Deluxe comfort demands the highest expertise
In a close symbiosis of architecture and logistics, the two new sweeping wings clasp the historical main building in their embrace. The latter is once again clearly oriented to the south and opened up: the entrance is to be found here again as it used to be, and the new Garden Restaurant which fits snugly into the slope offers a magnificent view. The interior of the historical building was restored in line with conservation standards and partially rebuilt. The objective was to design 173 hotel rooms and 450 further rooms completely individually and in accordance with the latest technical know-how. To this must be added a tasteful wellness area, the ballroom with its light dome and restoration of the Dolder to the highest standard.
Interior Design
Interior design that meets the very highest standards. Rooms imbued with history have been restored and reconstructed in keeping with heritage conservation standards – and now, they engage in a thrilling symbiosis with modern design. The result: sophisticated, eye-catching illumination scenarios that contrast with the understated elegance of the spa area.
