At a glance
Capsule Hotel theLAB - self check-in offers a compact accommodation format in Lucerne Old Town, at Hirschengraben 40. The property combines private sleeping capsules with the shared atmosphere of a coworking space, creating a practical base for travellers who value a central location and communal facilities over a conventional hotel room.
The accommodation has sixteen private capsules. Each standard capsule provides room to sit upright and includes dimmable LED lighting, a power outlet, hooks and ventilation. Capsules are lockable, while bathroom facilities are shared. Premium bedding adds a more comfortable sleep setup within the simple, efficient design. The arrangement suits solo travellers, short stays and guests looking for a quiet place to rest while keeping the footprint of a room small.
Beyond the sleeping area, theLAB includes several shared indoor spaces. A community kitchen is available for guests, with a fridge, microwave and coffee machine. A hangout area offers a more relaxed communal setting, while coworking desks support laptop-based work or trip planning. The property also includes an outbreak room and a lab room as part of its wider workspace layout.
The atmosphere is informal and functional, with a balance between privacy inside the capsules and interaction in the common areas. It can appeal to independent travellers, remote workers and visitors who prefer a self-contained base with opportunities to use shared facilities. The concept also suits travellers familiar with compact urban accommodation in Zurich and other Swiss cities.
Located in Lucerne Old Town, the property places historic city surroundings within easy reach. Chapel Bridge is a short walk away, making the accommodation convenient for exploring central Lucerne on foot. Its setting works well for visitors who want to combine sightseeing with access to a kitchen, workspace and communal lounge rather than spend the stay entirely in a traditional private room.
