Pressure continues to mount at the Gstaad Palace, which is now operating at full capacity. Demanding guests—and their pets—keep the staff extremely busy, with even four-legged visitors enjoying top-level service.
At the Palace, there are virtually no limits: one dog reportedly consumed gourmet meals worth 1,000 Swiss francs in ten days, while another required a patch of lawn because it refused to go in the snow. In the sunshine, the traditional seafood brunch takes place on the terrace, offering an abundant buffet at 220 francs per person, caviar not included. At the same time, a New York couple’s wedding adds pressure, as chef Franz Faeh carefully proposes changes to their menu during a tasting.
