Art Deco Hotel Montana

As as Swiss, I never travelled much inside Switzerland. I am usually travel around in Asia, like Japan, Thailand, Taiwan. So I was seriously shocked how low quality the Swiss Hotels are. Besides this I was also in Interlaken, and have to say the hotels are mere Motel standard at a price tag from 300-500$ for 15m² not even clean. And it's not only this Hotel, many others around I had Lunch or Dinner are in such bad condition But to the "Art Deco" Montana... The best part is at the beginning. Reaching the entrance by a Cogwheel Car, is great, the lobby is nice as well and the terrace with lake view is beautiful. But then, comes the issue, the price changed, the day of the check in was 180$ cheaper for the same room than when I booked it. We didn't get any compensation which i didn't expect i Switzerland anyways, still a bit disappointed. But ok... off to the hotel room. The pictures prepared me to not have too much expectations but, the reality is just so heartbreaking worse. I stayed in cheap hotels for 80$ in China or Thailand with same standard. The Dyson Hairdryer didn't save the impression. We were the first 30 minutes really depressed, sitting on the bed full of regrets going to lucerne. It's all so cheap made for that price. Well, we recovered and left the hotel for travel. But bottom line, the cheapest hotels in Switzerland are barely worse than the range from 400-600$ like the Montana. If wanna luxury, better opt for those instagram famous Hotels for 1200$ + Anything else is all the same low standard. Side Note: In Switzerland 3-4 Stars Hotel Minibar is not free.

A great hotel situated just at the hill, with a great view of the lake. Can be a tad expensive, but the hotel is high tech and the rooms are comfortable, warm and feels like home. Love the duck in the bathroom too!

What an incredible stay! The entire team was lovely and the room was one of my favourites from our entire 7 week trip. What a stunning view from our balcony, and gorgeously designed rooms with good taste in decor. We loved everything about this hotel!

When I arrived a the Art Deco Hotel Montana, the reception was very informative, warm and welcoming! Very professional and helpful in every respect! My room at the hotel was a Grand Deluxe Lakeside. I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't the corner room shown online with the two balconies, but the balcony I had provided an amazing view of Lake Lucerne and Mt. Pilatus! The welcoming glass of champagne and bowl of nuts was a definite plus! The bathroom is amazing with the rainshower and the separate soaking tub! The lemon scented bath salts provided a relaxing soak after a long day of touring. The breakfasts were simply fabulous! In fact I enjoyed this hotel so much that I stayed an extra three days even though I had pre-paid hotel accommodations at another hotel with a group tour - about a 6 minute walk away! The funicular was a fun way to get to and from the street and the walk into the city center along the lakeside was very refreshing! My stay from start to finish at the Art Deco Hotel Montana was incredible! So spacious and so bright and colorful! And the A/C was the coldest I have ever experienced in Europe! The room service was wonderful as well! This was part of my 23 day European vacation and absolutely one of my favorite hotels!

Very pretty view of the lake! Do not love the hotel. Rooms are too small when traveling with 2 large suitcases and 2 people. The bathroom is very small too. The shower doesn't work very well either in this room. Too small of an area to hang clothes because of the selves that are in the way. Hopefully other rooms ate different. The dinner in the bar was great the 1st night. The 2nd night it was closed so we went to the beach club bar but left right away. Had dinner in the restaurant. Great food a little spendy. Waitress was very patient with us.
