Trendy Post Hotel Weggis on Switzerland’s Scenic Lake Lucerne Offers a Romantic Valentine’s Interlude with a Designer Twist

(Hong Kong, December 22, 2008) – Trendsetting new European lifestyle destination Post Hotel Weggis is offering a romantic weekend Valentine's experience amid the breathtaking scenery of the Swiss Alps beside Lake Lucerne.

The Be My Valentine@POHO package available on February 14 is priced at 294 Euros for two at the 45-room boutique retreat nicknamed POHO.

Included in the getaway is a night in a “Valentines special” room with a seductive 4-course lover’s dinner and a cosy breakfast-in-bed, or a sumptuous breakfast buffet.

Included is a romantic bath set for a romantic bathing experience, celebrated with a sensual sparkling aperitif to sip in the bathtub!

Special amenities also icnclude late check-out till 3pm and complimentary access to the POHO Gym&Spa for Wellness, with its mystical jet-black pool, completing the package at the resort which targets the 20-45 age group with the promise of "chilling-out in style".

Born from the old Post Hotel Weggis, POHO boasts architectural structures that stem from the former 80s – and thus displays a modern facelift within the framework of statutes and political stipulations. The maintained dark anthracite foundations now form an interesting contrast to the upper floors concerning today’s architectural language. The stipulated tones of white, yellow and ocher are mixed in refreshing fashion with the blue and turquoise shades of the balconies – and horizontal streaks in yellow loosen up the vertically-structured façade. At night the new and discrete POHO façade illumination radiates contemporary urban light.

Located in the heart of Weggis, only the lakeside promenade separates the main building of POHO from Lake Lucerne. The POHO Lakeside Terrace is situated directly adjacent to the lake and naturally offers stunning alpine panorama views. For more than a hundred years the mild climate has lured pleasure-seeking guests from all over the world to the socalled “Riviera of Central Switzerland”, where chestnut trees, palms and orchids add to its Mediterranean flair. Weggis lies at only a 30-minute drive from Lucerne, but is also conveniently reached by boat or via Küssnacht on the bus.

The name POHO is more than just a hotel name. It has become an independent key visual and design pattern.

POHO embodies a creative decorative structure; designer furnishings and cool 60s fashion. Like a train of thought, in an all embracing manner, the logo extends through the entire design of the hotel, from tables in the dining room through to the various rooms. And even the staff outfits portray the gleaming POHO Look. The design was specially fashioned by designer Silvia Bessenich, and intentionally tailored to match the overall POHO concept.

At POHO, winter recreation ranges from winter sports and hiking high up in the alpine snowfields of nearby Mount Rigi to romantic outings on Lake Lucerne aboard a solar-catamaran, sightseeing, museum visits and shopping.

Post Hotel Weggis is an hour's drive from Zurich and sister hotel to one of Europe’s leading luxury hotels, Park Hotel Weggis.
