3-Star Riverside Hotel Next to Chapel Bridge in Lucerne's Car-Free Old Town

Location and Surroundings

Hotel Des Alpes is a 3-star property directly on the Reuss River next to the Chapel Bridge, inside Lucerne's car-free Old Town. The Lucerne Culture and Congress Center (KKL), the main train station, and the boat landing are within a 3-minute walking distance. The hotel dates to the 13th century, and from its riverside position Mount Pilatus and Lake Lucerne are in view.

The hotel has 45 rooms, with categories that include balcony rooms facing the Chapel Bridge and rooms overlooking the historic pedestrian zone. Some rooms offer views of Lake Lucerne, the Chapel Bridge, and Mount Pilatus, while certain rooms include balconies. A spacious relaxation area with panoramic views of the Alps is available to guests.

Dining by the River

The hotel's restaurant sits directly on the Reuss River and has outdoor seating by the river. Each overnight stay includes a value voucher of CHF 18.50 that can be used for any consumption in the restaurant. The kitchen serves local and seasonal Swiss specialties, with special diet menus, kids' meals, wine, champagne, and fruits available; the hotel also has a bar and a coffee house on site.

“Hotel Des Alpes occupies a prime spot in Lucerne's Old Town, steps from the Chapel Bridge. I appreciate the river-facing rooms and their balcony views. While the breakfast setup seems slightly disjointed, the front desk resolves any seating issues efficiently.”
