Stayed for 3 nights over the weekend and used the hotel as a base for touring the area. As others have said, it's a great hotel. Even though I'm a globalist, I had SUA's to burn and used one for the stay, and I paid a mix of cash and points for the nights. All staff were very friendly. The two suites we stayed in were nice. We were so busy and got back late each night - so we didn't even visit the club when they had food.

Some additional thoughts:
- We were initially put in a Regency Suite (looked like this). It was nice with a view of the park, but the air didn't work very well, especially in the bedroom. Engineering came to look at it and said it was working, and it was in the living room, but it still didn't blow in the bedroom and it wouldn't get cold. So, they offered to move us to a Regency Executive Suite (looked like this), which I accepted. However, even after a full day/night of letting both units run on 64.5F with the curtains closed while we were out, the room(s) never got colder than 70.5...and it still didn't blow much in the bedroom. I assume the AC in normal rooms must work better because there's only one unit and the room is smaller. We liked the non-Executive Suite better, with the hallway in between the bedroom and living room. The hallway also had a desk with a pop-up mirror at one end...odd that the Executive Suite didn't have a desk, but it did have the round table.
- One other annoyance about the rooms is that they only had two Euro (Type C) outlets vs. several Swiss (Type J), and those Euro outlets were only in the bathrooms, e.g. one in each bathroom but none near the bed, on the walls, etc. PSA to bring an extension cord if you don't have Type J adapters. I get that it's Switzerland, but even the hotel in London had multiple Type C outlets in the room, near the bed, etc.
- The breakfast offerings were basically the same as shown here, and I thought the breakfast was good overall. However, we were surprised that there were no sweet pastries at all, e.g. no double chocolate muffins, chocolate croissants, fruit pastries, etc....just some umm ali (sp?), and one or two sweet cakes depending on the morning.
- We had a car and parking is at the airport in the garage below the hotel. I thought I had read that parking was free for globalists, but it's only free if you stay on points or award nights. Because an agent on the phone told me they validate parking for globalists, they validated one night of parking as a gesture of good will, which was great since the parking cost per night was 56 CHF (!).
