Traditional Swiss hotel with a modern touch in a quite center of Zug
Pros:

The hotel has been renovated inside 5 years ago, so everything inside is modern but they've kept the style of this traditional hotel. Our room was spacious, airco worked well and the staff were very welcoming and helpful. And of course, the location is just superb!

Cons:

I found the mattress a little too soft (but this is very individual).
