The story

A castle hotel above Lake Lucerne

The Hotel Château Gütsch towers above Lucerne and Lake Lucerne, surrounded by the Gütschwald. The Gütsch Tower began as the end point of the town fortifications and evolved over time into today's castle hotel, which has welcomed visitors from all over the world for over 140 years. Famous artists and politicians have stayed, and one queen stayed for five weeks. Today the hotel has 37 individually designed rooms and suites that combine historical charm with modern comfort, and the American Bar, originally the Gütsch Bar, is described as a Lucerne institution. The hotel is a member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts.

For weddings, the house offers a Ball Room with space for up to 80 guests, its restaurant for up to 120 people, and terraces and an inner courtyard with further options. The view of the city, lake and mountains is included in every package. Restaurant Lumières seats guests on different levels behind panoramic windows, with a large terrace, and the kitchen combines regional delicacies with classics of European and Asian cuisine. The team advises couples on shaping the day from the aperitif to the party, and an event manager, Sabina Jug, is named as the first point of contact. Guests can sleep in the castle itself, in rooms and suites on the same hill.
