  • Luxury hotel Mandarin Oriental Palace newly opened in Lucerne

    Luxury hotel Mandarin Oriental Palace newly opened in Lucerne

    The former Hotel Palace Luzern reopens as the Mandarin Oriental Palace on September 24 after extensive renovations. The international hotel group Mandarin Oriental Hotel from Hong Kong operates the building on the shore of Lake Lucerne as a luxurious 5-star hotel, according to a press release . It then has 136 rooms and suites.

    Accordingly, the company renovated the listed Belle Époque building together with the Lucerne architects Iwan Bühler Architekten and the London-based interior designers Jestico + Whiles .

    "The breathtaking overall result is also a homage to the Swiss entrepreneur Franz Josef Bucher, who realized his dream of a Mediterranean retreat by building the house in 1906," says the press release. Accordingly, the surrounding landscape and Mediterranean colors are reflected in the interior design.

    The hotel has two suites with panoramic roof terraces from which guests have a 360-degree view of the lake and the Alps. There is also a 133 square meter presidential suite and numerous guest rooms with a balcony or terrace.

    The guests are fed in one of four restaurants, for which the chef Giland Peled, who has been awarded a Michelin star, is responsible. Two of the restaurants will open a little later, in the first quarter of 2023.

    In addition to a spa area, the hotel also offers spacious rooms such as the Salon Alpine with original Belle Époque decor from 1906 and the Edelweiss ballroom with a view of the lake and garden for celebrations, conferences and other events.
