The first Stay KooooK in western Switzerland is being built in Geneva

The new extended stay house of the Stay KooooK brand is being built on the Rue de la Servette in Geneva. The location couldn't be better: Cornavin main station is a ten-minute walk away. With the tram right in front of the door you are in twenty minutes at the international exhibition center Palexpo, in fifteen minutes at the airport and even faster at the UN headquarters, the Palais des Nations. The city's landmark, the Jet d'Eau on Lake Geneva, is also just a stone's throw away. The ideal place for travelers who want to stay longer in Geneva and feel at home.

The season gets underway in Davos

The winter season in Davos is up and running. The Steigenberger Grandhotel Belvédère will be reopening for business on 7 January 2022 and has two exciting offers in store for its guests. "The Sky is the Limit" package will allow holidaymakers to combine a two-night stay including breakfast with a truly breathtaking paragliding flight over Davos. This deal also includes a cheese fondue dinner and an express sports massage. The "MouCuiWay" is a deluxe package for all those who are merely seeking to switch off and pursue a culinary adventure. In this case, special half-board stays are available for between 2 and 4 nights. The highlights comprise a Swiss evening featuring fondue together with a starter and dessert, an Italian-style dinner at which a 'Dolce Vita' 3-course menu will be served and a Spanish experience complete with six mixed tapas and a wine pairing. There is also a "European Journey", which involves an international 4-course menu. An afternoon English high tea is also included. A 50-minute deep relaxation massage session and an express facial will also both ensure that guests are able to unwind.
