I used to work in the hotel industry, and now my work involves hotels. Last Christmas, I also stayed in different hotels and resorts in Switzerland. This blog will introduce different information about the hotel industry in Switzerland.

 

 

A major feature of Swiss life culture: I will definitely be exposed to skiing in winter. The first hotel I stayed in during this trip in Switzerland is the newly opened The Chedi Andermatt Ski Resort.

 

The difference between hotels with new buildings and hotels with old buildings is that many advanced equipment can be introduced and installed. All the equipment in my suite can be used IPad.

 

Including fireplace, click iPad It can be ignited under the control of. It is very suitable for lying down with this electronic device!

 

The concept of the resort must bring a sense of leisure. The suite I stayed in included a balcony. I looked at the snow mountains in winter and nature in summer.

 

 

The ski resort is not far from the hotel. In winter, natural snow can be ensured without artificial snow.



Andermatt The village used to be a training base for the Swiss army, which is a little different from other famous Swiss ski resorts. This town is low-key, and the scenery seen on the balcony is relatively natural.

 

The design of hotel buildings is typical of the traditional Alpine style. The large triangular roof is to avoid the load pressure on the roof caused by snow.



Winter is the peak season for skiing here. Generally, the skiing season in Europe is from Christmas to Easter (From December to the end of March) In summer, you can climb mountains, hike, ride cross-country bicycles, etc. Anyway, you can contact nature and breathe fresh air all the year round.

 

 

The hotel restaurant has many students from the Swiss Hotel Management School interning here, so the service level is also guaranteed. And these interns come from all over the world and can master several foreign languages.

 

Living in this resort is also a lifestyle Experience, different furniture and lighting bring different life experiences.

 

A bottle of Swiss wine rarely seen in China will be displayed as a gift in hotel suites.

 

The living room of the presidential suite has a fireplace in the middle.

 

A Bath Party can be held in the extra large bathroom! Except Jacuzzi bathtub also has sauna and independent rainforest shower.

 

The concept of a resort is to hope that tourists can relax and spend in it. How can we use the details of environmental design to attract tourists to stay in the resort? For example, the corridor is designed with chairs and coffee table， The glass frame is a fireplace.

 

 

In the Alpine style spa, a rabbit blanket is placed on the massage bed.

 

 

Use American quality brand massage bed.

 

Each massage room is also equipped with a fireplace.

 

 

After the massage, you can go to the rest room Relax, this is one of the best lounges I have ever experienced.

 

 

The design is very user-friendly, with double beds and single beds.

 

In front of each bed, there is a large screen, playing different silent films of nature. Therefore, earphones are not provided here, because they are not needed at all. The purpose is to completely calm and relax.



Another selling point of the resort is the open swimming pool.

 

 

The wooden floor beside the swimming pool is rare in China, but it is very Alpine style.

 

 

The insulated glass curtain wall is snowing outside and warm inside. I swim from darkness to dawn here to fight against jet lag. The small garden outside also has an outdoor artificial hot spring, but to avoid catching cold, I still swim indoors.

 

 

The railway station is at the entrance of the resort, which is convenient for access.

 

It takes about 15 minutes by train to reach the main railway station at the foot of the mountain.

 

From this main railway station, you can reach different big cities in Switzerland.

 

Different travel maps are hung in the waiting room of the railway station to facilitate passengers to choose different travel modes.

 

 

In several official languages of Switzerland (clockwise from the upper left corner: German, French, English (unofficial language), Italian) introduce the information of climbing beside the main railway in summer to passengers.

 

From G ö shenen We go north to Luzern, and south through the mountain tunnel shown by the dotted line, we will arrive at Ticino, the Italian region of Switzerland

 

After leaving the Alps, I checked into a boutique hotel near the lake in Lucerne. It was about 10 minutes from the downtown by bus, which was very convenient.

 

Chocolate Christmas decorations seen in the hotel restaurant.

