Altstadt Hotel Magic Luzern

Altstadt Hotel Magic Luzern occupies a historic building on Kornmarkt, within Lucerne’s pedestrianised Old Town. The setting places the hotel among narrow lanes, local shops, restaurants and cafés, with the Reuss, Rathaus and Chapel Bridge close by. Lucerne railway station and the KKL cultural centre are around five minutes away on foot, making the property suitable for sightseeing, cultural visits and short city breaks. Zurich Airport is approximately 65 kilometres away.

The hotel’s defining feature is its collection of individually themed rooms. Each room follows a different decorative idea, drawing on international cultures, historical periods and varied interior styles. Oriental influences, baroque details and rustic elements are among the moods represented, so the accommodation has a playful, imaginative character rather than a uniform hotel design. Modern conveniences include a private bathroom, minibar, Delizio coffee machine, television and radio, safe and complimentary Wi-Fi.

Several suites add more space and a private whirlpool. The Lionheart Suite features a four-poster bed, while the Baroque Suite takes a more formal decorative approach and the King Suite has a classic style. The Honeymoon Suite is arranged across three spacious double rooms and includes an ornate interior, balcony views towards the Reuss, Chapel Bridge and Pilatus, plus a whirlpool, bathtub and separate shower. Its layout and facilities make it particularly suited to couples seeking a distinctive stay.

Breakfast is optional and served at the nearby sister hotel Krone on Weinmarkt. The buffet-style offering includes bread, regional specialities, cheese, cold cuts, coffee and prosecco. For lunch and dinner, the surrounding Old Town provides a broad choice of traditional taverns, contemporary bistros, international restaurants and small cafés. The hotel itself is therefore best understood as an accommodation base with a characterful setting, rather than a destination centred on an in-house restaurant.

Hotel Magic also works as a base for excursions beyond the Old Town. Pilatus, Rigi and Lake Lucerne are among the regional attractions accessible from the city. Guests receive a Lucerne Guest Card, which includes free public transport and discounts for selected museums, mountain railways and other regional attractions. Check-in and guest service are handled at Hotel Krone on Weinmarkt. A valet parking service is available for arrivals by car.
