Switzerland is renowned for both the exceptional quality of its hotel sector as well as its health and wellness industry. The best of these two worlds combine at the Waldhotel by Bürgenstock, which promises to get you back on your feet completely. The 137-room wellness hotel impresses with both its architecture and the quality of its treatments. Who wouldn’t want to be pampered for a few days or weeks in this luxury resort, in a magnificent setting within the Swiss mountains?
Innovative, environmentally-friendly architecture
Located above Lake Lucerne and surrounded by pristine nature, the Waldhotel by Bürgenstock is part of a group of four hotels that make up the Bürgenstock Resort. The other three hotels include the Bürgenstock Hotel, the Palace Hotel and the Taverne 1879. For over 150 years, the Bürgenberg has offered an exceptional refuge in the heart of an enchanting alpine landscape. At the Waldhotel, find serenity, refocus on the essential – your health and well-being.
The Waldhotel by Bürgenstock stands out with its striking wooden facade, designed by the famous Italian designer Matteo Thun. Its design is both innovative and integrated into the environment, with demanding sustainable development standards.
All rooms and suites at the Waldhotel by Bürgenstock invite you into a world of balanced design, where raw elements such as wood and local stone blend with sensory surfaces. The elegant, modern décor is discreetly understated, because the real star here is the view of the magnificent Alpine landscape.
Rooms are a minimum of 40 m² and all have balconies. The bathrooms are spacious, with separate bathtubs and walk-in showers.
Large bay windows and mirrors create a feeling of space and light. In the superior category, suites are composed of one or two bedrooms with a maximum surface area of 150 m². The larger ones are true apartments, with kitchen, living room and fireplace.
The Waldhotel by Bürgenstock spa: a haven of peace
With its holistic concept ‘Healthy by Nature’, the Waldhotel Spa invites everyone to rediscover and strengthen their balance in perfect harmony with nature. Between the forest trails filled with pure air, alpine golf in the heart of an idyllic landscape, and cutting-edge facilities like the gym and Diamond Domes tennis courts, everything is designed for your fulfillment. Immerse yourself in a new harmony at the Waldhotel Spa, where nature, yoga, and meditation unite to revitalize body and mind.
While the spa at the Waldhotel by Bürgenstock may not be as spectacular as the Alpine Spa at the Bürgenstock Hotel just a few minutes’ walk away, it is still of excellent quality. It features a large indoor pool and an outdoor heated pool even in the middle of winter that allows you to commune with nature. This alternation between hot and cold is reflected in the spa’s design: cold Kneipp baths to stimulate the body, infrared saunas and lounge chairs by the fire to warm up.
There are plenty of relaxation areas and a particularly zen atmosphere throughout. The spa boasts 23 treatment rooms, with a comprehensive selection of massages and facials. People also come here for a beauty makeover, and the best cosmetics are used, always in a non-invasive way.
It should be noted that the establishment no longer offers medical treatments! However, the Waldhotel by Bürgenstock continues to distinguish itself with its first-class wellness facilities. Surrounded by breathtaking alpine landscapes, the complex offers a range of luxurious experiences and revitalizing treatments.
