We have stayed in some pretty special places but the Grand National Hotel has been right at the top of them. The staff, especially Tim Oberli in the front office, was attentive and helpful. We would definitely recommend a stay here.
There is no better view to wake up to in the morning than at the Grand National Hotel in Lucerne.

Beautiful 'stately' hotel, right on lakefront walking path, walkable from train station (about 1km on flat terrain), many restaurants, bakeries and food options (including grocery stores) nearby, easy access to 'old' town and tourist sites, great pool/sauna with outdoor lounging balcony, friendly/helpful staff.

8/10 Good

We wanted to end our 9 day Rhine River cruise with a stay at an elegant hotel on Lake Lucerne. We booked 2 rooms for $485 each for one night at Grand National. When we checked in we were shown two rooms in the old part of the hotel street side with no AC. They were pretty but stuffy. I booked this hotel bc the website stated that this hotel has AC. We asked for an air conditioned room and were offered an upgrade of $158 each. We are glad we upgraded. Our rooms were facing the lake newly renovated and very luxurious. We ended on a good note and had a lovely view of the lake from the double Fr3nch doors and slept well on luxe bedding. The amenities in the room were wonderful. Chocolates waters and fresh fruit were so appreciated. Note. There was not a bellman present at arrival or departure to help with luggage. And the entry to the hotel is side facing and has steps.
