Three of its hotels - the Bürgenstock Hotels & Resorts Lake Lucerne, the Hotel Schweizerhorf Bern & Spa and the Royal Savoy Hotel & Spa Lausanne - have just undergone major renovations, now reopened and ready to dazzle summer visitors from all over the world.
Each rich in heritage and designed with a contemporary elegance, the three hotels also feature leading spas and world-class culinary offerings whilst consistently staying true to the timeless Swiss of traditions of hospitality, service and discretion. Where will you stay first?
ROYAL SAVOY HOTEL & SPA LAUSANNE
Plumped pretty in the beautiful city of Lausanne, the Royal Savoy Hotel & Spa Lausanne is a 196-room Grande Dame that oozes fairytale mystique. Originally opened in 1909, its recent glam-slam restoration has added a modern sensibility to the original building’s Art Nouveau detailing, mixing the past and present with panache. The tailor-made service is, as you’d expect in Switzerland, second-to-none, allowing guests to revel in legendary luxury whilst feeling truly at home. The addition of a new wing is proud home to the hotel’s palatial 1,500sqm wellness spa, while world-class views can be found at Skylounge, a cosmpolitan and elevated bar with breathtaking panoramas.
Set in the leafy-meets-chic district of Ouchy, surrounded by beautiful Belle Époque buildings with Lake Geneva just a five-minute amble away, and the Alps serving as your backdrop here, enchantment is a promise.
HOTEL SCHWEIZERHOF BERN & SPA
If Herringbone oak parquet floors, chandeliers, cigar bars and panoramic views of the Bernese Alps sounds like a dream, Hotel Schweizerhof Bern & Spa will top your travel list. Welcoming guests since 1859, the property has five-star hospitality truly finessed.
Located on an UNESCO World Heritage Site, Bern is a city characterized by its cosmopolitan charm, with medieval buildings next to world-class architecture and design, and churches next to babbling fountains, making it the perfect escape for those wanting a slice of Switzerland with a hint of nature.
The hotel itself has no shortage of luxury amenities - dine on classic Swiss favorites in Jack’s Brasserie (including the wildly popular Wienerschnitzel), indulge in a massage at the most exclusive spa in town with a massage that uses pure flakes of 24-carat gold, or simply lie back and enjoy the French charm of your Presidential Suite (designed and furnished by Maria Katsarou Vafiadis), with 120sqms of unparalleled luxury, including a Japanese bathtub, walk-in dressing room, private kitchen, and both living and dining room.
