What our guests say about us
"Excellent Stay at a Historic Lakeside Hotel - My stay at the Grand Hotel National was truly enjoyable. The hotel itself is a historic landmark with fantastic architecture, which adds a unique charm from the moment you arrive. The rooms are beautiful, very comfortable and offer a great view of the lake. Everything is spotless and well maintained.
The staff deserve special praise. Everyone I met, from the reception team to the restaurant staff and the housekeeping team, was exceptionally kind, attentive and professional. Their approach really made the stay feel welcoming.
The hotel bar is another highlight, with excellent cocktails and live piano music that creates a very pleasant atmosphere. Breakfast is rich, tasty and served in a lovely setting.
Overall, a high quality hotel and an easy recommendation for anyone visiting Lucerne."
