Mandarin Oriental, Geneva

The Hotel du Rhône is what a business hotel should be. Anything but the usual faceless downtown office block, this one is located (as the name may imply) on the right bank of the Rhône river, a picturesque situation, yet still convenient to Geneva’s business district and shopping destinations—it ...

Schinznach

Park Hotel Weggis

Park Hotel Weggis opened in 1875 as Hotel Bellevue, and still retains its authentic Art Nouveau facade; but beneath the old-fashioned exterior is a boutique hotel in the most modern of styles. The contrast could not be more profound, and is a welcome surprise to pass from the exterior, with its t...

Park Hyatt Zurich

The brand-new Park Hyatt Zurich may be a new addition, but it’s already indispensable. It’s got an absolutely central location, just off the Bahnhofstrasse, and given the kind of hypermodern efficiency and grown-up modernism the Park Hyatt chain is known for, it’s a wonder this town’s high-flying...

The century-old Dolder Grand was impressive enough as it was, but it entered a new league following a massive renovation by the British architect Norman Foster.

Tschuggen Grand Hotel

Please note: Tschuggen Grand Hotel is closed for the season from April 14th through June 26th. For 70-odd years this top-class Swiss mountain resort was strictly a ski-season getaway. But Arosa isn’t just for skiers anymore: as travelers everywhere embrace the sporting life, mou...

Widder Hotel

Throw out the stereotypes about Zurich and its stuffy bankers and chocolate shops—the Widder defies all these with strikingly inventive design, while never forgetting about the fundamentals that make Swiss hotels some of the most professional in the world. Cobbled together from ei...
