Hotel Des Balances
Lucerne, Switzerland · ★ 4.7 Exceptional B.Booking.com 9.4
A private hot tub on your own balcony, overlooking the Reuss in the heart of Lucerne.
Imagine settling into the hot tub on your private balcony, the Reuss sliding quietly past below, the old town rooftops catching the last of the evening light. That's the particular pleasure of the Suite, Hot Tub, River View at Hotel Des Balances. It's one of the more genuinely well-placed spots you'll find if you're looking for a hotel with a private in-room hot tub in Lucerne, right on the water and within easy walking distance of the Chapel Bridge.
Inside, the suite has a warm, considered feel: herringbone parquet floors, a large jetted tub set into marble on a raised plinth, and a star-dotted ceiling above it that's a little theatrical but rather lovely at night. One honest note: the photos show the hot tub positioned indoors as well as the balcony feature, so it's worth confirming the exact layout when you book. Guests rate the hotel 9.4 out of 10, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Questions, answered
Is the hot tub actually outside on the balcony or inside the suite?+
The suite is listed as having a private balcony hot tub with river views, though the photos also show a large indoor jetted tub. It's worth calling the hotel to confirm exactly which tub sits on the balcony before you book.
What's the view like from the suite, and is the hotel well located for exploring Lucerne?+
The suite faces the Reuss river, and Hotel Des Balances sits right on the waterfront in the old town, putting the Chapel Bridge and the main sights a short walk away.
Where is the in-room hot tub suite located in Lucerne, and what does it overlook?+
Hotel Des Balances sits right on the Reuss riverbank in the old town, so the suite looks directly onto the water and the medieval bridges. It's about as central as Lucerne gets.
How much should I budget for a night in a private hot tub suite in Lucerne?+
Rates at the property we list sit at around €297 per night, which is fairly consistent rather than wildly seasonal, though booking ahead is wise during the summer festival period and Christmas market weeks.
