Park Hotel Weggis, a five-star Relais & Chateaux property in Switzerland, offers the luxury that some families seek. Located on the banks of Lake Lucerne with spectacular views of the Central Swiss Alps, pampering at their 16,000-square-foot Sparkling-Wellness facility is available for everyone from tots to parents.
From April 1 through September 30, 2008, "The Parc & Family Package" offers 5 nights accommodation in a suite, daily breakfast buffet, multi-course dinners for the whole family, a three-course Pizza Party Dinner, 1 day excursion to Mt. Rigi or Lake Lucerne with a packed picnic lunch, and a family ticket to the Swiss Museum of Transport and Communication in Lucerne including an IMAX film.
The package also includes 3 hours private use of a SPA-cottage where a "Sparkling Bubble Bath" is enjoyed en famille. In addition to treatments for mom and dad, spa services and amenities that have been exclusively designed for children from age 6-months to 16-years-old are also offered (for an additional fee.)
The Family package rate in the Mark Twain Suite (2 adults and 2 children up to the age of 16) is US$6,916, and in a junior suite (2 adults and 1 child) it is US$5,438. This 53-room, newly renovated, kid-friendly hotel, is bound to cover all relaxation needs.
Families with adult kids, Foodies, or couples looking to refresh their romance might be interested in the tempting "Parc & Wine" package available through January 31, 2009. Over the course of 3 nights of wining and dining:
enjoy complimentary bottle of Champagne Perrier-Jouet
meet the hotel's renowned wine sommelier in the hotel's wine cellar and sip an aperitif
indulge in a five-course gourmet dinner with appropriate wines at the Restaurant Annex
enjoy two four-course dinners at the hotel's Sparks Restaurant
Sparkling Breakfast Buffet daily.
For this 3N package, rates start at CHF 1,856 or $1,790 per room, based on double occupancy and season.
When the weather permits, adults have free access to mountain bikes, canoes, kickboards, billiards, table tennis and a free DVD rental, as well as complimentary babysitting (July and August only), while children have free access to a colorful playroom and to a variety of equipment for indoor or outdoor activities. Note that after the summer high season, rates fall at this luxury retreat so good values are available even without these super packages.
