Mandarin Oriental Palace can host business meetings, conferences, team-building days, weddings and private celebrations for up to 200 guests, with the whole hotel available for exclusive hire. The five-star hotel stands on the shore of Lake Lucerne at Haldenstrasse 10, in Lucerne, Switzerland.
Seminars and company events
The hotel organizes meetings, conferences and team-building programs, and it can also cater at a location of the client's choice. For a board retreat, a conference or an incentive, the whole property can be reserved for one organization, which gives complete privacy on the lakeshore. Each event room is equipped with audio-visual technology and high-speed connectivity, and a dedicated events team plans the day with the organizer. The hotel publishes a meeting package offer with a reduction of up to 10 percent.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings, engagement parties, birthdays, baptisms, confirmations and graduations are hosted in the same rooms. A wedding planner guides the couple through flowers, menus and decoration. The hotel can also be reserved in full for a wedding or a milestone birthday. Salon Alpine suits an intimate ceremony or a seated dinner, and the Lake Terrace and the Edelweiss Ballroom suit larger receptions.
Rooms and capacities
The Edelweiss Ballroom is the largest room and takes up to 200 guests for meetings and between 48 and 160 for celebrations. It has a lakeside terrace for private receptions. Salon Alpine seats up to 80 for meetings and 30 to 70 for celebrations. Its Belle Époque decoration dates from 1906. Primrose and Crocus take up to 18 guests and can be used separately or combined. The Grand Salon takes up to 6 guests for board meetings or video conferences, and its terrace looks over the lake. For celebrations, the Veranda takes up to 60 guests, the Lake Terrace up to 88, and the restaurant Colonnade up to 50.
