We think these are the best hotels in Central Switzerland, because of their beautiful or convenient location, their friendly pricing or the positive traveler reviews. Feel free to post a question to our forum if you can't find what you're looking for.
This luxurious hotel is located in the bustling district called Neustadt. It is very close to the train station, just outside the touristic city center, and opposite from a small park. All the local attractions, including the lake, are at walking distance.
Hotel Bellevue is situated at the peak of Mount Pilatus. This is one of the best places to book for impressive scenic views of the Alps and Lake Lucerne. Altitude: 2100 m.
Mount Rigi is known for its friendly Swiss landscape with meadows, forests and majestic views. This relatively large hotel is located in a small village on the southern slope of the mountain, with wonderful views of Lake Lucerne and the Bernese Alps. It offers a panoramic restaurant and a bathing complex designed by the Swiss architect Mario Botta. Altitude: 1440 m.
If you prefer a typical Swiss city feeling, the Altstadt Hotel Krone is a very good option. This hotel is located in the heart of the Old Town on a historical little square. All attractions are at walking distance, as is the train station to explore the rest of Central Switzerland.
Hotel on a pretty square in the historic town center, close to the river, the Chapel Bridge and the other attractions.
We recommend Hotel Flora because of its positive guest reviews and convenient location at only 200 m from the train station and the Lake Lucerne boat dock. The town center with the famous Chapel Bridge is just around the corner. The hotel has an Italian restaurant.
This isn't your average budget hotel: it's located in Lucerne's former prison. The souvenir shop and room names still remind of this past. Breakfast and free wifi are at your disposal. The Barabas hotel is located in the old town, within easy reach of the railway station.

Hotel in the historic town center near the train station, along the river Reuss and overlooking the famous Chapel Bridge.
We found this wonderful option for budget travelers: an affordable hostel near the lake and at walking distance from the train station and the center of town. The hostel does not serve breakfast but there are kitchen facilities and shops. All rooms have a balcony!
Next to the main train station and on Lake Lucerne, with an on-site restaurant and a few more in the direct proximity. It's an ideal location for train travelers who don't wish to stay in the city center. The center is still close-by though. Some rooms have lake view.
