For lovers of Design & Lifestyle

Fascinating contrasts full of inspiration: Trendy bar with stylised interior, medieval walls with contemporary fabrics, elegance with nonchalance. The rooms are decorated tastefully and with understated elegance in warm, natural tones. The suites have free-standing Jacuzzis, and some have a steam shower and an infrared sauna. A view over the river.

For lovers of Typically Swiss Hotels

Des Balances has all Lucerne at its feet! Thanks to its location, the hotel makes a perfect base for shopping and sightseeing tours, besides having plenty of attractions of its own.

The history of the building dates back to the twelfth century and proves it to have been a popular meeting place throughout the ages, even if it did not become a hotel until 1837.

The painted facade is one of the most photographed motifs in town and viewed from the river Reuss, gives it the flair of a Venetian palace.
