Hotel Beau Sejour Lucerne - A Belle Époque Gem on Lake Lucerne

This almost 150-year-old belle époque gem, perched right on the edge of Lake Lucerne, offers 28 unique places to spend the night. Whether you're planning a weekend exploring Lucerne's historic sights or a summer escape by the lake, the Beau Sejour provides a charming atmosphere steeped in history. The management places a particular priority on ensuring a welcoming and memorable stay.

Location

The Hotel Beau Sejour commands a prime position on the shores of Lake Lucerne, offering panoramic views that encompass the majestic Pilatus and Rigi mountains. Directly across the street lies the Carl-Spitteler-Wiese, providing easy meadow and lake access. Lucerne's city center, with landmarks like the Chapel Bridge and Bourbaki Panorama, is a mere 1.5 km away, making it an ideal base for exploration.

Style and Character

The deliberate mix of historical elements, art, and design defines the Hotel Beau Sejour's unique character. Exposed wood beams and vintage wallpaper lend a rustic charm, softened by the elegance of chandeliers and meticulously decorated art salons. This nearly 150-year-old aura means the wooden floors may creak and the sounds of neighboring rooms can sometimes be heard - a reminder of its storied past. The hotel offers a cosy atmosphere, perfect for celebrating life's moments.

Service and Facilities

The team is dedicated to welcoming guests daily until 11 pm. For those arriving by car, advance reservation of one of the five parking spaces is recommended (CHF 15/day). The hotel also features a large ballroom, an art salon, and a terrace overlooking the lake, all contributing to an inviting atmosphere. Swiss tap water is of excellent drinking quality, rivalling mineral water.

Rooms

The 28 rooms at Beau Sejour are each unique. Double rooms often feature parquet floors, a seating area, and lake views, with some boasting balconies. Spacious suites offer a separate living room and two bedrooms, with bathrooms appointed with either a bath or shower and complimentary toiletries. The décor thoughtfully mixes historical elements with contemporary touches, and a particular focus is placed on diversity, especially in the bathrooms. A bright corner room on the third floor provides a lovely vantage point towards the Rigi and the lake, suitable for familiar guests. Two rooms can connect to form a 55-square-meter family room.

Food and Drink

The hotel's dining experience emphasizes diversity and regionality. Pots and plates are mainly filled with products from the region, preferably of organic origin. While specific restaurant names are not detailed, the partner restaurant, 'Drei Könige', serves as the culinary meeting point for the trendy Bruchmatt quarter. The hotel also highlights regional cheeses, including a mild, aromatic soft cheese produced in Küssnacht am Rigi, and a spicy mountain cheese produced by the Kurmann dairy in Gähwil. The Odermatt dairy contributes a small round cheese with a snow-white mold coat.

Value for Money

While specific pricing is not provided, the hotel's historic charm, prime lakeside location, and unique character suggest a distinct experience. The inclusion of regional, often organic, food items and the provision of excellent quality tap water contribute to the overall perceived value, especially for those seeking an authentic Swiss stay.

Accessibility

Specific details on accessibility features are not provided in the source information.

Family-Friendly

The availability of a family room, formed by connecting two rooms to create a 55-square-meter space with three beds, makes the Beau Sejour accommodating for families. The charming atmosphere and lakeside location also lend themselves well to family stays.

“The hotel struck me as a charming base for exploring Lucerne, with its location directly on the lake promenade and easy bus access to the city center; rooms with balconies and lake views add to the appeal. I think the blend of historical features with modern art creates a distinctive atmosphere. With its friendly service and attention to detail, it seems like a very welcoming place.”
