On the lakeshore in Lucerne, Mandarin Oriental Palace, Luzern occupies a Belle Epoque building facing Lake Lucerne and the mountains beyond. Historic proportions, restored decorative detail and contemporary Swiss calm shape the rooms and suites, many opening to balconies or views across the water. Dining and terrace spaces take full advantage of the lakefront. Spa and wellness facilities give the grand building a more relaxed contemporary rhythm, with the promenade outside leading towards the old town, Chapel Bridge and boat landings along the lake.
