Hotel des Balances

There are several reasons why the word charming is used as an apt description of the DES BALANCES. Chief among them is the hotel's picturesque location on the River Reuss in the heart of Old Lucerne. The hotel's 12th century veneer is framed by iron fronted balconies that wind down to a riverside cafe. Inside, the decorative interior includes the Gourmet Restaurant La Vague, casual Bistro, Piano Bar and an array of intimate meeting rooms ideal for seminars. The 60 guest rooms are attractively furnished.

The hotel restaurant, Balances, with a beautiful terrace onto the river Reuss, is noted for its fine Swiss cooking: imaginative and market-fresh.

Restaurant Balances:
Our Gault-Millau Award winning Culinary Artist and his crew, anxiously await the opportunity to spoil you at lunch (12:00 to 14:00) or dinner (18:00 to 22:00) with classical French cuisine. Alternatively, let us surprise you with a market-fresh creation inspired by the season.

Terrace:
Where else can you sit back, relax and take in the view of the magnificent Jesuit Church and our infamous wooden Chapel Bridge with its monumental Water Tower all at once?

Bar/Lounge:
At first sight, our beautiful wooden bar (open 07:00 until 00:30) calls to mind the bow of a boat about to set sail. A popular spot any day of the week with an ambience of uncomplicated, casual elegance.
