We think these are the best hotels around Lake Lucerne. That's because of their beautiful location directly on the lake, their convenient location close to Lucerne's railway station, their friendly pricing or the positive traveler experiences.
Book your hotel in Lucerne if you prefer a picturesque old town with monuments, museums, shops and much more. Also, Lucerne has excellent train connections to all parts of Switzerland, including Zürich.
Smaller, quieter lakeside towns close to Lucerne are Hergiswil and Küssnacht, which can both be reached by train. Small towns further from Lucerne and along the lake are Beckenried, Brunnen, Gersau, Vitznau and Weggis.
