We stayed at Art Deco Hotel Montana during our Lucerne extension to our Viking Rhine Cruise. Viking provided transportation from Zurich Airport to the hotel and had two staff members on hand at the hotel at all times to answer questions and provide tour advice for Lucerne.
Hotel Montana is a grand hotel, opened in 1910. But it has been modernized over time with all amenities. As the hotel is perched on a steep hill, clearly, guests will want to stay in a room overlooking Lake Lucerne. The view of the lake the city and Mt. Pilatus is spectacular!
A full breakfast buffet was included. Coffee, tea, scrambled eggs, European bacon, breads yoghurt, juices and cheese are all provided. There is also an omelette station, though not always staffed. A prix fixe restaurant is available at night but we elected to have dinner in town both nights we were there.
As the hotel is on s steep hill, walking up and down could be a challenge for many. But, the hotel provides its own dedicated funicular from the hotel to street (lake) level! Outstanding! The hotel also provides a Lucerne bus pass for guests. This is invaluable! Buses and trollybuses course the city and the pass enables visitors to expediently get where they wish to go.
