We wanted to end our 9 day Rhine River cruise with a stay at an elegant hotel on Lake Lucerne. We booked 2 rooms for $485 each for one night at Grand National. When we checked in we were shown two rooms in the old part of the hotel street side with no AC. They were pretty but stuffy. I booked this hotel bc the website stated that this hotel has AC. We asked for an air conditioned room and were offered an upgrade of $158 each. We are glad we upgraded. Our rooms were facing the lake newly renovated and very luxurious. We ended on a good note and had a lovely view of the lake from the double Fr3nch doors and slept well on luxe bedding. The amenities in the room were wonderful. Chocolates waters and fresh fruit were so appreciated. Note. There was not a bellman present at arrival or departure to help with luggage. And the entry to the hotel is side facing and has steps.

We have stayed in some pretty special places but the Grand National Hotel has been right at the top of them. The staff, especially Tim Oberli in the front office, was attentive and helpful. We would definitely recommend a stay here.
There is no better view to wake up to in the morning than at the Grand National Hotel in Lucerne.

Older Hotel with Updated Room

The room was comfortable. The bed and bedding was excellent. The bathroom was clean and in perfect condition. The carpet under the bed was a little lint ridden and could needed to be vacuumed more regularly. The hotel overall is old and not air conditioned but the room was entirely updated and had great AC. The staff was courteous, friendly and very helpful.
