On the Lucerne Riviera, where palms grow and vines thrive in the heart of Switzerland, where Lake Lucerne lies at its feet and Mount Rigi provides a strong backdrop, the Hotel FloraAlpina welcomes its guests all year round. The open and unique location, the Mediterranean charm, and the fantastic views of the lake and mountains make dreams come true.
The building, constructed from 1938 to 1941, is set in a unique park landscape, designed by Swiss landscape architect Gustav Ammann, who significantly shaped Swiss garden architecture in the first half of the 20th century. He freely used the full palette of exotic and native plants. Whether black pine, ginkgo or apple, whether linden, magnolia or trumpet tree – the concept of the plantings in Vitznau is less about "local authenticity" but rather reflects Ammann's subjective and artistic sensibility. This concept features plants with special blossoms and attractive foliage, creating an interesting contrast with the white building.
In the panoramic restaurant with its Mediterranean terrace, you get a little closer to the sunset and Lake Lucerne. The kitchen crew, inspired by the climatic proximity to the south, offers a combination of local recipes, regional products, and Mediterranean ideas. Since spring 2024, the hotel has once again been operating its own vegetable garden and a greenhouse, and two bee colonies supply the hotel's own honey.
The 53 hotel rooms are individually furnished and partially renovated. The new rooms are simple and cozy, furnished with a lot of wood. Sustainability is a top priority for the hotel, which is why only European wood was used in the redesign of the rooms. Various rooms in and around the hotel offer the ideal setting for weddings, family celebrations of all kinds, as well as Christmas parties and company anniversaries for up to 120 people. For seminars, conferences, meetings, and retreats, 5 rooms are available for up to 100 people.
Those seeking even more relaxation will find it in the cozy wellness area. A heated outdoor pool (April-October) and outdoor whirlpool, a Finnish sauna in the garden, a steam bath, and a bio sauna are available.
