Top Schwyz Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Hotel, Lucerne

Radisson Blu Hotel, Lucerne

10/10 Excellent
"Our whole experience at the Blu was great. To our fave waiter each evening making one of his signature drink we named Swiss Sunset to the staff helping us with our ice fixation and switching out towels. Everyone was so accommodating not to mention it smells amazing when you walk in and not like a musty hotel. It’s so close to tours and the train station and the nice hot shower with lots of water pressure was nice after a long day. The fridge was great for a stash of drinks and chocolates. Would stay there again for sure! The Lion Monument and Chappel bridge is walking distance -"
