Hotel Central Luzern – A Favorite for Families in Lucerne

Hotel Central Luzern sits in Lucerne's Neustadt quarter, a two-minute walk from the main railway station and a three-minute stroll to Chapel Bridge. Guests receive free bus and tram passes for unlimited local travel during their stay - a perk worth about CHF 7 per day per person. The KKL Luzern culture and convention centre, Rosengart Collection, and the old town are all within easy walking distance, and Zurich Airport is reachable in 50 minutes by car or 1.5 hours by public transport.

A rich Swiss buffet breakfast with regional products such as Bircher muesli, fresh berries, and local cheeses is included in every rate. The breakfast room is open 24 hours to all guests, offering complimentary coffee, tea, water, and ice throughout the day. A communal fridge and microwave are available for storing and reheating personal food, and a vending machine stocks soft drinks, wine, and beer on an honesty-box basis.

The hotel provides baby safety gates, board games, puzzles, and kids' outdoor play equipment to keep younger guests occupied. Family rooms are available with extra space, and a shared lounge area allows families to eat takeaway meals together. Staff offer local recommendations for child-friendly activities and can arrange luggage storage before check-in or after checkout.

All 46 rooms are non-smoking and newly refurbished with parquet floors, a flat-screen TV, and radio. En-suite bathrooms include a hairdryer, and superior room categories offer extra space with seating areas or sloping ceilings for a cosy feel. A community lounge with sofa seating, picnic tables, and a sun terrace provides a relaxed spot to work, read, or socialise outside of the bedroom.

Express check-in and check-out, luggage storage, and a private check-in service are available for late arrivals. The tour desk can arrange day trips and activities, and a laundry service can return clothes same day via a nearby partner. Public parking spaces are available on surrounding streets for a fee, and the entire hotel is accessible via a lift.
