Tailormade Hotel Rigiblick Küssnacht

We absolutely loved staying in this hotel. I booked it thinking it was in a more touristy area and was sort of shocked to see it was just a hotel on the side of the road next to a car shop and a gas station. But it worked out so well and honestly I’m glad I didn’t do more research because I’m not sure I would have booked it if I had known that it’s not your typical European tourist hotel, and it was our favorite hotel in the whole trip . It was really nice to stay in a more spacious place, and eating breakfast and dinner at this hotel (easy to do because we had a kitchenette) saved us a lot of money. The grocery store is about a three minute walk away. Public transportation was easy to navigate with Apple Maps and of course since it’s Switzerland even walking to a train station gives you incredible views. It’s like you’re walking in a post card. I wouldn’t recommend hauling your luggage here via public transport, but you can just get an uber or taxi to and from the closest train station when you’ve got all your luggage. Truly, this hotel was a fantastic base for a few days for traveling around the Lucerne area despite it not being on main train lines. For instance, with the Swiss travel pass you can take a bus from the hotel to Kussnacht am Rigi, and then get a ferry from Kussnacht to various places along Lake Lucerne. I am so glad I happened to get this place instead of a more cramped, more expensive, and kitchenette-free place in Lucerne proper. Oh, and the rooms were immaculate and the service was great. It was kind of weird to not have someone check us in, but check in with the machine was very straightforward, so we didn’t even need to make use of reception. When we did interact with employees they were very kind.

Really lovely hotel that exceeded expectations. The room was big and clean. The kitchenette in particular was useful to have, and pots, pans, cutlery, etc were provided when requested. Shirete was an amazing, welcoming receptionist, incredibly helpful - no request was too much. The hotel is also situated in a great location if you want to visit Lucerne, Zurich and even Interlaken. Also a fantastic location for views of Mt Rigi. Would definitely stay here again for future central Switzerland visits.

Very good views from all around and very nice location. Rooms were very clean. Check-in and check-out was very simple. Staff was very kind and helpful. Definitely going to visit again very soon. No complaints.
