Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Royal, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
For a quieter stay, consider requesting a room on a higher floor (4th floor or above) as the hotel has a lift that can accommodate a moderate number of guests, reducing the likelihood of frequent stops and noise. Additionally, rooms on the 4th floor and above may have a better chance of overlooking the scenic rooftops of Luzern, offering a more pleasant view.
Rooms to avoid
If you're a light sleeper, it's best to avoid rooms near the service entrance, which is located on the ground floor. This area tends to receive more foot traffic, potentially disrupting your rest.
Quietest floors
The upper floors (4th floor and above) are likely to be quieter, given the lift's capacity and the reduced likelihood of noise from the service entrance.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise in Luzern is generally moderate, with occasional traffic and pedestrian activity. However, the hotel's location on Rigistrasse, a relatively quiet street, might help minimize external noise.
Insider tips
If you're driving, consider parking at the nearby parking garage, as street parking can be limited and metered. Be sure to explore the hotel's on-site breakfast options, which offer a range of Swiss specialties and a convenient starting point for your day.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field

Top Attractions in Luzern
💡 Go early morning (around 7-8am) to avoid crowds and get clear photos. Most bus tours arrive after 9.30am. The tower isn't open to the public, but you can walk the bridge for free.
💡 Pack a picnic from the Coop supermarket at Hertensteinstrasse 7 (just off the promenade). The best benches are near the Schutzengel statue at the east end, especially for watching the paddle steamers come in.
💡 Best at sunset on a clear day - the light on Mount Pilatus and Rigi is stunning. From the eastern end you can see the iconic Kapellbrücke (Chapel Bridge) perfectly framed.
💡 It's a quick stop - 10 minutes maximum. Combine with a walk through the adjacent Glacier Garden (small fee) if you want more history. The monument is behind the Alpineum cinema on Denkmalstrasse.
💡 Climb the Schirmer tower (closest to Löwenplatz) for free views over the old town roofs and lake. The wall walkway is open May to October only. Wear decent shoes: the steps are steep and narrow.
