Park Hotel Vitznau

The Park Hotel Vitznau is currently undergoing renovations and is scheduled to re-open in mid-2012

If you want to enjoy resort-style living on the lake and still be within an hour of Lucerne by boat or half an hour by car, then the Park Hotel Vitznau might be your cup of tea. It has an ideal, beautiful parklike setting directly on the banks of Lake Lucerne. This is not a rustic hotel in any way. Rather, it is sophisticated with all the amenities that you would expect from a deluxe establishment—a large heated indoor-outdoor swimming pool, beauty spa, sauna, steam bath, table tennis, bicycles, and motorboats for water skiing or excursions. The lakeside setting also allows sailing, swimming, and fishing. The building is like a castle, with turrets, towers, gables, and many nooks and crannies. A beautiful lawn surrounded by gardens runs down from the hotel to the lakeshore where a promenade follows the contours of the lakefront. The setting is one of such bliss that it is hard to believe you are so close to the city of Lucerne. Inside the lobby, the lounge areas and dining room are beautifully decorated with combinations of wood beams, fireplaces, Oriental rugs on gleaming hardwood floors, green plants, and antique accents.
