Park Hotel Vitznau, Lake Lucerne: Agent Guide for India

What your clients are buying

Privacy, a serious table and the lake at the door

Park Hotel Vitznau first opened in spring 1903. After a four-year restoration it reopened in 2013 as a hotel of suites only. It feels like a private residence on the lake, not a resort: tables are reserved, the spa is for hotel guests, and the calm is the point.

Privacy

A residence, not a resort

The spa and every wellness facility belong to hotel guests alone. Restaurants and experiences are booked ahead, with no walk-ins. That is what keeps the hotel so quiet.

Rooms

Every room a suite

49 individually designed Junior Suites, Suites and Residences, each looking out over the lake or the mountains. Every floor has its own theme: Wine & Dine, Art & Culture, or Health & Wealth. A wine lover can sleep on a floor themed around the table.

Table

Dinner, then the cellar

focus ATELIER holds two MICHELIN Stars and 18 GaultMillau points. Alongside it, six cellars hold a Château d'Yquem collection with every vintage from 1890 to today. A food lover could plan the whole trip around the two.

Setting

The lake at the lawn, Rigi at the door

A private lawn runs down to the water, and the hotel keeps its own boats. In the village, Europe's first mountain railway, opened in 1871, climbs to the Rigi summit. One stay gives your clients both the lake and the mountain.

Suites and residences

Three categories, each suite named and themed

There are no standard rooms here. Every suite has a name, a view of the lake or the mountains, and a place in a themed gallery, from Château d'Yquem to the Vienna Philharmonic. Your clients are not booking a room type; they are booking a suite with a story. The hotel does not publish nightly rates, so we quote live for your dates.

How to read the ratesNightly suite rates are not published, so we quote live, per suite per night. The only published rates are for set stays, priced for the whole stay in the suite you choose, with treatments for two guests. The hotel does not state how many nights the La Prairie stay covers, so we confirm it with the quote.

The lake and Rigi

On the water by morning, on the summit by lunch

The hotel sits on Vitznau Bay, with its own lawn running down to the water. The Rigi cogwheel railway leaves from the village, so your clients can reach the summit without getting into a car.

Mornings begin on the sunbathing lawn, a few steps from the water. When your clients want more of the lake, the hotel's three boats take them out, with a skipper or with your clients at the wheel.

Boesch Costa Brava: classic wooden sports boat, up to five guests plus skipper
Sun Chaser: 150 hp, up to eleven guests plus skipper
Pontoon boat: self-drive, up to ten guests

Heated outdoor infinity pool with loungers looking over Lake Lucerne

Heat, ice and the lake

The centrepiece is a heated outdoor infinity pool, 21.7 by 9.6 metres, that seems to run straight into the lake. Around it: a Finnish sauna, sanarium and steam bath for heat, an ice grotto at minus 10 °C for the cold, indoor and outdoor whirlpools and a 24-hour gym. Treatments use La Prairie products, and the spa is for hotel guests only.

Private Spa Suite with two massage tables and a whirlpool

Strong fit

Couples and honeymooners who would rather have privacy than a busy resort: a suite, a skippered boat and a table by the lake.
Food and wine travellers, who can give three evenings to two MICHELIN Stars, the Chef's Table and the open-fire grill, and an afternoon to one of five cellar tours.
Guests who want the lake one day and the mountain the next, without changing hotels. Rigi, Lucerne and Pilatus are all within easy reach.
Families who want space: residences have separate sleeping areas, and children of any age are welcome.
