The story
An Art Nouveau Villa High Above Lake Lucerne
Hotel Villa Honegg was built in 1905 and opened in 1906 by Emil Durrer with 72 guest beds. Guests came from all over the world and stayed three to four weeks, sometimes the entire summer, in what was a typical family business spanning three generations. The Art Nouveau villa reopened in May 2011 after a complete renovation that kept its historic charm. Today it is a five-star superior boutique hotel with 25 rooms, at an altitude of 914 metres, where natural materials and elegance set the tone. A spa has an infinity pool, saunas and a fitness area, and an outdoor pool looks to the mountains, the lake or the sea of clouds below.
Honegg does not sell wedding packages; couples plan each detail themselves. Events of 40 people or more require exclusive hire of the hotel, and the restaurant, the field overlooking Lake Lucerne and the sun terrace can all host the celebration, with a maximum of 60 guests. Smaller weddings of up to 20 people can be held in the hotel's rooms, and civil wedding dinners are offered for up to 35. The party can run until 3.00 am. Ceremonies at Honegg are symbolic and are not legally recognised. A private cinema with 20 seats and a smoking lounge with a fireplace are among the other spaces, and the grounds can also be used for a wedding shoot.
