife of Napoleon III, praised it saying that there was no prettier ballroom in all of France. Not much has changed since then, and today more than ever the hall exudes the splendour of the new renaissance style. But warn your speakers: the beauty of the Zeugheer Hall can leave one speechless!
