Our take
Schmid & Alfa is a three-star on the edge of Lake Lucerne in Brunnen, with renovated rooms, many looking over the lake and the mountains, and a restaurant serving traditional Swiss cuisine with a terrace. Brunnen is a lakeside town, not a ski resort, so I would not book it for slope access. With an 8.5 from nearly 1,000 reviews, I would choose it for a winter lake stay with day trips into the mountains.
- Request a room with lake and mountain views for the most memorable experience.
- Dine at the Haddock restaurant to savor authentic traditional Swiss cuisine.
- Explore the local area for outdoor activities like windsurfing or skiing, depending on the season.

Why guests love itHotel Schmid & Alfa sits right on the edge of Lake Lucerne in Brunnen, and our renovated room had a view over the lake and mountains that we loved waking up to. The rooms felt fresh and modern. Dinners at the restaurant featured traditional Swiss cooking, and on mild afternoons the terrace by the water was the perfect place to sit. A relaxed lakeside base for exploring central Switzerland with the family.
