The Dubai-based hospitality behemoth Jumeirah Group has purchased one of Switzerland's most famous hotels - Le Richemond. This is first Jumeirah hotel in Switzerland and its fifth in Europe (others in London, Capri and Majorca).
The hotel - founded in 1875 and which overlooks Lake Geneva - was once part of Rocco Forte Hotels and was also managed by the Dorchester Collection.
Le Richemond - which features 87 rooms and 22 suites - has been shut since 2020.
“This is an important acquisition for Jumeirah as it marks our entry into Switzerland … Le Richemond is a legendary property with a 140-year legacy and impeccable pedigree, and we are committed to preserving this heritage as we redesign the hotel,” said Katerina Giannouka, chief executive of Jumeirah Group.
Jumeirah Group operates 26 luxury hotels & resorts across the world including the famous Burj Al Arab .
