Seehotel Waldstätterhof

Nothing but glowing praise for this charming place - the people, the atmosphere, everything. It’s the best hotel we’ve ever stayed in. Everything just felt right. We had a great room on the fourth floor with windows and amazing views on two sides. The beds were very comfortable and the room was perfect. The hotel has a warm, welcoming vibe. The staff were lovely - friendly, thoughtful, and genuinely kind. We really enjoyed the private “beach” - peaceful and quiet. The lake was perfect for swimming, a true highlight. Breakfast was fantastic - you lacked nothing and everything tasted great. The glass of prosecco in the morning added the perfect finishing touch ✨ We’d definitely love to come back!

Lovely in nearly every respect. Vg breakfast buffet. All fresco options all meals. Private grassed lakeside area for swimming in the lake and sunbathing. Exceptional service at every level - professional, polite, attentive. Flies in the dining areas should be dealt with, rooms are smallish but have great little balconies. Lake views perfect. No air con in the rooms. Renovated areas. Excellent sauna.This is a large and spacious hotel, true 4 star that makes other 4 star hotels look like 3 star.

This was an absolutely amazing experience, a balcony room with a view of Lake Lucerne. The staff was very accommodating and Marcel in particular went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect, even helping to correct a train/rail station error I was about to make prior to arrival. The breakfast was included in the price of the room and far exceeded any other previous lodging offerings I have had in Europe. Spa facilities, luggage storage and many other included perks help to make this the only choice in Brunnen with a short trip to Stoos in reach. Stay here, make memories and you will be looking forward to staying again as soon as possible.

We stayed at this hotel from Sat to Sunday and we had the best service with everything! We had a beautiful room view with the lake and mountains. And the room service, front desk and the food service was amazing. Everyone was friendly helpful and welcoming. Planning to come again in the summer🌞

Beautiful, well-run hotel. We felt very welcome, even with our dog. The free coffee all day and numerous cozy seating areas throughout the hotel were a plus during our winter visit. The spa area was nice and not too crowded. We will definitely be back.

Our dining experience at Seehotel Waldstatterhof was nothing short of spectacular. We had a large extended family meal in their private dining room, and everything was perfect from start to finish. The food was impeccable, with each dish crafted to perfection, offering a symphony of flavors that delighted our taste buds. The service was phenomenal; the staff was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure our evening was enjoyable. But what truly set this restaurant apart was the scenery. The views were unmatched in their beauty, providing a breathtaking backdrop that made our meal even more special. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience in Switzerland. This place is a true gem!

First time visiting this location and we couldn’t have picked a more perfect place to stay. On arrival the staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. The room, lake view with balcony, was absolutely worth the money well spent. The hotel offers complimentary espresso beverages at any hour of the day, minibar, and breakfast from 7-10. Parking is limited but available and free. Our only regret was not staying longer but we certainly plan to return soon.

Location and staff was best. Especial thanks to Marcel for helping out and guiding around for kids friendly places.

This is a grand old hotel right on the waterfront in Brunnen (the main Brunnen boat dock is literally outside the front of the hotel). It's the sort of place you see belle époque celebrities coming to by boat. And you wouldn't be wrong: on the ground floor is a discrete sign listing the various minor and major political figures who have stayed at this place (from Victoria and Churchill to various minor royalty). That list ends in 1963, perhaps because of a change in policies, but also perhaps because we live in a different era now, and the hotel's business now comes as much from meetings and tour buses. Indeed, its halls have a whiff of age and fustiness, and a renovation that left them with light sconces so ugly even our 8yo daughter commented on them has not done it favors. All of this, however, is unfair to the place. Where it matters, the hotel has done a great job. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. They have astounding views (if you have a "mountain view" room and all you see is the hills behind town, crane your neck a bit and you should see the Grosser and Kleiner Mythens). The restaurants are modern. The breakfast is outstanding, with little touches that are almost knowingly ironic, like prosecco with vegetable juices on offer. Places like this aren't known for their modernity, and one might expect menus that Victoria would have been equally at home with. Yet their dining menu is absolutely modern and the service, just like at breakfast, is outstanding: proper and solicitous, not what it could so easily have been (stiff or snooty). You also notice the hallways filled with old art and furniture, presumably leftovers from previous refurbishings. It all really grows on you. You start to feel a bit royal yourself. You almost wonder, if you stuck your wrist out at the wait staff, would they bow low and kiss it? You wonder, but you don't try it out. In short: a delightful place, well worth the cost (which must be judged by Swiss standards), meeting and exceeding expectations, and worth a return visit.

I'm a returning guest to this breathtaking hotel at the shores of Lake Uri for the last 25 years. Neither the hotel's website, promoting "relaxing" travel packages nor their booking confirmations provide the slightest information or caution that there is major construction going on along the complete length of the hotel lake front. The noise pollution during the work week, starting at 7:30AM (!!!) until 4PM, is deafening and makes a stay at this hotel a total disaster! Where's the courtesy and responsibility of the hotel management to provide cautionary information to guests from abroad about this nuisance? I am extremely disappointed in how this situation is being handled by this otherwise reputable hotel! Dec. 23, 2015 Management of the hotel has taken my suggestion into consideration and posted a cautionary note about the noise situation on the reception desk as well as provided respective notes on their website. One cannot expect more and I appreciate that the hotel management followed-through on my observation which will be helpful for all future guests during the next few weeks. Thank you Ms. Hoffmann, this has restored my belief in Swiss quality!
