For lovers of Historic Hotels
The former Hotel Rigibahn was built in 1873 by the Vitznau-Rigi Railway and extended in 1930 to its present form. A striking feature is the "Berger Annex", the Bauhaus style Restaurant Rondel that swings out over the lake and was originally designed to be the first dancing hall on Lake Lucerne. The Rondel still has all its original furniture from 1930.
For lovers of Typically Swiss Hotels
Vitznau is situated at the very heart of Switzerland on the shores of Lake Lucerne and at the foot of Mt. Rigi.It was here, in 1871, that Europe's first cog railway went into operation. The railway still runs today, taking guests up to the top of the "Queen of the Mountains".
The majestic paddle steamers on the lake also date back to the pioneering days of tourism. Now, as then, visitors to this part of Switzerland are invariably overwhelmed by its ever changing scenery, idyllic beauty and proximity to Lucerne.
