Hotel Hofgarten
Zurich
At a glance
Hotel Hofgarten is a small boutique hotel in Luzern, set at Stadthofstrasse 14 on the edge of the old town and close to the lake. The location places the hotel near several of the city’s central landmarks, including the Hofkirche, whose Gothic towers stand across the street. It is a practical base for exploring Luzern on foot, with the historic centre, waterfront and cultural sights within the surrounding area.
The hotel occupies three protected historic buildings, giving the property a characterful setting rather than a standard contemporary hotel layout. Its 19 rooms are individually furnished, with each room selected and arranged to have its own personality. The overall style combines the atmosphere of historic architecture with the more personal feel associated with a small boutique property.
Hotel Hofgarten also includes a restaurant and a Stübli, providing an on-site setting for dining throughout the day. The kitchen serves warm meals at lunchtime and in the evening, while the hotel also offers a substantial breakfast buffet. The restaurant’s character fits the building’s traditional surroundings, making it suitable for a relaxed meal as well as for hotel guests looking for breakfast or dinner without leaving the property.
Art and culture form part of the hotel’s identity, with the property presenting itself as a place from which to experience Luzern. The setting works well for visitors interested in the city’s historic streets, lakeside atmosphere and cultural attractions. It can also suit an itinerary pairing Zurich with central Switzerland, particularly for travellers who prefer a compact city stay with local sights within walking distance.
Small banquets are another part of the offering. The hotel is suited to intimate celebrations, gatherings and other carefully sized occasions rather than large-scale functions. The combination of individually styled rooms, a restaurant, historic surroundings and a central position gives Hotel Hofgarten a distinct sense of place. It is best matched with stays focused on walking, architecture, food and Luzern’s cultural setting.
