“The Waldstaetterhof places you steps from Lucerne's train station and a short walk from the Chapel Bridge, a location that can't be beat. I especially like that the hotel balances its turn-of-the-century charm with generously sized, modern rooms. With on-site dining that emphasizes local cuisine and meeting facilities, it's equally suited to leisure and business travelers.”
