MANDARIN ORIENTAL LAUNCHES NEW ‘DRIVING THROUGH THE ALPS’ EXPERIENCE

Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group has launched an enticing accommodation package that combines a stylish stay in trendsetting Milan with a relaxing break at the enchanting Lake Lucerne. Available until 31 March 2023, the Driving Through the Alps package includes exquisite dining experiences, relaxing Spa moments and extra benefits to enjoy the best of both venues.

Italy’s fashion and design capital Milan is a vibrant cosmopolitan city, home to exclusive boutiques and designer showrooms. Occupying four elegant 18th-century buildings, Mandarin Oriental, Milan lies at the crossroads of the city’s fashion, business and cultural districts, a stone’s throw away from the city’s main sights and world-famous art galleries, museums and La Scala opera house. Offering exclusive dining options, from Michelin-starred cuisine to world-class mixology, the hotel also has a state-of-the-art Spa.

Thanks to its proximity to beautiful Switzerland, Milan is the ideal starting point for an easy road trip to picturesque and bewitching Lucerne. Guests take a scenic and breathtaking three-hour drive through the Alps, accompanied by a hamper of delicacies provided by the hotel, and reach the stunning shores of the lake where, like a grand dame, stands Mandarin Oriental Palace, Luzern. With its iconic Belle Epoque architecture, magnificent views and delicious gastronomic delights, this luxurious Palace is the perfect place to discover the Old Town’s charming streets and enjoy a wide selection of outdoor activities.
