history

The hotel and restaurant tradition on the Sonnenberg is over 100 years old. In the middle of the 19th century a hotel was built, which initially served as a Kurhaus. In 1902, the Kurhaus was expanded into a magnificent grand hotel. The majestic building offered an outstanding panoramic view of Lake Lucerne and the Alpine panorama. But the economic crisis between the world wars brought the hotel to the brink of ruin. During the 2nd World War, the hotel ceased to operate. In the mid-1950s, the hotel was demolished.

Today’s Hotel-Restaurant Sonnenberg was built in 1962/1963. At the new location it offers an even better panoramic view of the Lucerne area, the lakes and Mount Pilatus.

Since 1 May 2007, Hotel Restaurant Sonnenberg has been run by «Verein Sonnenberg». «Verein Sonnenberg» is an association that offers people a opportunity to regain a foothold in the job market. We would like to substantially develop the existing abilities of people between the ages of 16 and 60.
