Kempinski Palace Engelberg

Kempinski Palace Engelberg

10/10 Excellent
"The Kempinski Palace Engelberg is nothing short of exceptional, a masterclass in luxury hospitality that leaves zero room for disappointment. From the moment you arrive, every single detail is executed with precision, elegance, and genuine care. The property itself is pristine, maintaining flawless cleanliness and refined standards throughout. The spa and swimming pool offer an extraordinary wellness perfect for unwinding after a day in the mountains. For evening relaxation, the cigar lounge and bar provide an incredible atmosphere, complete with an outstanding selection of expertly crafted drinks. What truly elevates the experience, however, is the staff. Every single team member goes above and beyond to make you feel like a valued guest. That level of hospitality never wavers right up until the very last moment. As we were departing, the bellman and valet team were right there ensuring we had cold water and drinks for the road ahead. An incredible stay from start to finish. Kempinski Palace Engelberg sets a gold standard for luxury service."
