Waldhaus Sils

The Engadine, with its majestic mountains and sunny valleys, quickly gives travelers pause in search of their place of strength. Those who want to linger here check into the Waldhaus Sils, opened in 1908, an architectural gem between the Wilhelminian and modern eras. From here you can look out over the lakes of Sils and Silvaplana, the Fex Valley and the mountains all around; it's an invitation to nature. If you don't want to accept this immediately, the five-star hotel, already in its fifth generation of family management, has plenty to offer: from active sessions on the tennis courts, mini-golf course and gym to soothing leisure in the three-story Waldhaus Spa with an indoor pool, saunas and a treatment area. The Arvenstube pays homage to Swiss cuisine - with respect to regional products and in a particularly traditional flair.

Bürgenstock Resort Lucerne

Anyone who has ever visited Lake Lucerne, which is surrounded by mountains, quickly has the feeling that they have found heaven on earth. Here, in idyllic Obbürgen, the Bürgenstock Resort Luzern has been located since 1873. In its 150th anniversary year (which, by the way, will be celebrated in the course of a grand festival on July 16, 2023), the legendary house presents itself as beautifully as ever. Culinary excellence in dozens of restaurants, excellent service and modern, elegant accommodations await guests here all year round; and the 10,000-square-meter Bürgenstock Alpine Spa, which offers panoramic views of the lake from many locations, will not be forgotten by luxury travelers for a long time.
