Mandarin Oriental Palace, Luzern

Mandarin Oriental Palace, Luzern is a magnificent Belle Époque luxury hotel on the north shore of Lake Lucerne, with views back toward the Alps. The building was originally constructed between 1904 and 1906 as Palace Hotel Lucerne, restored across an extensive renovation, and reopened as a Mandarin Oriental in September 2022. SPA Bellefontaine anchors the wellness offering — a complete sequence with traditional Finnish sauna, steam bath, a well-equipped fitness centre, and treatment rooms running rituals inspired by Far Eastern traditions. Expert therapists deliver everything from calming massage to refreshing facial work in an atmosphere of quiet luxury, and the spa floor includes a sun terrace and a lush garden for the outdoor side of the rhythm. The property has four distinct restaurants, a cosy library lounge, and 136 rooms and suites with panoramic views over either the lake or the city. The Haldenstrasse position keeps Löwenplatz, the Kapellbrücke, and Lucerne's old town within easy walking distance.
