Easily the most-stunningly located hotel in town and one of only two five-star options,

century mansion set in immaculate grounds, it tempts with magnificent lake and Alp
views, a spa, two bars and a trio of upmarket terrace restaurants.

rooms are clean and spacious, and the kettle with complimentary tea and coffee in each
room is a great touch. On sunny days loll on the tiny tree-shaded terrace out front.

floor look over the lake and the best have a balcony too.
