The Hotel

Lucerne


This shamelessly hip hotel, bearing the imprint of architect Jean Nouvel, is all streamlined chic, with refined suites featuring stills from movie classics on the ceilings. Downstairs, the hotel boasts one of Lucerne’s trendiest restaurants, and the gorgeous green park across the street is a cool place to idle.
