MENU – SUGGESTIONS FOR YOUR EVENT AT THE DES ALPES

Winter/Spring 2020

Welcome to the heart of Lucerne's old town! The Des Alpes is one of the oldest

houses by the river, whose history goes back to the 13th century. The unique location

directly at the Kapellbrücke, with a view of mount Pilatus and the Jesuiten church

makes our house definitely worth a visit. Whether it is on our river front terrace, the

newly renovated restaurant with a timelessly beautiful bar in a historic setting, the

unique balcony on the first floor or the beautiful art nouveau banquet rooms,

we are Lucerne's meeting point for connoisseurs - just good!

STADTSCHREIBERSTUBE

... or the big banquet room. From 1706 to 1798, the Des Alpes was the seat of the

Lucerne Tourist Office. In 1907, Caspar Troxler acquired the Hotel Des Alpes and

established this art nouveau room. The unique view of the Chapel Bridge, the Pilatus

and the Jesuit church makes your event a success!
