The eco-friendly car-free Bürgenstock Resort at Lake Lucerne, Switzerland, is on track to meet its scheduled opening date in early 2017, according to a representative for the resort speaking exclusively to Spa Opportunities.
The 400-bedroom resort is owned by Katara Hospitality – which is in turn owned by the state of Qatar. Katara Hospitality Switzerland AG – a subsidiary of Katara Hospitality – is the developer and operator of the Bürgenstock resort, which will feature a 10,000sq m (107,639sq ft) 15-treatment room Alpine Spa.
The total investment sum currently amounts to approximately CHF500m (US$514m, €472m, £345m), CHF15m (US$15m, €14m, £10m) more than the amount predicted in May 2014 – when the project was first announced.
The core shell work of the resort’s Palace hotel is complete, and the Grand Hotel Residence Suites’ core is in full progress, according to a spokesperson. “10 of the 28 suites in Residence B of the Panorama Residence Suites building are ready for rental and the sewage system work for the Bürgenstock Hotel is underway,” continued the resort’s representative. “Excavation is in full progress at the Lakeview Residence building and Villa Daniel. The Waldhotel is currently being constructed as well. The resort’s power plant will be operational as of April 2015 too. The tender for the spa’s construction has been awarded but construction has not begun.”
Patrik Dierks Norbert Sachs Architekten and London-based interior designers MKV Design are in charge of overseeing the resort’s completion.
