The Kameha Grand Zurich hotel opened in Switzerland earlier this month, surrounded by 128,000sq m (1,377,781sq ft) of forests, meadows, ponds and Zurich's Kameha Lake. It also features a Kameha Spa designed by Marcel Wanders.
The 245-key hotel is the first Autograph Collection property by Marriott in Switzerland. It was developed by real estate development company Mettler2Invest, owned by Peter Mettler. On completion it was handed over to Turintra AG, a real estate fund of Swiss bank UBS. The UBS fund is therefore the owner and lessor of the property. Kameha Grand Glattpark Betriebsgesellschaft operates the property as part of a long term lease.
A representative for the hotel told Spa Opportunities that the 300sq m (3,229sq ft) Kameha Spa features four treatment rooms, two saunas, a steamroom, relaxation room/ roof terrace, in addition to a gym. House products include Alessandro, Spa Manufaktur, La Biosthétique and Artemis.
In addition to a number of leisure activities, the hotel offers a choice of two dining options – one Italian restaurant and a Japanese outlet.

For every member with a tripod and a big following, there are others irritated at the way equipment is being hogged or wary they’ll be in the background on someone’s Insta feed. Do influencers offer valuable, free marketing or are they just a nuisance? Kath Hudson finds out how operators are responding
Collaborations with the medical profession and greater aspirations around wellbeing are creating a need for more experts in our sector. It’s time to reboot our thinking around the workforce
If the health service is to

us, says the activity advocate
and healthy ageing champion.

Strength training is evolving,
driven by changing consumer
preferences. Julie Cramer talks

Elevate is set to celebrate its 10th anniversary in style this June, with organisers
confirming the event’s largest-ever drinks reception as registrations continue to run more
than 10% ahead of last year.
For decades, strength training equipment at commercial fitness facilities has remained
virtually unchanged: rows of pin-selected weight stacks, heavy plates, and racks of
dumbbells. i-Strength is here to change the game with its adaptive strength training system.
