About
Seehotel Kastanienbaum welcomes you on the quiet Horw peninsula, a 15-minute drive from the old town of Lucerne. Look forward to a breathtaking view over Lake Lucerne and the mountain panorama of Central Switzerland. In addition, a private beach with sunbathing lawn and a heated outdoor pool await you during the summer months. Start the day with a rich breakfast. In the lakeside restaurant and in summer also on the lakeside terrace, regional delicacies and newly interpreted classics are served - with a grandiose view. Upon arrival, you will receive a free ticket for public transportation in the city of Lucerne. You can easily reach the center of Lucerne by boat or public bus. The boat station and the bus stop are located directly at the hotel.

Breakfast was good, no service help., so we had to set our own table outside etc. Our room smelled from the kitchen, and we needed a fan, which we didn’t have.
Location on the lake was beautiful.
It was very nice, the hotel staff were very friendly and the room nice and confortable.
Maybe a little too hot in the room but the rest was very nice.
Location, right at the edge of the lakeRestaurant viewStaff were helpful Free parking
The heating had a problem and it was not working. Being January it was very cold in the rooms and there were no spare heaters.The situation was better the next day and we did get a complementary breakfast but we only stayed one night so it was not great at all.
View from room and sauna. Personel was very nice.
Staffs , service , spa , reception was very nice
The room was cold in the night even after heating it,

Lake view. Plenty of parking. Free bus to Luzern. Friendly Staff. Comfortable room.
Everything and bus stop outside
Hot tub wasn’t available during the 3 days
Gorgeous view, quiet location, and the bus stop being right outside was extremely convenient.
I enjoyed everything. Truly an amazing experience.
Really big room with great location.
Pillows were very thin like paper and the parking was very small and almost always full.
Location and the view are stunning. Very friendly staff. Quite good breakfast.
Soundproofing. The facility is bit old.
The view, the location, the ambience everything very beautiful
We loved this hotel. The grounds, view across the lake, and the food were all excellent. Free bus travel to the centre of Luzern worked well, and you could return by bus or the afternoon Ihr lake cruise would drop you off. If we were in the area again, we would definitely stay again.
The outdoor pool did not look very inviting. The water looked as if it could do with a clean or a refresh.
What a sensational location! There is a ferry stop at the property ( one of, if not the only one on Lake Lucerne) and an amazing outdoor area to relax with a few drinks overlooking the lake. We walked left from the hotel and found a lovely little outdoor pop up bar near a little freshwater beach on the lake, which enhanced our stay.
Great location; amazing views; great food. Nice pool with bar close by. Private access to the lake. Not very crowded with people. Excellent buffet breakfast.
Staff in the restaurant seemed a bit clueless at times. Long wait for checkout as there was a very long conversation going on with one guest.
Lake view rooms fantastic. Free bus to town. Restaurant value for money. Sauna facilities and access to lake and pool for swimming great.
Spa pool/hot tub was an extra 150 SF which was ridiculous for the price it cost to stay.
