Why Luxly chose this house
On the Bürgenstock, around 500 metres above Lake Lucerne, stands a hotel built for medicine from the start. Matteo Thun set the Waldhotel into the hillside, with terraces facing the Alps. Doctors from cardiology, internal medicine, orthopaedics, dermatology, psychosomatics and nutrition work under one roof. A place for thorough prevention that never feels like a clinic.
What defines this house
Specialists under one roof
Cardiology, internal medicine, dermatology, orthopaedics, psychosomatics, dentistry, nutrition and gastroenterology: what takes many appointments at home happens here in one house.
Built into the forest by Matteo Thun
Local stone, green roofs and south-facing terraces. Each of the roughly 160 rooms and suites looks out to the Alps, with nothing but forest around.
Above Lake Lucerne
The Waldhotel is part of the Bürgenstock Resort, high above the lake. Walks in the forest and the view across the water are part of the therapy here.

“Unvergessliche Tage im Waldhotel”
Wir hatten unseren Aufenthalt im Waldhotel von Herzen genossen. Für uns war es ein traumhafter Urlaub mit einem grandiosen Abschluss mit zwei Nächten in diesem Hotel. Das Service Personal ist sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Vielleicht gibt es die eine oder andere Unstimmigkeit in der Kommunikation, an welcher man noch arbeiten könnte, aber dennoch sind alle stets bemüht. Unser Zimmer war wundervoll eingerichtet, mit einem sensationellen Blick auf die Alp, viel frische Luft auf dem Balkon und alles tiptop sauber. Für Annehmlichkeiten ist gesorgt. Wir hatten sogar eine sehr persönliche Überraschung auf dem Zimmer. Wir waren sehr dankbar für diese. Auch der Spa lässt keine Wünsche offen. Alles
