Park Hotel Vitznau

The first thing that catches your eye is the impressive floor-to-ceiling aquarium; but it surely isn't the only one.

For starters, there is the scenic swimming pool with outdoor and indoor areas and must-be-seen-to-be-believed views of the nearby mountains and the lake. Then, there is the professional staff.

Showing a true passion for what they do, the therapists make sure that all the rituals meet your standards and needs by carrying out thorough personal consultations before they knead and pamper you with a wide range of treatments.

You can treat yourself to a rejuvenating massage with essential oils, a tailored beauty treatment by La Prairie or a casual manicure.

If you are travelling with your better half, then you should definitely try one of the romantic couples treatments on offer.

The spa also boasts Kneipp foot paths, a tepidarium and an ice-grotto to help you relax and regain your inner balance.

After rewarding your skin and muscles, it's time to nurture your body and mind at the culinary restaurants housed in the hotel, where you can savour innovative recipes that will leave your taste buds tingling.

Please note that children under 14 years old cannot use the spa.

Yet the more casual Restaurant PRISMA has little to envy.

Housed in a glass pavilion with 180º views of the lake and the mountains, it gives diners the chance to taste contemporary recipes amidst unbeatable views.
