Once you reached the luxurious Bürgenstock resort, get a refreshing drink or snack at the panoramic terrace or in the Lakeview Lounge while enjoying the stunning views over Lucerne and its surroundings. Visit the Hotel Museum and wander through 145 years of Swiss hotel history and retrace the paths of celebrities like Charlie Chaplin, Audrey Hepburn or Sean Connery.
