Hotel Rigi Vitznau

My girlfriend and I spent two great nights in the Hotel Rigi, a quiet, friendly hotel near the lake in Vitznau. A super choice. The staff were amazing and the food in the restaurant stand-out. We particularly enjoyed the autumn game speciality. A good wine list of Swiss wines too. We also have to mention our amazing waitress for whom nothing seemed to be too much trouble including providing a breakfast tray for my partner. She had a great sense of humour to boot. The morning shower was enlivened by a disco light shower head which has to be experienced to be appreciated. Not only fun, just a perfect shower. We must get one! The rooms are clean, comfy and quiet and ours had a lake view. The only possible criticism of the establishment is that the small and atmospheric bar allows smoking which I thought had gone out with the ark. Apparently legal in the canton but I have no idea why you would permit it. It essentially means that the bar is not suitable for non-smokers and that is most of us. Well, it’s not the end of the world. We very much hope to come back again. Highly recommended!

The hotel is well located directly opposite the ferry terminal.|Although the rooms were clean and comfortable.The rooms were a little dated and in need of a refresh.|The staff were super friendly and very helpful. Overall for short over night stay we found it comfortable and good value.

We did not stay at the hotel, we were passing through and decided to stop at the bar. Stephan was an amazing bartender, we had great conversation with him. Best espresso martini I’ve ever had, and I work at a bar myself. Definitely don’t pass up the opportunity of having a simple drink here.

The hotel is perfectly situated. The staff is friendly and relaxed, yet very proffesional. Cosy restaurant and excellent cordon bleus

This hotel was just perfect. A stone's throw from the lake and the cog railway, its locstion is ideal. |Our welcome was so friendly.|The rooms were very comfortable with balconies that provided wonderful views of the lake and gave one the opportunity to enjoy a cigsr without breaking any room rules.|The food, wine and service were all excellent.|Overall a great place to stay and very good value for money.

We ate at the restaurant. The food and service was amazing. My wife loved the tomato cream soup. We also had the authentic swiss fondue. It was amazing esp on a cold night. Highly recommend this great restaurant. One can see the pride of ownership. Also try the hot and homemade apple strudel.

This review is over 50 years old!! When working in Germany in 1969 for a few years, on a solo trip I discovered this Hotel!! Just driving leisurely through Switzerland, and stopped in Vitznau. Hotel was WONDERFUL at that time and the restaurant WAS SUPERB even then! I returned several times during my 3 years in Germany. In researching Vitznau this evening BEHOLD, beyond hope, hotel is still there and still providing excellent service and food! I cannot say how many poignant memories this brought back! And when my mother came to Europe to visit me, we stopped there and spent the night - it was her FAVORITE spot of all the places we went, including Rome, Pisa and more. My dream would be to get back there one more time - and who knows, I might just MAKE IT!! Congratulations on being so outstanding for over half a century.🎉😁

My family arrived in the area without reservations anywhere, and they were able to accommodate us. I didn't have high expectations, but the food was absolutely amazing! Everything was done with care and attention to detail, and everyone enjoyed it. The fish options were what most had, and loved. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and I would definitely recommend it to everyone.
