This festive season Le Richemond, Dorchester Collection's Swiss property, will be offering guests the chance to enjoy the holidays in style with a relaxed Christmas Family Package or a more adventurous Designer Christmas Package exploring the nearby ski slopes.
Encompassing the festive charm of Switzerland's snow-capped mountains and frosted lakes, Le Richemond's Christmas Family Package offers its guests a Christmas market on the hotel's very own lakeside terrace for families to purchase some traditional presents from local Swiss artisans. After some Christmas shopping, younger guests can savour gourmet hot chocolate, chocolate fondues and hot spiced apple juice, whilst adults can enjoy a warming mug of cider whilst admiring the spectacular views over Lake Geneva. The Christmas Family package gives special consideration to children, enabling them to decorate their very own in-room Christmas tree and sample the elves' sweet treats at the hotel's pop up North Pole sweet shop.
For guests wanting to take advantage of Le Richemond's proximity to the likes of Verbier, Gstaad, Megeve and Chamonix, the Designer Christmas Package offers a luxuriously hassle-free ski holiday. Upon arrival, guests are offered a complimentary servicing of ski equipment from one of the hotel's sports experts, and guides and instructors of the highest calibre can be reserved by the hotel's Concierge. There will also be personal shoppers on hand at the hotel from leading brands such as Moncler, Bogner and Chanel to provide guests with any outfit additions for those looking to treat themselves before embracing the slopes. To travel and ski in ultimate style, the hotel can arrange a heli-ski service to take guests directly to and from the slopes at an additional price. After a long-day skiing, guests are offered an in-room sports massage and a nourishing Ski Tea, followed by an evening of relaxed in-room dining or dinner in the highly acclaimed signature restaurant, Le Jardin.
