Hotel Pickwick and Pub

Hotel Pickwick and Pub is a small hotel above the Pickwick pub at Rathausquai 6, directly on the Reuss riverfront in the Altstadt of Luzern, Switzerland. The address lies between the Rathaus and the Kapellbrücke, so the covered bridge, the Wasserturm and the old-town squares are all a few steps away, and the riverside promenade outside is one of the liveliest in the city. The railway station, the KKL concert hall and the lake boat landings are a short walk along the river, so the hotel works well as a base for both sightseeing on foot and rail or boat excursions. The hotel is a mid-range property, with indicative double-room rates of about CHF 160 to CHF 300 per night depending on season. Rooms are offered as Double Rooms and Superior Rooms, and the available data lists a river view among the amenities, so guests can ask for a room facing the water. Wifi and the pub are the other listed amenities. The pub downstairs is the main attraction for many visitors, providing a casual place for a drink or a meal, with menus and opening hours best confirmed directly with the hotel. The social atmosphere is also the main caveat: a pub on the riverfront brings noise and foot traffic into the evening, particularly on summer nights and weekends, so light sleepers should ask about quieter rooms before booking. No spa, pool or fitness area is listed, and the offer is an informal, characterful stay in a prime location rather than a polished luxury experience. The service character is relaxed and casual, which suits travellers who enjoy a lively old-town setting and a pub on the doorstep. With a guest rating of around 4.3, the hotel is well regarded for its position and atmosphere. The Altstadt is largely car-free, so arrivals by car need a nearby garage, while rail visitors will find the walk short. Advance booking is recommended for July, August and the Christmas market period, when riverfront rooms are in short supply.
