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
Fodor's "Built in 1906, this waterfront hotel drinks in the broadest possible lake views, and has been brilliantly refurbished so that its classical look has a touch of postmodernism." Full review
Afar Magazine "More than a century old, the Palace Luzern is a classic European grand dame and it remains the leading hotel in Lucerne." 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.
