Hotel Alexander

An excellent experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious and everything was prepared with great care and quality. The service was outstanding, especially from Annamaria, who was very professional, kind, and attentive, making us feel truly welcome and well taken care of. Congratulations to the entire team for such a great job. It is definitely a place we would love to visit again. ⭐️

My husband and I have been our favorite spa hotel for many years. We've stayed at many different hotels, but none surpasses the Alexander Weggis. The caring staff, the wonderful spa, and the delicious cuisine leave only the most pleasant impressions! And the view from the front window is simply breathtaking, with views of the mountains and the lake. The menu also features local fish, which is delicious! We highly recommend it 🍀

My wife and I recently spent a week at this lovely hotel. Having travelled from our previous resort, Zermatt, on the train, we took the ferry from the pier adjacent to Luzern station to Weggis, a pleasant fifty minute trip. The hotel is a 10-12 minute walk from the pier but the hotel’s taxi was waiting for us on arrival. A free bus does apparently run past the hotel – I’m not sure how often it runs because we walked every time, stopping at a lovely café midway on the way back after a day’s hiking for a coffee or beer and cake. Our room was on the third floor and had a lovely view of the lake and surrounding hills. The rooms have a balcony with two chairs and table and an awning which can be controlled from the room or by hotel staff centrally. The nearby street is very quiet at night. The hotel staff (reception, waiting staff and cleaners) were all very friendly, efficient and helpful. Our room wasn’t huge but was quite adequate, with two tub chair and another chair at a desk station. Having a safe was another advantage. The breakfast was excellent – everything one could desire (a minor point, the bacon was sometimes very pale, which is common in continental hotels). Everything was replenished on a regular basis. The evening meals were excellent, four varied courses each evening and five on the gala-dinner night. We left absolutely no food on our plates. The food was beautifully presented. Only on the Saturday night when the dining room was particularly busy was the service a little disappointing – it took thirty minutes for us to receive our second course. Other than that the service was first class. The hotel has a very nice heated indoor pool and a heated outdoor pool with a built-in spa bed. We took advantage of them but it pays to do so when they’re less busy. Towels and dressing gowns are provided in the bedrooms and access to the pools and leisure facilities and via floor -1. As part of our deal with Inghams we had a packed lunch each day, very tasty ham, cheese or salami and salad sandwiches, a biscuit and an apple. We would love to return to the Alexander Hotel one day.|You can travel by ferry to various towns around the lake but be warned, it isn`t cheap – even with a half-fare card. Local buses are quicker and much cheaper. You can go up Mount Rigi (behind Weggis) by cable car from Weggis or take the bus to nearby Vitznau and go to the summit by train. We also walked along the lower slopes to Greppen, a lovely walk.

I got the day spa voucher for this hotel for my birthday. I had one entire day inside the spa, which I have to say it is nice…the spa has a pool inside and a pool outside, it was a rainy day so outside was really cold and I have to say water was too cold, for me and my friend wasn’t enought warm to enjoy. Pleasant was the sauna area and all these beautiful old rooms inside. With spa day we got also to have lunch there, at the restaurant, lunch was good, service was a bit pushing to be honest, but we enjoyed it anyway. The spa has really a beautiful view. Service at the spa receptionist was really good and professional, really welcoming. We loved the bed full with water, to relax, and the fact you can have tea and water whenever you want. Generally I would like to come back there, I just hope water will be warmer. Marika and Claudia

If Lake Lucerne were a movie, then Hotel Alexander in Weggis would be the IMAX theatre with the best seats—and possibly a warm schnitzel in your lap.||We came for lunch and stayed for the view (and dessert, and coffee, and then just… lingered until it was socially acceptable to order a second round). The staff were so friendly and attentive, I began to suspect they were either mind-readers or just really liked their jobs. Either way, I felt like royalty—if royalty were allowed to wear hiking shoes and request extra butter.||And let’s talk about the real VIP: our dog. Not only was she welcomed, she was fawned over like a tiny, furry celebrity. Water bowl? Of course. Treats? Naturally. Existential conversation about her feelings on ducks? Possibly. She left the restaurant with a smug expression and the kind of tail-wag that says, “I deserve this.”||Bottom line: incredible views, heartwarming hospitality, delicious food, and a dog who now refuses to eat anywhere less than lakeside. Hotel Alexander, we salute you—with forks raised and tails wagging.

