Art Deco Hotel Montana Luzern

The view, the staff, the experience

Great location, funicular down to the main promenade, great terrace for drinks overlooking the lake

We have stayed in many hotels across the globe, also in this top tier. This is a hotel where all you expect from a luxury hotel comes together, from building, to view, staff and F&B.
It is truly one of the best hotel experiences we ever had.
The building is from early last century and kept in its original, high quality, style. Art deco can easily become kitsch, but not here.
The view over the Vierwaltstättersee (Lake Luzern) is spectacular, especially with our lake-view room.
Our room was spacious, with a beautiful bathroom and good bed. Towels were good and blinds kept the room very dark at night.
The 'beach bar' was nice and the Scala restaurant with a high quality à la carte menu and good wine list. The Dutch chef finds the right balance between high quality Swiss cuisine and new tastes. Breakfast on the outside terrace overlooking the lake was of outstanding quality. And the staff prepared a nice birthday and wedding anniversary cake for us, such a nice gesture.
That brings me to what, besides above, truly makes the difference: the staff. From reception, to restaurant, and everywhere else, staff was so nice, warm and courteous. From young (students of the linked Swiss Hotel School?) to more seasoned.
So in summary, this is the perfect Swiss luxury hotel.

Great location, sensational views, stylish rooms and bars/terrace

The property was beyond beautiful. And the views were absolutely stunning.

The location was great. Fabulous views

Definitely the best choice when staying in Lucerne. Not far from the center, but in a quiet area. Not right on the lake shore, but uphill with splendid views and a very convenient funicular to go to the hotel right from the quay next to the Mandarin Oriental Palace. Relatively reasonable pricing, when remembering that we are talking about Switzerland. Very good restaurant with fabulous views. Excellent, friendly, well-trained staff. Especially I would like to mention Maxim, who was extremely helpful with all our needs and requests. We had a Signature Penthouse Suite with a Jacuzzi on the terrace and it was fantastic - surprisingly large, very clean and modern, very convenient. And the view from the rooftop terrace to die for! Highly recommend this hotel in Lucerne.

We had two rooms - a king room with a jacuzzi on the deck and a king room with a sitting area. Both faced the lake. The view of the lake, the city, and the mountains in the distance is stunning. The bedding is comfortable, the rooms are clean, and the bathrooms are nice with good water pressure. The jacuzzi was great after a long day of hiking. The funicular up from the street was very unique — from the train station, take the #6 bus and get off at “Casino”. Walk a little further up the street and the funicular entrance is on the left (north) side of the street.

THE place to stay in Luzern. A view over the lake, town and mountains you will never forget. A quality restaurant with staff that cannot do enough for you. Great room, with private balcony ideal for having a drink with your loved one(s) before dinner. Generally - very charming and helpful staff. I mean it - really. And the hotel even has its own private railway which leads straight down close to the lakeside - we used it in the morning to take a swim before breakfast. A wonderful, memorable stay.

Outstanding service, location and dining. We have stayed a number of times though not for a number of years but the ethos of the hotel its management and staff is consistently excellent. The rooms are good and thankfully now airconditioned ( temperatures were 34 degrees, unseasonably). The real ultimate attraction is dining in the Scala restaurant where food is of highest standard and views magnificent

Our visit to Luzern was an extension of our Viking Rhine River Getaway trip. We loved out two-night stay at Art Deco Montana Hotel. The location was excellent. The view was amazing.

Beautiful Hotel, Views to die for from the Scala Restaurant Terrace and wonderful food to match. Helpful and friendly staff. Wonderful holiday for 11 days. Hotel on a hill so use the hotel funicular down to the Lake side and the local buses to go down to the harbour for the boats or the train station. Hotel give you a "free bus pass" for the duration of your holiday. Makes life a lot easier getting to places.

Excellent service and food! Rooms were very spacious and beds were very comfortable. Would recommend and stay in the future pn return visit.

The hotel had hits and misses. The location is excellent. The common areas are beautiful and the views are unparalleled. The "renovated rooms" lacked pragmatic features for appropriate use of the space and the upgrades felt more pretentious than helpful or beautiful. The food at the restaurant was good, but the service was not up to par. Their policy of not providing an extra plate should people want to share, was quite petty and we've not heard of any restaurant, from a Michelin star to casual dining, with this policy. Our experience here was in sharp contrast to the extremely friendly and accommodating staff across the street at the Mandarin Oriental restaurant.

Viking sent us here. Great hotel, great view, great food, nice rooms. Was warned rooms would be hot - not true - AC in room worked fine. Lift from hotel to street below was an great experience . World Cup was found on English channel in room.

The hotel is stunning and the Terrance bar is one of the best in the city
