The choice of the hotel of the year did not cause any headaches for the “Gault Millau” this year. The jury meeting was short-lived, said the renowned tour guide on Monday. The Bürgenstock resort was quickly chosen as the winner because it has “international class, charisma, and very authentic restaurants”.

Four of the resort’s restaurants

have been added to the “Gault Millau” guide: Bertrand Charles, head chef at the RitzCoffier, received 16 points. Chatsorn Pratoomma, who heads the “Spices Kitchen & Terrace” specializing in Asian cuisine, was awarded 15 points. Andreas Hasenloh at the heart of the “Oak Grill & Pool Patio” achieved 14 points, and Firas El-Borji as head of the “Sharq Oriental Restaurant” 13 points.

Not only the kitchen but also the rest of the hotel convinced the testers in Bürgenstock. The rooms of the five-star superior Bürgenstock Hotel & Alpine Spa are praised up to 678 square meters, equipped with a fireplace and lake view from the bathtub. A “masterpiece of loving restoration” is also 1903 built four-star superior Palace Hotel & Conferences, it says in the message. In this, even more, attractions of the hotel mountain above Lake Lucerne are listed, such as the “incredible Infinity Edge Pool”.
