The Waldhotel by Bürgenstock is one of the hotels of Bürgenstock Resort Lake Lucerne, in Obbürgen above Lake Lucerne. Organisers can book meetings, conferences, private dinners, receptions and weddings across the resort. The event offer includes six named venues and, from April to October, event domes that take up to 550 guests. Event requests are made for one or several of the resort hotels, and the Waldhotel is one of the three it lists.
Seminars and company events
The resort sells business meetings, sales meetings, training and seminars, board meetings, incentives, trade fairs, anniversary parties and weddings. The request form asks for the hotel, the type of event, preferred dates, whether dates are flexible and whether VIPs will attend. It also asks for the seating style: U-shape, cabaret, seminar, block table, banquet without stage or cocktail reception. The team promises to call back within 24 hours to discuss the offer.
The Lakeview Ballroom suits larger conferences, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a wide view of the lake. The Private Cinema is the room for presentations, and the Private Dining Lago is described as a bright room for private dinners, board meetings and festive lunches. The Spycher is a Swiss chalet setting for concentrated workshops.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings have their own entry in the resort menu and appear as an event type in the request form. The Salle Palace, a Belle Époque hall in the Palace Hotel, is presented as the first choice for hiring a historic room for major social occasions. The Simmentaler Stube, a preserved Bernese-style room, suits private and smaller gatherings.

The official site names these venues. It gives a capacity only for the domes.
- Lakeview Ballroom: modern hall with lake views, for larger conferences.
- Salle Palace: Belle Époque hall in the Palace Hotel.

The resort also hosted the Summit on Peace in Ukraine in June 2024, which the site cites as proof of its experience with high-level gatherings.

The Waldhotel lists five room and suite categories, all with a king-size bed or beds. The Alpine Deluxe room with balcony measures 40 m² and the one with terrace 44 m². The Alpine Suite measures 80 m², the Serenity Suite 145 m² and the Vitality Suite 151 m², the last with two bedrooms. The hotel has its own Waldhotel Spa and a Private Spa Suite. The resort's other hotels, the Bürgenstock Hotel & Alpine Spa and the Taverne 1879, can be added to a request for larger groups.
Catering
The resort lists several restaurants and bars: Spices Kitchen & Terrace, Oak Grill & Pool Patio, Verbena by Christian Scharrer, Lakeview Bar, Parisa with Persian cuisine, Restaurant Taverne and Osteria Alpina Terrazza. The site does not detail event menus, so catering is agreed with the events team when the offer is prepared.
History and setting
The site describes the Bürgenberg as a retreat for more than 150 years, set in an Alpine landscape. The Waldhotel is modern in architecture, with views of the Swiss Alps.
Getting there
The resort address is Bürgenstock Resort Lake Lucerne, 6363 Obbürgen. The site has an arrival page and mentions a funicular, but the details are not in the pages reviewed, so confirm the route with the events team.
