Park Hotel Vitznau, Vitznau, Switzerland
"Every delighted guest is the best advertising", says Thomas Kleber, who has been Managing Director of the Park Hotel Vitznau since 2005. Alone the location and architecture of the 100-year old Belle Epoque building take the visitor's breath away, especially coupled with an expansive view of the emerald green Vierwaldstätter See against the backdrop of the Alps.
A Fairytale Castle
The Park Hotel Vitznau was built between 1901 and 1903 by the architect Karl Koller on behalf of the hotel pioneer Josef A. Bon and has belonged to the Family Oetker since 1980. Since then numerous renovation jobs have been carried out so that today it appears in all its glory as a modern fairytale castle. Guests reside in 103 stylish elegantly furnished rooms and suites including 71 double rooms, 25 junior suites and 7suites – all of them spacious, decorated in pastel shades, furnished with antiques and equipped with modern telecommunications systems. The generously planned bathrooms are in white and pink coloured marble.
Outstanding Cuisine
The "Quatre Cantons" is the top restaurant at the Park Hotel Vitznau and can boast 15 Gault Millau points. It is located directly at the Hotel Park with its terrace only a few metres away from the lake itself. Here the guest can indulge in innovative Mediterranean cuisine.
Exclusive international cuisine is presented in the "Panorama Restaurant" located above. When the elements are kind, the Pool Terrace with an extensive range of summer snacks and grilled dishes entices.
