Hotels in Lake Lucerne

The former prison in the heart of Lucerne has become an innovative cult hotel. The only reminder that these imaginatively furnished rooms, complete with shower and toilet, were once prison cells is found in the floor plans and the bars on the windows. Whether you choose to sleep in a cell, in the former office of the prison governor or in the old library, these days Hotel Barabas offers plenty of comfort and a memorable experience for both young and old in the heart of Lucerne’s old town. Delicious breakfast with crunchy muesli and regional cheeses. Free Wi-Fi. Restaurant Izakaya Nozomi.

The Zwyssighaus Inn in Bauen received special mention because it was salvaged and carefully restored. Because of this, we now have the well-managed birthplace of Father Alberik Zwyssig, the composer of the Swiss Psalm.