 

 

Each chair in the outdoor restaurant is equipped with a blanket and Christmas hat.

 

Next use of Grand Ballroom in China Ballroom)， Check whether there are windows or a fully enclosed banquet hall. Personally, I think the ballroom with windows has more atmosphere.

The window of the banquet hall faces the peak of Pyratus.

 

You can walk along the lake as soon as you go out.

 

 

The lake side rooms are equipped with small balconies.

 

It is convenient to watch the sunrise in the morning.



Recently, I saw a survey initiated by the United Nations, saying that Switzerland ranks first in the happiness index.

 

I personally experienced such natural scenery in Switzerland, so it is not surprising that I ranked first.

 

Stay in the suburb of Oerlikon in Zurich Swiss ô tel, The location is also very convenient, just in Oerlikon Next to the railway station, it is only one railway station away from Zurich International Airport. The newly renovated lobby has some interesting furniture, such as the above table in the shape of Swiss cave cheese.

 

Reception in lobby The table and roof are also designed with wood materials, and the chandelier has design elements. It is designed by Marcel from the Netherlands Wanders  Design Heracleum II lighting produced by Moooi Company.

 

 

The hotel lobby is the first impression of the brand, and different hotel brands have their own characteristics. For international hotel brands in China, some lobby is resplendent, some are low-key and luxurious, some are fashionable and dark, with unique fragrance, which are different from hotels Brand Identity。

 

Fashion hotels will use designer furniture. Is the cover of this book Madmoiselle chairs designed by Philippe Starck?

 

Swiss ô tel Junior Suite, With wood flooring, I often stay in different hotels on business trips, most of which are carpeted floors. Personally, I think this kind of wood flooring is more sanitary.

 

Swiss ô tel The conference room is named after Swiss city and lakeside city. Friends who have read in Swiss Hotel Management School It should be very familiar, because there are world famous hotel management schools in these two lakeside cities. Genf (Geneva) It's Geneva. Although Geneva or Zurich are relatively famous big cities, the capital of Switzerland is actually Bern.

 

Everyone knows that I like studying language very much. The four official languages of Switzerland cannot lack simultaneous translation in international conferences (Simutaneous Interpretation)， The loft of the hotel conference room is specially designed with a simultaneous translation room for translators to work in a sound proof environment. Simultaneous Translation and Alternate Interpretation (Consecutive Interpretation) The difference is that the former tests memory more, because translation must be immediately listened to and then translated into other languages, while consecutive interpretation allows speakers to lag behind after each paragraph and use shorthand translation of their own notes.

 

 

More challenging is two-way simultaneous translation. When I lived in Belgium, I knew the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in Brussels The official languages of the organization are French and English. Simultaneous translation in the organization must be bilingual Interpretation  English<>French).

 

I also stayed overnight at the Hilton Hotel in Zurich Airport. A common pickup car in Europe, with a luggage compartment behind it.

 

How to ensure the revenue flow of airport hotels?

 

 

The geographical location far from the city center and the time of low occupancy rate on weekends have arranged children's cooking classes!

 

 

The front desk has a special ladder for children to register.

 

The blackboard of the hotel restaurant lists the food materials of each region in Switzerland.

 

Buffet area, although Camembert It's French soft cheese. I took this picture to show that foreigners eat cheese in such a big way. In the domestic buffet area, cheese is either placed in a whole, and customers can cut it into small pieces or the hotel can cut it into thin pieces in advance.

 

Appenzeller It is hard milk cheese produced in northern Switzerland.

 

 

Chicago Metallic from the United States Brand baking tools, they only do B2B (business to business) business.

Muffin made for breakfast.

The room I checked in is facing the departure route of the flight.

 

When you take a flight back to Shanghai, you will look back at the airport hotel in the air.



In the next article, I will continue to introduce Switzerland, but you have to wait patiently for a while. I am going to the United States on business this week.
