Great stuff, thank you. The pool and the mountain top location of the Honegg is a huge draw for us as well.
We are choosing between Lucerne area and Zermatt, so that is definitely on our radar
Zermatt is my #1 suggestion for anyone visiting Switzerland, so you really can't go wrong. I'll also add that Lucerne is very accessible by train, so you could branch out to stay in Zurich and just do a day trip into Lucerne, check out lake Zug (underrated IMHO) by going to Arth-Goldau, take the funicular up to the Rigi... you're spoiled for choice in that region. Zermatt requires a dedicated journey there, but is amazing to see at least twice, winter and summer.
Saas Fe is also very nice for being car-free. (Or Braunwalden, but there's nothing luxurious there as far as I'm aware)
