Lenkerhof gourmet spa resort – Relais & Châteaux Overview
First Impressions
When I pulled up to Lenkerhof gourmet spa resort – Relais & Châteaux, honestly, I wasn’t prepared for how striking it would be against the Alpine backdrop. This five-star luxury retreat sits right in Lenk, and you can tell immediately that someone put serious thought into every detail — from the way the building seems to grow naturally from the mountainside to the warm lighting that makes everything feel inviting even on a gray Swiss afternoon.
The Equestrian Experience
What really sets this place apart for riders is how seamlessly they’ve woven horse experiences into the luxury spa concept. The hotel works with local stables that know these mountain trails like the back of their hand, and I mean really know them — they’ll take you on routes where you’re crossing Alpine meadows one minute and winding through dense forest the next. The staff actually coordinates everything, so you’re not fumbling around trying to arrange rides yourself, which honestly was a relief.
Rooms and Luxury Details
My room had this incredible view straight out to the Bernese Alps, and I spent way too much time just standing at the window with my morning coffee. The design walks that perfect line between traditional Swiss charm and contemporary luxury — think rich woods and clean lines, but nothing that feels stuffy or overdone. The bathroom alone was bigger than some hotel rooms I’ve stayed in, with this deep soaking tub that became my go-to after long days in the saddle.
Dining and Wellness
The gourmet side of things really lives up to the name — their restaurant focuses on local ingredients prepared with serious skill, and you know what, after a day of mountain riding, that combination of refined technique and hearty Alpine flavors hits exactly right. The spa deserves its own mention too; they have this outdoor infinity pool that somehow stays warm even when there’s snow on the peaks, and the treatment rooms use local herbs and techniques that actually make sense rather than just sounding fancy.
Why Guests Love It
Look, Switzerland has plenty of luxury mountain resorts, but most cater to skiers or generic wellness tourists. This place gets that riders want something different — access to serious mountain trails, but also the kind of sophisticated comfort that makes you want to linger over dinner and actually use that gorgeous spa. The Relais & Châteaux membership isn’t just for show here; they really deliver on that promise of exceptional hospitality, and the 9.1 rating makes perfect sense once you experience how smoothly everything runs. It’s the kind of place where you can push yourself on challenging mountain rides during the day, then sink into genuine luxury at night.

Hannah from United Kingdom (2 January 2026)
All was lovely, staff especially helpful and beautiful hotel. Spa treatments very good. Very kid friendly hotel and super efficient.
What could be improved: They should have fresh coffee at breakfast. All of breakfast is great except machine coffee isn't good. They have loads of fresh tea, so doesn't make sense.

Beautiful location and facilities especially outdoor pool. Staff went out their way to accommodate us. My mum couldn’t walk back to hotel as she hurt her ankle, from our walk into the town and they picked us up. They provided a free pick up service from train station in a top of the range Volvo. They also provide a free train voucher so do enquire...

We loved everything about this hotel. The staff was incredible, the food amazing. The warm infinity pool and spa was exactly what we needed after a long day of hiking.

Richard from Switzerland (11 May 2025)
My second visit because I liked it so much the first time. Everything about it is very good. Little things that mark this hotel out included, for example, repleneshing free soft drinks in the minibar as needed and again nicely acknowledging my birthday over dinner. I will also mention the bar where I enjoyed drinks while listening to the live piano...
