"Set on 148 acres atop an Alpine ridgeline overlooking Lake Lucerne, this extensively renovated, family-owned resort is a multi-hotel complex with a dozen restaurants and one of Europe’s largest spas (about 107,000 sq ft) featuring hammams, saunas and three pools including an outdoor infinity thermal pool with dramatic lake and mountain views. The property mixes historic buildings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries with newly added hotels and a medical spa, offers theatrical arrival options by boat and funicular, and has launched sleep-health programs, guided Hydrothermal Journeys led by a resident water sommelier and new recreational amenities such as pickleball courts." - Adam H.
