The ultra-modern five-star hotel is uniquely situated on the ridge overlooking Lake Lucerne and the Alps. Even the journey to the hotel is an experience: from Lucerne, the MS Bürgenstock catamaran takes you across the water, while the Bürgenstock funicular railroad takes you to the reception. Alternatively, a private jet can be rented. The 10,000-square-meter luxury spa landscape with five pools, saunas and extensive relaxation rooms is also special. The children's program is unparalleled too. Younger guests are catered for around the clock - in the children's spa with fairy manicures, the Kids Club with professional supervision, the child-friendly yoga class and at family meals in one of the seven gourmet restaurants.
