Hotel Vitznauerhof - SWITZERLAND



Treat yourself to an unforgettable stay at the Vitznauerhof – our renovated boutique hotel in the heart of Switzerland. Just come and relax and enjoy quiet Lake Lucerne and the stunning mountain panorama. Let yourself be pampered from head to toe in our SPA. Discover exciting haute cuisine in our three in-house restaurants, each with its own special theme.


Not only has the hotel been completely renovated but it now also features a newly designed spa area that opens straight onto the grounds and the lake. Traditional and modern styles have been carefully combined to create a harmonious whole. Indulge in the comfort of our elegant rooms and suites. 

The “Seehotel Vitznauerhof” was built in 1901, according to the plans of architect F. Kühn from Mannheim. The hotel with its Art Nouveau decor provided guests with the luxurious comfort expected of a first-class hotel in those days: a telephone service, electric light, low-pressure steam heating and attractive parklands and gardens, perfect for a gentle stroll. 


Its guests included many famous names such as Hermann Hesse, Richard Strauss, General Henri Guisan, Paul Klee and Princess Gina of Liechtenstein, who sometimes reserved a whole floor for herself. One hundred years after it was built, the “Seehotel Vitznauerhof” won the Historic Hotel of the Year award. The jury's report points out the sensitive renovation of the overall hotel and the care with which new features were incorporated in the public areas. 



In August 2005, the Lake Lucerne region was hit by devastating floods, which largely destroyed the hotel and its grounds, forcing the closure of the Vitznauerhof. When works on the renovation and extention of the hotel began in 2009, special attention was paid to preserving the building’s historic fabric and many attractive details, such as paintings and stucco work, were architecturally highlighted in a skillful way. All rooms and public areas were given a modern, open and light feel. A brand-new feature is the Vitznauerhof’s spacious spa with more than 900 square metres of facilities that open straight onto the grounds and include an inviting outdoor whirlpool.


All 53 rooms offer highest standard. The impression is one of modern clear-cut lines,natural light, elegant colour combinations and a careful eye for detail. The very best materials have been used to create charming, stylish rooms that offer breathtaking views of the lake and mountains.
