Jugendstil-Hotel Paxmontana

Perched on a hill in Flüeli-Ranft (Sachseln) in central Switzerland, this Art Nouveau landmark sits a short walk from the town centre. Easy access to nearby Lucerne sights is handy — the Jesuit Church, Chapel Bridge and Lucerne Congress and Events Centre are within reach for day trips.

Built in the late 19th century and restored to historic-monument standards, the Jugendstil hotel marries original Art Nouveau flourishes with modern comforts. The property reopened after a major renovation in 2011 and now offers 83 rooms, including four historic rooms that keep original period furniture. A long, glass-front veranda and terrace frame broad views over the Sarneraa Valley and Glaubenberg — perfect for dramatic morning light.

Find a restaurant, bar and a cozy coffee shop on site, plus a library, picnic and barbecue areas for laid-back afternoons. Wellness touches include a massage room, and skiers get easy access to off-site ski areas and ski passes. Practical perks: elevator, free parking zone, tour desk, laundry/ironing services and safe-deposit boxes. Wake up to valley views and reliable Wi‑Fi to keep you connected.

Conference hall and meeting/presentation facilities are available, with Wi‑Fi suitable for business use to keep calls and presentations running smoothly.

The Veranda restaurant serves regional and Swiss specialties from Obwalden with a picture-window view of the valley. A cafe and bar round out on-site options for coffee, cocktails and casual bites.
