Baslertor Summer Pool Hotel

Baslertor Summer Pool Hotel is an Altstadt hotel at Pfistergasse 17 in Luzern, beside the medieval Basler Tor gate. The old town setting places the hotel within a few minutes' walk of the Kapellbrücke, the Reuss river, the Jesuit Church and the main pedestrian streets, while the railway station is roughly fifteen minutes away on foot. The surroundings are historic and relatively quiet at night compared with the lakefront, and the medieval gate gives the location character. The hotel's distinguishing feature is a small outdoor pool open in summer, which is unusual for an Altstadt property in Switzerland and a welcome option after a day of sightseeing in warm weather. Rooms are offered as Standard Rooms and Superior Rooms, with indicative double-room rates from about CHF 170 to CHF 300 per night depending on season. Wifi is listed among the amenities, and the hotel does not advertise an on-site restaurant in the data held here, so guests typically dine at the many old-town restaurants nearby, including those on the Kornmarkt, Weinmarkt and along the Reuss. The guest rating of about 4.4 indicates a well-regarded stay at a mid-range price. Service character is leisure-oriented, suited to couples and independent travellers who want to be inside the old town rather than at the station. Visitors should note that narrow streets and historic buildings mean access by car is limited, so arriving on foot or by taxi is easier, and parking should be checked in advance. Summer is the key season given the pool, and demand is highest from June to September and during festival weeks. Overall the hotel combines a medieval-gate setting, a seasonal pool and mid-range pricing in the heart of old Luzern.
