The unique infrastructure makes the Bürgenstock the leading pre-alpine resort with international star appeal.
The ICON building is located between SPA and the Palace and is oriented toward Lucerne. The main building contains two wings, arranged around the striking terrace. The elevation is balanced due to its horizontal design emphasis. The new buildings were set on the edge of the slope and shifted against each other. The buildings are oriented towards north and south but also provide a west-east exposure with views to Hammetschwand, the valley and the bernese alps. The glass penthouse tops the stone base of the west wing.

The piazza is the center piece and meeting point of the resort. It is lined with boutiques and cafes but also with the station of the Bürgenstockbahn. A covered courtyard encloses the piazza and connects it with the Palace as meeting place even during bad weather. The hotel itself and its interior is inspired by legendary movie scenes. Sources of inspiration were „Goldfinger“, „Lost in Translation“, „North by Northwest“ and „Ironman“.
The new hotel offers 111 luxurious rooms with spectacular views of Lake Lucerne, to Lucerne itself and of the Alps. The hotel is situated 440 meters above the lake on a rock of the Bürgenstock.
