Park Hotel Vitznau

The Irish Green marble unfolds its interplay of delicate streaks and coarse inclusions in the most diverse shades of green in the Norge Fund junior suite. This suite is dedicated to Nordic design and the polished marble seems to radiate from within between delicate linen and muted colours. Although actually only one separating wall between the living area and the sleeping area, the stone is the real eye-catcher in this room. A completely different stone experience, on the other hand, reveals itself a little way down the corridor in the Schumpeterresidence. Frappocchino marble clads the walls on both sides of the round bathtub. In its rich brown tone, streaked with thin white veins, the stone is, in itself, a beautiful view from the tub. But its dark, comfortingly warm colouring also focusses the eye on the bright blue of the lake outside the window. In the Château d’Yquem residence, on the other hand, the Roma Imperiale granite looks like a modern work of art: On a white background with dynamic brown lines. Here, it dresses the room and shines in competition with the chandelier. And the outstanding 3D milling from Breitwieser sets the stage in Vitznau – in the Fokus residence, guests bathe amidst a wavy symmetry of finely cut Limestone White.

But even away from the so diversely designed suites, one stumbles across the stonework from Breitwieser again and again. At the pool, on the patio or in the wellness spa, the calm, generously laid and sandblasted Lasa Bianco Ortles visually unites the oasis of well-being into one unit. It is not only its restraint that particularly distinguishes this stone. Here, in Vitznau, in the middle of the Swiss mountains and with a view across Lake Lucerne, it can prove its elegant appearance, as well as its resistant properties, every day.
