Barabas Hotel Luzern

About

You don't have to book an expensive flight to San Francisco to admire a former prison. Hotel Barabas in Lucerne is Switzerland's first prison-themed hotel. Heavy doors, iron bars, small windows, simple beds, and walls that tell stories - all of these elements evoke the former purpose of the Central Prison in Lucerne. Whether sleeping in a cell, the former office of the prison director, or the old library, today's Hotel Barabas offers plenty of comfort and is a unique experience for people of all ages, located in the heart of Lucerne's Old Town.
