Loved the hotel. Great staff. Dinner took way too long to get food and really was the worst meal we had in Switzerland. We were disappointed that there was only one restaurant to choose from. Breakfast was amazing.
Excellent service and breathtaking view. Eating at Parkrestaurant Les Cascades is a must. Their course menu changes every day. Nicolas was a great server. All staff are great and accommodating. If you want to experience historical site- this is a place to be.
Looking forward to return.
