Situated approximately 900 metres from a beach, the 4-star non-smoking Seehotel Kastanienbaum Lucerne hotel offers rooms with views of the mountain. An à la carte restaurant is available in this Lucerne hotel that boasts a quiet location, within a 6-km distance of such entertainment venues as Spreuer Bridge.
Location
The hotel is nestled in the Horw district of Lucerne, fairly close to the restaurant Seehotel Kastanienbaum. Guests can visit Bruderklausenkirche Kastanienbaum Catholic Church, which is only a 5-minute walk away, and Historisches Historical Museum Luzern which is around a 15-minute ride from the accommodation.
Nature lovers will appreciate the vicinity of Dickiwald, located merely 0.8 km away. Also, this Lucerne hotel is about a 20-minute drive from the glitzy lakeside Grand Casino Luzern.
You can catch the bus at Dorni bus stop, just near the Seehotel Kastanienbaum Lucerne.

The 43 rooms are allergy-free, and equipped with an iPod dock and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels as well as a mini-bar. For more comfort, hairdryers and towels along with a separate toilet and a shower are provided in the bright bathrooms.
Eat & Drink
The onsite restaurant offers European dishes.
Leisure & Business
Rest on a private beach or take a dip in a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, which comes with a spa and a sauna.
“The views here are undeniably the main draw, offering a serene lakefront escape that feels a world away, yet it's surprisingly convenient to reach Lucerne. Its direct ferry access and well-appointed spa are particularly noteworthy for a relaxing stay. The staff's helpfulness, especially regarding the complimentary bus travel, makes navigating the area effortless.”