VERY disappointing hotel experience. Not at all what we were expecting for a 4 star hotel. Had this been a 3 star hotel, it would have made more sense, but it's a 4 star and it should have been MUCH better. Highlights of the disappointments: * No Air Con. It was HOT during our stay there, and the rooms were extremely stuff, way too hot to be comfortable, etc. They offered a tabletop fan, which we used, but I fully expected a proper 4 star hotel to have AC. * BUGS. We had numerous spiders in our family suite. I get that spiders are part of life, but this was many spiders. Big spiders. And... a roach! :( * Poor WiFi. Perhaps this is because our room was in the corner of the building and therefore further away from where the routers were, but the wifi in our rooms was intermittent. * No Hot Water (one night). The hot water heater for our rooms broke while we were there. I get that sometimes bad stuff just happens, but on top of all of the other issues above, this was uber frustrating. In the end, it was hot outside (as noted above), and we made do with cold showers, but it's still not what you expect from a 4 star place. * Subpar service. There were no parking spots available when we arrived. There was no help to take our bags to our room. Beyond the myriad issues above, we really enjoyed the lido on the lake across the street from the hotel and we found the town of Weggis to be charming. We also enjoyed the gondola ride up Rigi. Breakfast at the hotel was also a nice experience. Last, but not least, the views from the lake-front rooms was INCREDIBLE!!

I had one night at this property, between Hertenstein and Weggis in a beautiful location overlooking the lake. While the property is not lake-front, it is very close to the lake, and has a bit of an elevated hill-side location, making the lake vista even more beautiful. There is a small road separating the hotel and the lake, but luckily there's very little traffic and noise from the road.||I had booked an 'Arven' room with a balcony and view of the lake. Indeed, the view was pretty spectacular, and really allowed you to take in the stunning nature of the area.||I was able to check in pretty early in the day, which was much appreciated, and I was offered a free drink (I chose Prosecco) as a welcome. I also got a free snack in the room as a welcome, and there's a mini bar as well, albeit a bit pricey.||The bathroom was also nice and pretty spacious.||The hotel features a very nice outdoor and indoor pool, and there's a spa area where you can book massages and such. There's also saunas available and various other spa facilities. ||It was slightly cold during my visit, so the heated pool was much appreciated and it was lovely to enjoy the stellar view of the lake from the pool.||I had breakfast, lunch and dinner on site (mostly because there's not many dining options within walking distance) but all was great, and service from staff was perfect. ||After dinner, I got some incredible pictures of the view, and also realized that the hotel has an area on the other side of the road, right by the lake, with chairs and a nice place to enjoy the view, literally right by the lake. ||I believe you can also use the restaurant and facilities at their sister property next door, Gerbi.||The area itself is very quiet and uneventful. There is an indoor pool at Lido across the street, and the small city of Weggis (where you can also take the boat to Luzern) is maybe a 10 minute walk from the hotel. ||Overall, an amazing hotel with great service from the staff. It shows that it's a family-run property and that they want to make every guest have a great experience.

Great hotel with staff who couldn't do enough for us. Amazing food and service. Lovely views over lake Lucerne and snow capped mountains. 2 lovely heated swimming pools. Just perfect for us.

We had a lovely, but short stay at this hotel. Their indoor pool is warm and relaxing. They also have a 2-person sauna. We didn't have time to utilize the spa services available, but perhaps next time we will. The staff is very nice and helpful. The server Anna is very friendly as well. Be sure to ask for your meal invoice to sign. They probably won't offer it because they don't want to make you feel rushed to leave. Their shuttle driver rescued us from a thunderstorm at the boat pier. Lovely little hotel. Hope to stay there again.
