Hotel Rothaus Luzern & Peruvian Culinary Art, Lucerne - A Discreet Charm
In Lucerne, a city embraced by mountains and the shimmering expanse of its lake, the Hotel Rothaus Luzern & Peruvian Culinary Art presents itself as a rather excellent choice. It's a place where a deeply passionate team, offering a rather solicitous concierge and room service, works discreetly to ensure your visit is as pleasant as the alpine air. While not seeking the limelight, this establishment has carved out a niche for itself, particularly through its culinary ambitions.
Location
Lucerne, a graceful gateway to the heart of Switzerland, is defined by its stunning lakeside setting and the imposing mountainous panorama that frames it. The Hotel Rothaus enjoys a central position, occupying a quiet side street on the edge of the old town. This placement places guests within easy reach of Lucerne's historical city center, its star-rated restaurants, museums, theatres, and the inviting shores of Lake Lucerne itself, not to mention the tempting array of shops and designer boutiques. For those arriving by car, while limited onsite parking is available at CHF 22.00 per day, convenient public car parks like Parkhaus Kesselturm and Parkhaus Altstadt are close by, just 100 and 300 meters away respectively. Kloten Airport is approximately 70 km distant, making the hotel surprisingly accessible.
Style and Character
The Rothaus presents a character best described as understated elegance with a distinct Peruvian accent. The hotel prioritizes order and privacy, with reception and the main door secured from 10 PM to 7 AM, though entry with your room key is readily available. Within, a traditional banquet/private dining room, complete with an original fireplace and antique ornaments, hints at a long-standing hospitality, while the rooms themselves offer a functional, contemporary comfort.
Service and Facilities
The team here is notably passionate, extending their care through attentive concierge services and reliable room service. The hotel offers a welcome desk and main door access, secured overnight for guest peace of mind. While not brimming with resort-like amenities, the focus is on providing essential comforts and a highly personalized service, creating an atmosphere that encourages guests to treat their rooms with the utmost care.
Rooms
Accommodation options cater to a range of needs and budgets. Entry-level rooms, around 24 square meters, feature essential amenities including free Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV with international and national channels, a direct-dial phone, safety deposit box, heating, and a fan. Some rooms offer a private entrance, a sitting area, and tea and coffee facilities. Suites, such as the Suite Family and Premium Suite Family, are thoughtfully equipped for enjoying refreshing drinks or hot beverages at any time. The décor is clean and functional, with parquet floors and a practical working desk complete with a lamp - a thoughtful touch for those needing to catch up on work or pen postcards. Room descriptions often highlight features like city or mountain views, and some include a balcony. Chocolate is a consistent amenity, a small but appreciated gesture.
Food and Drink
The culinary heart of the Hotel Rothaus beats within its Pikante Peruvian Cuisine Restaurant, located on the ground floor. Under the direction of Chef Emilio Espinosa Schwarz, the kitchen delivers a modern, creative take on Peruvian cuisine, deeply rooted in the traditional ingredients and influences of the Incas. This is the city of Lucerne's first dedicated Peruvian restaurant, offering a unique opportunity to experience intense, traditional flavors for both lunch and dinner. Breakfast, served from 7 AM to 8 AM on the first floor, is a balanced affair, featuring a variety of local hams and cheeses, setting a sound foundation for a day of exploration or business. The hotel also boasts an elegant dining room and a comfortable tavern, providing further opportunities for culinary pleasure complemented by friendly and attentive service.
Value for Money
The Hotel Rothaus offers guests the distinct advantage of choosing accommodation that best suits their budget, indicating a flexible pricing structure. The inclusion of breakfast and free Wi-Fi in most rooms, coupled with the unique gastronomic offering from Chef Espinosa Schwarz, suggests a solid value proposition, particularly for those seeking an authentic culinary experience alongside comfortable lodging in a prime Lucerne location.
Accessibility
While specific details on adapted rooms or comprehensive wheelchair access were not provided, the hotel's central and accessible location by all means of transportation is a practical advantage. The nature of its service, focusing on personal attention, may extend to accommodating specific guest needs where possible, though explicit accessibility features would require direct inquiry.
Family-Friendly
The availability of family rooms and suites equipped with amenities for beverages suggests a consideration for family stays. The option to choose accommodation that matches budget and need is also beneficial for families. While not explicitly detailed, the hotel's central location near attractions and its emphasis on attentive service could make it a convenient base for families exploring Lucerne.
“This hotel distinguishes itself with its Peruvian restaurant, a unique find in Lucerne. Rooms are comfortable and well-equipped, and its location, near the Old Town, is a definite plus for those looking to explore the city's attractions on foot. I appreciate that guests also receive a complimentary transport card, making it even easier to get around.”
