Hotel Wilden Mann

Originally a bar and tavern before converting to a hotel, the Hotel Wilden Mann is one of Switzerland’s most tradition-steeped locales, having been in continuous operation for exactly 500 years!

Because the facility has been consistently remodeled, renovated, and repurposed over that time, the present day Hotel Wilden Mann is in itself a twisting, turning, and simply gorgeous tour through the history of Lucerne, Switzerland.

 

Why should you stay here?

One might suppose that with 500 years to tweak and refine a hotel, the result would be pretty close to perfect. And in the case of Hotel Wilden Mann and its gorgeously crafted 48 guest rooms, one would suppose correctly!

Guests will truly feel like the king or queen of their own Swiss castle as each guest room is supplied with completely unique furniture and accessories, from beautifully stained wooden armoires to ornately embroidered curtains and linens!

CASCADA Hotel

Conveniently located near many of Lucerne’s top attractions, the CASCADA hotel is a spunkily designed 66-room space that exudes a more modern pan-European feel than some of the more classically Swiss hotels on this list.

For a great example of the CASCADA’s unique personality, check out the paella cooking course at CASCADA’s own award-winning Bolero Restaurante!

 

What choose this luxury Lucerne hotel? 

More so than its funky design or activities, the CASCADA hotel is a great choice because it has one of the most enviably convenient locations in all of Lucerne.

With blue-chip Lucerne attractions such as the wooden chapel bridge, Lucerne Town Hall (built in the early 1600s), and the Loewenplatz (Lucerne’s famed town square), all just steps away, you’ll have plenty to keep you entertained both inside and out of the CASCADA!
