Hotel des Balances, Lucerne
Why this hotel? Excellent cuisine and an Old Town setting

Open all year

This elegant hotel is ideally situated between the Old Town and the River Reuss with views of the wooden Chapel Bridge and historic water tower. The original building dates from the 13th century and its magnificent façade is one of the most photographed landmarks in Lucerne. The tastefully modernised interior boasts an exceptional restaurant which has been awarded 14 prestigious Gault & Millau points and prides itself on fresh seasonal creations accompanied by an excellent wine list. The adjoining terrace is a real joy with its wonderful views overlooking the river. The comfortable bar and lounge offer you an ideal spot for relaxation and the opportunity to enjoy a light meal or a refreshing drink.

The Des Balances is highly recommended and Peter Büsser and his team look forward to welcoming you.
