Laendli was originally a convalescent centre for those recuperating from major trauma or surgery. Over the years because of the way in which the Swiss medical insurance works, it has become more of a holiday hotel and a conference centre. ||The welcome you receive is amazing, they cannot do enough for you. The meals are excellent and good values for money (by Swiss standards). The rooms are bright and airy and have a very good room service, From many rooms you can look over Aegerisee towards the snow capped mountains. It is set in extensive woodlands with well maintained paths. The sports facilities on site include a warm indoor swimming pool, whirlpool, sauna, steam baths, gym, hire of cycles, free use of rowing boats on the lake and lots of well marked paths on the surrounding hills. In winter there are skiing possibilities on the higher hills around the valley.||There is an on site cafeteria||As a tourist centre it is convenient for Zug, Luzern and Zurich.||For British people the down side is that with the rate of exchange against the Swiss Franc, it can seem rather expensive, although there is a complete range of prices from basic rooms to luxury rooms.||In addition there is a spiritual aspect with counselling and bible teaching, which is available for those who desire it.

Read moreOriginally or partly run by protestant nuns, this is the place to go if you just need to give body, soul and spirit a break. The (upper class with sea view) rooms are spacey enough, so are the bathrooms, with ample cupboard space. Only the shower is very small. The sea view is beautiful with enough possibilities to walk (or cycle). Everything is very clean, everyone friendly and ready to help, the rooms quiet. The Spa area is plain but well equipped, with a big (warm) pool, fitness area, saunas and whirlpool. Massages can be booked. They have their own "beach" access to the lake. The breakfast buffet is great, hot meals are good, especially the salad buffet and the soups. There is also a cafeteria which could do with a bit of improvement and one minus point is for their very expensive tea and hardly any wlan, except at the reception (maybe that's why there is such a big lounge ;0) This venue can also be used for conferences and weddings. If you like you can join the church services (church and nuns are next door) or get counseling. You can get to Ländli by train and bus, but then have to walk about 100m uphill unless you phone, then they drive down to pick you up. A lovely place...
Read moreOk but no the best…
The location is great but the rooms were antiquated, and whole room outdated, loud fan-toilet, bed not so comfortable although we had a nice lake view. We also had to pay an extra of 15 francs Per Person! if we wanted to use the pool. When we checkout the lady at the reception wanted to charge the pool per day but we had agreed in our checking with another receptionist that it was included for the two days as we only stayed one night. The pool was nice and since we guess is low season wasn’t so crowded. We paid around 160fracs for the night and no type of breakfast was included, nor coffee etc, +30 francs for two people for using the...
