The Dolder Grand
The Dolder Grand is set on a lush hilltop overlooking Zurich, with museum-grade art collections adorning the hotel. The design by London-based Foster + Partners is striking. Clearly, all of this indicates that the hotel places a high value on aesthetics. You will find more of this appreciation in the hotel's acclaimed spa center—a 43,000-square-foot oasis featuring a chic central pool, outdoor spa, relaxing areas, a spa library, and a café.
Don't let the century-old appearance of Park Hotel Vitznau, which resembles an ancient castle, fool you. Inside, the hotel is a stylish modern paradise, featuring Michelin-starred restaurants, unique themed suites, and James Bond craftsmanship. When you swim in the infinity hot spring pool at the hotel's spa, you'll definitely feel like you're in a 007 movie. The pool is built on terrain that juts out towards the Rigi Mountains, standing high above Lake Lucerne.
Tschuggen Grand Hotel
Starchitect Mario Botta did not want the Tschuggen Bergoase SPA center to disrupt the lush mountain scenery above the town of Arosa. Therefore, he built the 54,000 square foot spa center underground, with striking sculptural skylights along the hillside making it the only building that allows views of the forested slopes from below ground. The wellness paradise inside the building features 12 spa treatment rooms, a gym equipped with Techogym and Kinesis brand equipment, yoga and meditation areas, and multiple terraces and lounges, one of which even has a fireplace.
Kulm Hotel Arosa Kulm Alpin Spa
For over 160 years, the Kulm Hotel has contributed to shaping the image of St. Moritz as a winter travel destination, attracting generations of jet-setting VIPs due to its proximity to activities like skiing and tobogganing. Whether you visit in winter or summer, make sure to set aside some time to experience the hotel's spa, a pioneer in the creation of Swiss wellness centers.
The Chedi Andermatt
As you approach this hotel located at an altitude of 4,800 feet (approximately 4,800 meters) in the heart of the Swiss Alps, you will faintly sense a touch of Asian flair. In recognition of the design style of the Singapore-based GHM hotel brand, renowned architect Jean-Michel Gathy incorporated numerous Oriental design elements into this hotel and residential complex, which features 123 rooms. These elements, combined with warm wood, soft leather, and bright lanterns, create Switzerland's most unique version of Alpine style design.
Grand Resort Bad Ragaz
In the mid-13th century, Benedictine monks discovered hot springs emerging from the rocks of the Tamina Gorge at the foot of Pizol Mountain, now known as the St. Gallen Rhine Valley. Although accessing the monks' original changing room in the 1800s was somewhat dangerous—bathers had to lie down and be pulled by ropes or carried in sedan chairs—Bad Ragaz still became one of Europe's premier spa destinations and the first indoor thermal pool on the continent.
Grand Hotel Kronenhof
Located outside the village of Pontresina in the lush Engadin Valley, the Grand Hotel Kronenhof has been one of Switzerland's most popular holiday destinations for 165 years due to its proximity to summer and winter activities, its diverse culinary and dining options, and its historic wine cellar (which has provided most of the Veltliner wines to guests and local residents since the two World Wars).
Le Grand Bellevue Hotel
Despite the elegant Le Grand Bellevue Hotel in Gstaad—one of the few hotels in Switzerland with 'palace' architectural features—undergoing a thorough renovation in 2013, the story doesn't end there: This June, the hotel opened the 32,300-square-foot Le Grand Spa, with soothing decor inspired by the hills and valleys surrounding the Bernese Oberland.
Bürgenstock Resort
Despite the elegant Le Grand Bellevue hotel in Gstaad—one of the few hotels in Switzerland with 'palace' architectural features—undergoing a thorough renovation in 2013, the story doesn't end there: This June, the hotel opened the 32,300-square-foot Le Grand Spa, inspired by the soothing decor of the hills and valleys surrounding the Bernese Oberland. This true SPA features 17 different wellness and thermal areas, including a hay sauna, a Himalayan salt cave, and an invigorating ice fountain. Outside, there is a large swimming pool and hot tub, a Kneipp foot bath trail, a sun terrace, and a fragrant alpine garden.
Located on the shores of Lake Maggiore, Eden Roc Resort is a Mediterranean-style hotel in Switzerland with a private lakeside beach that evokes the feeling of the Mediterranean Amalfi Coast—albeit with views of distant snow-capped mountains. Although the resort's 21,500-square-foot spa may seem modest compared to the sprawling spas of the Dolder Grand and Bürgenstock hotels, it is well-regarded in the world of spa wellness. The spa features a hydrotherapy pool, a Kneipp foot massage area, a large outdoor pool, and mixed-gender or female-only steam rooms and saunas.
