Swiss boutique property, ‘The Hotel,’ will become part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection Hotels, which are known for celebrating individuality, from 8 July 2015.
Located in Lucerne, The Hotel was established in 1907 and is now owned by hotelier Urs Karli, who reopened it in 2000 after an extensive renovation in collaboration with French architect Jean Nouvel.
It features 30 studios and suites, with four of the penthouse suites featuring roof terraces. Ten garden and park loft suites feature patios.
The fully air-conditioned rooms also feature wi-fi, a mini bar and an espresso machine.
Jean Nouvel used an interplay of wood and steel to give the hotel a fresh look. The horizontal panels are made of stainless steel and the vertical panels are made from wood.
