Perfection is rare in the world, but not the approach to find it. The 23rd annual Readers’ Choice Awards includes 1,060 winners, elected by 25,9116 readers whose passion is travel.

The readers of Condé Nast Traveler have voted on their their favourite Hotels in Northern Europe. We are delighted to announce that among the Top Ten hotels in Northern Europe not only one or two, but five hotels are located in Switzerland!

The fantastic Beau-Rivage in Lausanne narrowly missed the top spot which went to the Four Seasons Gresham Palace in Budapest. Third is the lovely Baur en Lac in the heart of Zurich. Completing the list are the Fairmont Le Montreux Palace, the Victoria-Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa and the Park Hyatt in Zurich.

We are very proud to be featured so prominently on the Top Ten. Thank you, dear readers of Condé Nast Traveler, we take a bow!
