Description: |
The ‘grand’ in the name is no understatement. This Swiss landmark is the
epitome of traditional elegance, a favourite with personalities from the
worlds of politics, art and finance. Now offering state-of-the-art
facilities, its refurbished rooms – each individually decorated and most
with balconies to capture the views of the Matterhorn – employs pained
murals and wood panelling to create a warm and homely atmosphere. Begin
the day with a hearty buffet breakfast, then later dine in grand style in
the Prato Borni restaurant where French and Italian specialities top the
menu. In Restaurant Lusi, named after a type of local lantern, enjoy light
Mediterranean cuisine while savouring the spellbinding mountain panoramas.
Two bars provide cosy evening rendezvous points. For relaxation and
recreation there’s a large indoor swimming pool, sauna, wellness centre
and fitness room, with various massages on hand. In addition to skiing,
outdoor sports options include guided glacier tours, climbing lessons,
sledging and champagne helicopter flights.
84 rooms and suites.
4 hours from Geneva Airport by train and 3 hours by car.
