Bürgenstock Resort Lake Lucerne
A Little Closer to Heaven - Rising 500 metres above Lake Lucerne, the historic Bürgenstock Resort offers a breathtaking setting and a truly distinctive environment for events of every kind. Perched on a mountain ridge, the resort’s exclusive hotels and residences, outstanding event venues, and dining options invite guests to work, relax, and indulge. Switzerland’s largest integrated resort provides countless attractions and activities, situated only 1 hour from Zurich Airport or 20 minutes from Lucerne.
Nestled within vast stretches of unspoiled nature and overlooking steel-blue waters, Bürgenstock Resort Lake Lucerne unfolds in an almost surreal landscape. Whether arriving by car, helicopter, or private jet, the options are endless. A particularly unique experience is the arrival by hybrid MS Bürgenstock Catamaran and the historical Bürgenstock Funicular, taking guests directly into the heart of the resort. At the summit, three hotels with a total of 360 rooms and suites await guests for an extraordinary stay.
Bürgenstock Hotel & Alpine Spa
Those who appreciate elegance and stunning panoramic views will find that the five-star superior Bürgenstock Hotel & Alpine Spa lives up to the highest expectations. The hotel presents two distinct styles. The Contemporary, with its 102 rooms, combines modern, daring design with the epitome of luxury hospitality. The Heritage offers 109 rooms set behind a Belle Époque façade and was originally established in 1903 as the resort’s Palace Hotel.
Waldhotel by Bürgenstock
The 137-room Waldhotel by Bürgenstock exemplifies sustainable architecture, combining traditional larch wood construction with a deep connection to nature. All rooms feature south-facing sun terraces with stunning views of the Swiss landscape, while the pool deck is refreshed by crisp mountain air.

Seventeen Bürgenstock Residence Suites with full hotel service complete the exclusive offering.
All accommodations are united by a shared commitment to exceptional hospitality. Every guest should find exactly what they need to feel completely at ease. This principle was established by the resort’s founders, Franz Josef Bucher and Josef Durrer, who laid the foundations of one of Switzerland’s most prestigious hotels.

Culinary Diversity
A variety of restaurants, bars, and lounges present culinary highlights and refined dining experiences with international flair — from Pan-Asian, Persian, and flame-grilled specialties, to traditional Swiss and Italian dishes. Every guest will discover flavours to suit their tastes, and every event will find its perfect setting.
Spices Kitchen & Terrace is within a glass cube cantilevered from the side of the mountain. Parisa – Persian Cuisine is on the edge of the cliff with scaling views falling away 500 metres below. Osteria Alpina sits prettily above the rolling golf fairways. Oak Grill & Pool Patio is set by the Hollywood Pool.
Each restaurant, hotel, and event space can be booked individually or in combination with other venues and facilities, allowing guests and event planners to create a fully customised experience.
A Connection with Nature
Beyond accommodations and dining, the resort offers extensive leisure and wellness options. More than 70 km of scenic walking and biking trails along panoramic routes invite guests to recharge, reflect, and find inspiration in the surrounding Alpine landscape.. Just nearby, the Hammetschwand Lift stands out as truly one of a kind as the highest outdoor elevator in Europe. After hikes and bike tours, guests may enjoy well-earned relaxation within the resort’s exclusive spa facilities, which set new standards in both design and service.

Sauna areas, hammam, showers, whirlpools, Kneipp Pools, and a 24/7 fitness centre ensure a holistic wellness experience.

In addition, numerous indoor and outdoor spaces are available for events, including the Bürgenstock Cinema with 69 seats, the chalet-style Spycher, and the historic Simmentaler Stube, built in the 16th century.
