Why it's in the collection

Because the best things about it are the timeless ones — the lake in every window, the palace itself, the two tables — and the restoration gave them back without turning the house into a contemporary hotel in period dress.

On the Haldenstrasse quay of Lucerne, on the lake; a Mandarin Oriental house.
The Spa Bellefontaine; Colonnade and Minamo; the lake-facing rooms and suites of the 1906 palace.
An authentic Belle Époque landmark, unusual for the brand and richer in personality for it; lavish modern comfort and panoramic views of Lake Lucerne and the Alps; the modern French Colonnade with two MICHELIN Stars and the Japanese Minamo with one.
Two MICHELIN Keys in the 2025 selection; holds four-star standing.

The neighborhood

Dusk over Lake Lucerne & Bürgenstock

Lake Lucerne & Bürgenstock

The lake at the heart of Switzerland, from the Belle Époque quays of Lucerne to the ridge of the Bürgenstock. The ridge is reached by boat and funicular; Vitznau lies under the Rigi, Pilatus across the water, and Zurich airport about an hour away.

The lake promenade and the boats, at the door.
The old town and the Chapel Bridge, about fifteen minutes on foot.
Zurich airport, about an hour.

“The Belle Époque landmark of 1906 on the Lucerne lakeshore, restored to its glory as a Mandarin Oriental house.”
