Château Gütsch
Lucerne, Switzerland
Château Gütsch rises above Lucerne like a small castle, with an outlook across the city towards the lake. Inside, patterned fabrics, antiques and carefully chosen artwork give the rooms and public spaces a theatrical but considered character. The American Bar and restaurant make it easy to spend an evening at the hotel. The view varies between rooms, so book a city-facing category if you want Lucerne’s rooftops and water in the foreground.
