Four Seasons has announced that it will operate The Park Gstaad Hotel in Switzerland once the property reopens following extensive renovations.
The Park Gstaad is an iconic property in one of Europe's best-known mountain destinations and became the first five-star hotel in Gstaad when its doors opened in 1910. Owned by philanthropist, investor and sportswoman Dona Bertarelli, the property is undergoing a full-scale refurbishment led by Squircle Capital, with renowned interior designer Joseph Dirand. The property is anticipated to reopen as The Park Gstaad, A Four Seasons Hotel in time for the 2026-2027 winter season.
"Gstaad has long been a favourite destination in Europe for luxury travellers, and we are excited to have the unique opportunity to enter this exclusive market with such an exceptional property," says Bart Carnahan, president, global business development, portfolio management and residential, Four Seasons. "We look forward to working with our partners to bring together the very best of this legendary property with the service excellence of Four Seasons to create a world-class luxury experience."
The Park Gstaad, A Four Seasons Hotel will continue the property's legacy while offering the services and experiences for which Four Seasons is internationally renowned. The property offers scenic views of the Swiss Alps and is also a convenient walking distance from the town centre's gourmet restaurants and designer boutiques.
Following renovations, The Park Gstaad, A Four Seasons Hotel, will reopen with 75 rooms and suites. This includes a collection of luxury penthouse residences managed by Four Seasons that will be available for purchase, offering future owners the one-of-a-kind lifestyle experience and property management expertise that Four Seasons has offered since 1985.
The hotel also offers an array of unique restaurant and bar concepts, as well as a destination spa and fitness centre, including luxurious treatment rooms, and indoor and outdoor swimming pools. Additional amenities are expected to include indoor and outdoor meetings and event space, a tennis court, ski and bike services, Kids for All Seasons facilities, and an ice rink in the winter season.
As part of the commitment to create a positive impact for all stakeholders, an upgrade will also be made to the hotel employees´ accommodation, ensuring their well-being and comfort.
