Palace Luzern

Nothing to not like - we splurged and stayed in a deluxe junior suite with a broad terrace overlooking the lake and Mt. Pilatus, which we climbed. Weather was perfect - Indian summer in September. The Friday night jazz trio was excellent. The restaurant, Jasper, was exquisite, the service perfect - efficient yet practically invisible. If I had to pick nits, I might add a Bose sound system in the room (we listened to jazz and opera from the flatscreen t.v.), and between the bar and restaurant they carried Taylor Fladgate tawny port 10, 20 and 30 year - why not the 40 year? On the other hand, the bathroom had a heated stone floor. Only regret was that we didn't have time to visit the spa, which offers a private room option. Next time, we might ask for the top room in the turret...overall a highlight weekend.
