Lucerne, Switzerland, 12 July 2011 (IB) – What could be nicer than simply switching off for a couple of days, relaxing and enjoying a rest from the dozens of emails, hundreds of appointments and calls - not to mention the constant pressure of time? That is precisely the purpose of 'Spa & Sounds', the Palace’s special offer to coincide with the Lucerne Festivals from 10 August to 18

September and from 21 to 27 November. The two-night package is an exceptional treat, comprising classical music combined with a Balinese body treatment where warm stones are applied to rhythmically soothe away the last signs of stress. The package is priced starting at CHF 1027 per person in summer and at CHF 827 in November in a junior suite with lake view. It includes the breakfast buffet, spa treatment, concert ticket and butler service. The special extra is that anyone wanting literally to go offline simply hands in their mobile phone to the Concierge on arrival. The Concierge then answers all calls and, at check-out, hands the phone back to the guest together with a call-back list.

Lucerne Festival in Summer 2011 unites the finest orchestras, soloists and conductors like Claudio Abbado, Pierre Boulez, Daniel Barenboim, Riccardo Muti, Sir Simon Rattle – to name only some of the outstanding artists who will perform in a total of 34 symphony concerts as well as in chamber music and solo events. Whoever wishes to gain an overview of the art of piano music should pay a visit to picturesque Lake Lucerne in November. Lucerne Festival at the Piano brings together top representatives of the pianist guild: legendary masters and promising young artists, philosophers at the keyboard and the celebrated virtuosos. It is only a few minutes’ walk from the Palace along the lakeside promenade to whichever concert the guests have chosen from these highlights of classical music. 'Spa & Sounds' guests can, if they so wish, dispense with the walk - especially if the ladies are in elegant high heels

- as they are entitled to a Jaguar limousine service between the concert venue at the

KKL Luzern and the five-star hotel.
