In Switzerland, the journey deserves a little time of its own. Watch lakes and mountain villages pass from a train window, then settle somewhere you can explore on foot. Basel offers art-filled days beside the Rhine, Ticino brings lakeside lunches and hillside lanes, while Zermatt, Verbier and Adelboden draw you outdoors for summer walks and winter skiing.

Our collection includes a leafy city courtyard, terraces overlooking Lake Lugano and mountain hotels with timber bedrooms and fireside lounges. Spend the day out in the fresh air, then return for a bath, a book or dinner downstairs. Whether you choose a few days of galleries or a week among the peaks, a welcoming hotel makes coming back part of the pleasure.
