The Best Hotel in Engelberg, Luzern and Central Switzerland

Light-filled and comfortable, this Scandinavian-Swiss-style reinterpretation of the original 1904 hotel is a stylish blend of restored belle epoque features and modern furnishings in muted pastels, leather, and oak. Kempinski Palace Engelberg flanks the park in the center of Engelberg, its huge windows overlooking the public outdoor stage and jaunty mountainscape crowned by Mt Titlis. A lavish five-year renovation added a new wing to the original structure, building around the historic and structurally exquisite Kursaal events space. The hotel’s now palatial proportions also include a spa beneath the roof, where the indoor infinity pool affords views of paragliders twirling above. The restaurant is excellent, serving French brasserie dishes with a Swiss twist.
