The Mandarin Oriental Luzern is a lovely hotel with adequate air conditioning unlike many of the most luxurious Swiss hotels (those above a certain altitude supposedly are precluded from installing air conditioning by law). So, if you need a cool room to sleep and are traveling during the summer months, this is a safe selection. Although pricy, it is worth it. The rooms are state-of-the-art and are immaculately maintained and seem completely soundproof. The hotel is located right on the promenade and the lake, and most rooms seem to face that direction, and therefore they are not located above the busy street on the opposite side of the hotel. Note that the hotel’s Michelin star restaurant is closed during the summer. The staff and facilities are top notch, and the spa (ask for Max the female manager) is intimate and excellent.

This 5-star hotel was absolutely fabulous. The staff were absolutely amazing,courteous, friendly and welcoming. The morning breakfast buffet was one of the best I’ve ever seen. We were upgraded to a suite and could have lived there. Situated on Lake Luzern it is close to many tourist spots and great eating venues.

Beautiful hotel. Recently renovated. Sheets were excellent, bathroom was great. View of lake is wonderful. Gym was also very nice. Proximity to city was convenient. Quiet hotel. Did not try restaurants for dinner but did have breakfast and it was very good.
