What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
The outdoor infinity pool, perched on a hillside beneath the spa’s stone facade, mirrors the lake below, the sky above and the mountains all around.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Walking trails wind across Mount Bürgenstock through alpine meadows, hovering nearly a thousand meters above the valley waters.
The rooms
Cosmopolitan interiors by Jestico + Whiles bring muted tones and tailored finishes behind the traditional alpine chalet facade.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
The terrace infinity pool stays heated to 34°C, and the indoor pool plays acoustic music through underwater speakers.
Sauna and steam
Slatted timber benches line the Finnish sauna, set beside a glass-walled steam bath and cold plunge pool.
The gym and spa
Technogym equipment faces the mountain slopes, and treatment rooms use Swiss skincare from Jacqueline Piotaz.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant Villa Honegg & Sun Terrace
Seasonal menus use herbs from the on-site garden and estate honey, served indoors or out on the terrace.
At the table
Bar 1905 pours cocktails over red leather stools, steps from a fireside cigar lounge and private cinema.
How it began
Local builder Emil Durrer constructed the mountain retreat in 1905, establishing a summer getaway that was fully restored in 2011.
