What's better than any Midsummer Night's Dream? Checking in at the Gstaad Palace, for a summer full of daydreams by the poolside and invigorating treatments in the Palace Spa. Explore the Gstaad region on 300 kilometres of hiking routes, then dance the night away in the GreenGo. Or perhaps you'd rather relax over a leisurely fondue in the Palace gardens. Whatever your preferences, the Gstaad Palace has the perfect leisure experience for you. The five-star hotel in the Bernese Oberland will soon be opening its doors, so come and see for yourself – it’s not a fairy tale, it’s real!
The Gstaad Palace is busy preparing for the start of the summer season on 24 June 2022. Andrea Scherz, General Manager and owner says about the re-opening: 'Every time a new season is upon us, it feels like the première of a stage play – rehearsed a zillion times but still incredibly exciting. We can't wait to welcome our guests and show them the refurbished areas around the indoor and outdoor pool, as well as the new board room. I’m especially excited about the classic car auction by Bonhams on 3 July 2022, which is returning to the Gstaad Palace for the first time after 14 years. We are currently also in the process of redesigning our online presence. The new website will go live in June and will present our hotel in a refreshingly different, yet characteristically distinctive style. We have made good use of the low season to further develop various aspects of our hotel and we're looking forward to receiving feedback from our guests.' Andrea Scherz, who has taken on an additional responsibility this year as the new chairman of 'The Leading Hotels of the World', is well aware that even a seasoned establishment must never stop improving. The Gstaad Palace has therefore invested in its future with a number of renovation projects.
Stylishly reinvented – the refurbished pool areas and new board room The comprehensively modernised indoor pool and new outdoor area of the Palace Spa are simply perfect for lounging, unwinding and savouring the moment. Surrounded by graceful Art Deco features, visitors to the Spa find themselves in an oasis of relaxation. The real showstopper, however, is the new bar. Serving freshly prepared smoothies and snacks during the day, it is transformed every night to function as part of the GreenGo night club, thanks to state-of-the-art technology. The Spa design combines wood and brass elements with muted warm colours to create an elegant interior, interspersed with tropical planting for a hint of exotic glamour. The glorious view of Wispile mountain and the Diablerets range as seen from the jacuzzi is an added bonus, especially after enjoying one of the spa treatments with natural plant substances. Extraordinary and extra- easy, experience complete relaxation in typical Palace style. The redesigned gardens also emanate tranquillity and ease. With a completely new planting scheme, the verdant recreational grounds are perfect for unwinding.
By contrast, the green natural stone table of the new hotel boardroom keeps hard-working minds sharp and focused, even on the hottest of summer days. With a fresh new look, the meeting room offers space for 12 people and cutting-edge video conferencing facilities. Confidential meetings of any kind can be held here in a calm and composed working environment. An adjoining lounge area, equipped with a small kitchen, offers additional space for breaks and informal exchanges.
«PISCINE» and GreenGo – the places to be this summer Following an extended period of renovation, the new outdoor pool bar has been up and running since the summer season 2021. Now renamed «PISCINE», the Olympic-sized outdoor pool built in 1928 has become the place to be both for hotel guests and day visitors. Elegantly integrated in matching Art Deco style, the pool bar serves light yet hearty Comfort Food. Also gearing up to welcome summer visitors is the legendary Palace nightclub GreenGo. Once again, the club will be open to all throughout the season and is launching a promising new venture: Friday to Sunday evening from 5 pm, resident DJ and GreenGo mastermind Jim Leblanc will be extending his skills to the «PISCINE», providing cool beats to accompany your sundowner – just one of the many ways to enjoy summer 2022 at the Gstaad Palace.
