Frommer's "The undisputed jewel in the five-star crown, the Palace Hotel, which opened its doors in 1906, is a regal blend of period details and modern refinements, seamlessly held together by sterling service." Full review

This is a luxurious option to be sure, though guests looking for a high-end, lakefront hotel a little closer to Old Town may prefer the Hotel Schweizerhof Luzern.
