High above Lake Lucerne, surrounded by forest and breathtaking mountain views, the Waldhotel by Bürgenstock offers a serene escape where modern design, nature and quiet luxury meet.
Created by architect Matteo Thun, the Waldhotel blends seamlessly into its natural surroundings. Stone façades, wooden pergolas and soft architectural lines mirror the hillside, while expansive windows and atmospheric interiors bring the forest and Alpine horizon into every corner of the building.
Rooms and suites feel like contemporary mountain retreats: spacious, bright and designed to offer a sense of clarity. Neutral tones, natural textures and panoramic balconies create an environment where slowing down feels effortless.
Wellbeing in Its Purest Form
At the Waldhotel Spa, wellbeing is woven into the rhythm of daily life. The wellness areas invite you to unwind in peaceful relaxation rooms, enjoy the pools overlooking the mountains, or embrace movement in beautifully designed fitness and yoga spaces.
Just steps outside, forest paths and panoramic viewpoints allow for restorative walks — the kind of simple, grounding moments that make Alpine escapes so memorable.
A Fresh Approach to Alpine Dining
In the heart of the culinary experience lies Verbena Restaurant & Bar, perched high in the hotel and offering panoramic Alpine views. Here, the cuisine brings together the vitality of the mountains with the subtle finesse of the Mediterranean. Dishes focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients, prepared with mindful technique and presented with elegant simplicity. The bar offers expertly crafted cocktails before dinner, and the restaurant terrace becomes a luminous stage of light, flavour and atmosphere.
A Sophisticated Swiss Escape
Situated on the Bürgenberg ridge, the Waldhotel offers direct access to the broader Bürgenstock Resort and its many experiences — from restaurants and panoramic viewpoints to hiking trails and the famous Hammetschwand Lift. The setting combines privacy and peacefulness with the convenience of a full resort at your doorstep.
