The Hotel Am See sits on Lake Luzerne with lovely views of the lake and surrounding mountains. The historical ambiance of the hotel only adds to the charm of the local village of Vitznau. We would stay again in heartbeat.

Beautiful historic hotel on the lake—it is older so no air conditioning or phone chargers—lovely rooms and breakfasts—right next to Mt Rigi transport—would definitely return!

The room did not have air conditioning and was located next to the ferry and train station but if the windows were closed, the noise was not too loud. View was very nice. Breakfast was good. Ate dinner across the street, good meal.

The rooms are super basic more o like before Christ time.The furnitures and gadgets in the rooms are so old.
The only thing positive about this place was the location and the fact that is based on the lake.

The breakfast is the worst by far that I had in a while. Cold room , cold bread and no staff. They have only 1 person setting cold and cheap breakfast items. The hotel is very nice and the location fantastic, they just don’t care about their clients.

Pros: Views and friendly staff
Cons: The hotel was built in 1873 and I think our bed and mattress were original to that date! Hard beds, very loud and squeaky floors, bathroom was not great, just one pillow (and a barely there pillow at that). I wouldn't stay here again or recommend it to others unless everything else in town was booked.

Der Aufenthalt war sehr schön, man spürt den herrlichen Stil des Hauses und ein bisschen die Zeit, die an der Einrichtung genagt hat. Die Lage und der Service des Hotels war super. Das einzig Negative; kein frisches Brot vom Beck, nur so gewöhnliche Aufbackbrötchen.
