Park Weggis

Lake Lucerne


This lavish lakefront beauty, west of the ferry quay, is closed for renovations until 2019. Understated elegance and smooth service is usually the order of the day here. Revel in the lakefront views, the private beach or the attached Park Grill restaurant, specialising in Iberian pork and gourmet steaks from the American Great Plains.
