Bürgenstock Hotel & Alpine Spa

Legendary hotel perched above the world

The Bürgenstock Hotel & Alpine Spa opens the doors to a universe suspended between sky and water.

For over one hundred and fifty years, this address in central Switzerland has drawn the discreet gaze of history, movie icons, diplomats, and travelers seeking serene splendor. Reaching it is no trivial matter: a boat ride across Lake Lucerne, a century-old funicular climbing the mountainside, and you are transported to a world apart, perched on a spectacular rocky ridge, 500 meters above Lake Lucerne.



Your gaze stretches from the bay windows to the distant peaks. Light glides over the sleek lines of the architecture, designed to harmonize with the landscape. The wellness area of the hotel quickly becomes a sanctuary within a sanctuary. The infinity pool suspended in mid-air might be the image you take with you, but it’s only an entryway. Inside, woody scents, Alpine-inspired treatments, and panoramic relaxation rooms ground you in the moment.



Below, a historic path winds along the cliff, leading to a sky-high elevator, the tallest in Europe at 1,132 meters. Positioned between the cantons of Lucerne and Nidwalden, this elevator elevates you to the summit of the Bürgenberg, where the horizon spreads out like a living painting. At other times, you may prefer a stroll through the Alpine gardens, a round of golf on the hillside, or a meal in a discreet restaurant where local products meet inspired cuisine.



Throughout your stay, you feel the heritage of the place. Distinguished guests such as Konrad Adenauer, Indira Gandhi, Sophia Loren, Audrey Hepburn, Sean Connery, or Rod Stewart have sought here a tranquility found nowhere else. In a small chapel, some have exchanged vows away from prying eyes. Through the walls, a silent memory circulates, one of an art of living marked by discretion, genuine comfort, and quiet elegance.



Without ever forcing the codes of luxury, the Bürgenstock Hotel & Alpine Spa offers you a romantic getaway, an intimate celebration, or a deeply personal retreat. Some spaces can host your private events, but nothing seems to disturb the peace of the place. Even technology knows how to fade into the background, letting you choose between connection or disconnection.



From this Alpine promontory, you can also venture to Lucerne or the surrounding valleys. Bespoke experiences await you: guided walks through mountain landscapes, massages at the edge of a forest, private tastings with a local producer, or stargazing from a silent lookout. Everything invites you to slow down without sacrificing excellence.



By staying at the Bürgenstock Hotel & Alpine Spa, you gain access to more than an exceptional hotel: a vast car-free complex, a 10,000-square-meter spa, 12 restaurants (French, Asian, Lebanese, Italian, Swiss cuisines), bars and lounges, numerous boutiques, 3 tennis courts, and a 9-hole golf course.

You step into a living story, halfway to the clouds, where hours take on a different density and memories a unique hue. Member of The Leading Hotels of the World.
