Overview
About Jailhotel
Authentic prison feeling in the first Jailhotel in Switzerland.
The Jailhotel is located in the heart of Lucerne, right in centre of the Old Town, and only a few minutes away from the lake. This former prison was built in 1862 and was converted into a prison hotel in 1999, the first in Switzerland. It’s a great budget choice for visitors and offers a number of conference rooms and business facilities.
A total of 56 different rooms and suites are offered from original “Unplugged“ rooms where you have a bunk bed and more authentic prison experience, to the larger “Most wanted” rooms, and largest Theme suites of Prison Governor, Library, Barabas and Falling Water.
The thick walls, solid doors and barred windows retain their original feel and as you're sleeping in a converted cell, shouldn't expect your room to be huge. Private bathrooms are small-but-adequate with a shower. The Unplugged rooms have their private shower across the corridor.
Great atmosphere, fantastic location and easy budget prices

which is always open from Thursday till Saturday, so expect a little more noise than usual. Hotel guests have free
entry to the disco.

Map & Activities
Close to the rail station, there is a public parking garage called ”Altstadt“ (www.parking-luzern.ch) only 5 minutes walk away from the hotel for guests arriving by car. Special parking cards for public parking spaces in the city are available at the reception.
Although you’ve got a city centre location, the street is quiet and you’re close to the main sights of the city. Chapel bridge and the 13th Century Watertower,- the landmark of Lucerne and the most photographed monument in Switzerland are less than 10 minutes walk away. Just off nearby Lowenplatz in a small park, we recommend viewing the carving of the dying lion by Bertel Thorvaldsen. Visitors also flock to the Verkehrshaus der Schweiz (Swiss Transport Museum), about 10 minutes away using public transport, and we recommend a full day to visit its exhibits.
Cannot display Google map for this hotel.
A visit to Lucerne should definitely include a trip on the historic
paddle steamers with trips lasting from one hour to a 6 hour fondue and
gastronomic tour. They are in service daily from Easter until the end of
October.
