The historic Hotel Palace Luzern has reopened as a Mandarin Oriental property following three years of renovations.
Business Traveller first reported on plans for the Mandarin Oriental Palace, Luzern in 2019, and the hotel had originally been scheduled to reopen at the end of 2020.
The 136-room Belle Epoque property dates back to 1906, and is situated on Haldenstrasse on the northern shores of Lake Lucerne.
Features include the all day dining Mozern Brasserie and Bar, alfresco eatery Quai 10, French fine dining restaurant Colonnade, and traditional Japanese omakase style dining at Mizumi – the last two of these will open in the first quarter of next year.
Other facilities include Spa Bellefontaine with fitness centre, sauna and steam bath, and the Edelweiss Ballroom with views of Lake Lucerne and the hotel’s gardens.
Interior design was overseen by local architects Iwan Buhler Architekten and London-based interior designers Jestico + Whiles, taking inspiration from the surrounding Swiss landscapes.
The hotel joins Mandarin Oriental Geneva (located on the shore of the Rhone River), as the group’s second property in Switzerland.
The group is also set to open its second London hotel this winter, located on Hanover Square in the city’s Mayfair district.
