RESIDE N CE SUITES & VILLA S

Enjoy the comfort of the luxury resort with its outstanding culinary offer, housekeeping, concierge service and countless leisure activities. With breathtaking views of Lake Lucerne and the mountains, the Grand Residence Suites and the ten Lakeview Residence Villas are setting new standards.

With their modern architecture, the Panorama Residence Suites are not only impressive on the outside. They also define ‘the measure of all things’ with their interiors: rooms flooded with light and sun terraces with mountain views stretching from east to west.

YOUR A RRIVA L AT TH E RE S ORT

Enjoy a spectacular arrival with the shuttle ship from Lucerne and the Bürgenstock funicular. Or simply travel by train and post bus or by private car. There are also several landing areas at the resort where you can arrive by helicopter. If you travel by private jet, you can use Buochs Airport, which is a 15-minute journey away from the resort.

Bürgenstock Hote l The third and final location on our Swiss journey was the Bürgenstock Hotel located on the Burgenberg Mountain above Lake Lucerne. We found the Schweizerhof Hotel and Royal Savoy to be very impressive, but the Bürgenstock Hotel is elite. Set high up in the mountains, onto a backdrop which is beyond comprehension, the Bürgenstock offers everything and lacks nothing.

From its origins in 1873 to its heyday in the Fifties and Sixties, when Hollywood stars including the likes of Sophia Loren and Audrey Hepburn lived here, the Bürgenstock Resort has a unique heritage. After a nine-year £440m renovation, the resort, situated 500m above Lake Lucerne is fittingly spectacular. Just be prepared for the breath taking train journey that you embark on as you rise up into the mountains and into the hotel’s lobby.

The Bürgenstock is a one-of-a-kind resort that boasts world class services which includes medical treatment and multiple sports facilities. Guests can also indulge in steam, sauna and infrared sessions, hot and cold Kneipp baths, an ice room, a natural pond, a lap pool, and a heated brine bath with a salt content of 30%. Furthermore, there’s a well-equipped 24-hour gym with a program of fitness classes, and there are 15 spa treatment rooms, and three private spa suites. The body and face treatments use suitably quality brands such as La Prairie.

The Bürgenstock is placed at the pinnacle of European hotels, not just in its position above sea level! The sheer quality of its location, facilities, cuisine, style and staff makes this a resort that you must, at least once, visit in your lifetime.

F ootba l l ers L ife Review

THE BÜRGE NSTOCK SELE CTIO N The three establishments of the Bürgenstock Selection excel with exclusive service of the highest standard – be it the Bürgenstock Hotels & Resort Lake Lucerne, the Hotel Schweizerhof Bern & Spa, or the Royal Savoy Hotel & Spa Lausanne.

The Royal Savoy, originally built in 1909 and painstakingly restored to its original beauty, features 196 rooms and suites. As well as its 99 stylish rooms and suites, the Schweizerhof Hotel offers the elegant Sky Terrace with a 360° panoramic view over Bern.
