We stayed here for one night at the beginning of April. The first day it was snowing from about half way up on the cable car and continued to snow all day and night. We had some views on the way up on the first day and some views at the top that day also. The next day you couldn't... More

After reading reviews on the restaurant at the top of Mt Pilatus, we were prepared to have an expensive lunch. But in the end, the meal wasn't that expensive in swiss standards. The prices here are the similar to that in Lucerne town. I had the best cheese maccaroni in switzerland here. The cheese maccaroni came with some bacon in... More

If you can survive the gondala's up the mountain (was really windy and snowy when we went up) it is well worth it. A beatiful old hotel on top, large rooms each with breath taking veiws, good storage, big bathrooms, and rooms were very warm and cosy at night. Staff were friendly, breakfast was a nice selection of breads, cheeses,... More

This hotel is in a fantastic location, and for those wanting a quick escape from city life I would highly recommend it! The website does not give a lot of detail, but there are quite a few things to do up there. There is a walkway through caves in the mountain with great views out to Lake Luzerne and surrounding...

You need three cable cars to get there at the top of a mountain at 2100 metres....The ride is nice with breathtaking views over Zurich lake and the mountains ( Eiger, Jungfrau...). Room was nice, confortable...and quiet. View was stunning. Restaurant is nice, a bit old deco style but very satisfactory. Food price was also ok keeping in mind where... More

Pilatus Kulm renovated the Hotel in a traditionell and unbelievable immense effort (1600 Heli-flights and thousands of tons of material). But that is not enough! A very professional and enthusiastic Team (that unfortunately have to wear ugly fleece vestons in black and red ;-)) providing Best Service and a very high class cusine! It was a great time!

I am from Singapore, and everyone knows it nevers snows in Singapore. Hence I decided that it will be a once in my lifetime experience to stay on top of a more than 2000m tall mountain in Switzerland, all enshrouded in snow. That will be so awesome! But one has to be careful of what they wish for... I definitely... More

We had just one magnificent night high a top Mt Pilatus and one we will never forget. The ride up alone is fun and once we arrived at our room, we were so impressed. As it had just recently been refurbished in 2010, we expected the room to be quite nice, but it was so much more. Big, spacious and... More

This hotel has been upgraded in 2010 - so you might want to disregard any review placed earlier than 2010. We stayed there in October 2011, and we had a great stay! You are on top of a steep mountain, granting you excellent views all around Switzerland, if the weather is good. If the weather is really bad, there is... More

What an amazing experience! We stayed and loved the views, the staff, and the food! mmm the best food I have had in quite some time. The dinner was wonderful, it was my birthday and they prepared a celebration chocolate cake for me. The breakfast was superb, with freshly beaked bread included. Very reasonable price too. I would love to... More
