Great team
The staff is undoubtedly the hotel's greatest strength. First there's Connie, the passionate hostess who personally greets you in the dining room. Then there's Gosia, who constantly prepares the finest dishes in the restaurant. And let's not forget Katja, who has worked at the hotel since day one with a rare attention to detail. On site, you're also likely to meet Laura, Moritz and Oksana!
The gourmet restaurant
What we also love about the Schlüssel: its delicious cuisine and restaurant. It has been awarded 14 points by Gault Millau. In an authentic 100 year old space, you will be surprised every evening by an inventive, creative and refined cuisine. Chef Gosia uses the best ingredients from regional producers. The wine cellar only contains European wines, of which about 150 come from Switzerland.
The hotel chooses its producers with great care. Twice a week, Patrizia brings several crates of freshly harvested fruit and vegetables from her farm in Kallenbach, just a few minutes' walk away. The cheeses come from Heidi's cheese factory in the village. The family fishery in Ennetbürgen supplies freshly caught treasures from Lake Lucerne. The short circuit is always favored.
Location
The village of Beckenried is located on the shores of Lake Lucerne, at the foot of the Klewenalp. Lucerne is just a 20-minute drive to the west. The lake’s name derives from the German term “Waldstätten,” which refers to the three original cantons of the country, joined by the canton of Lucerne. The scenery is breathtaking! Don’t miss the Glasi Museum (external link), just a 10-minute drive away, where you can discover the art of glassmaking.
