WINTER NEWS
2014/2015
DEAR GUESTS AND FRIENDS OF THE EDEN ROC
Throughout the year, the Hotel Eden Roc team looks forward to welcoming you. In
November and December, the rooms in the main building will remain open to you while
in January and February the rooms in the Eden Roc Marina are available. During the
winter season, we will be completely redesigning the 21 rooms on the third floors. Be
the first - to enjoy the elegant comfort of the rooms and suites refurbished by interior
designer Carlo Rampazzi at the beginning of spring. The reopening will be on
6 March 2015.
Since spring this year, Salvatore Frequente has held the culinary reins in the Restaurant
La Brezza and the Gault&Millau gourmet guide has already named him «Newcomer of
the Year in Ticino» in its 2015 edition as well as rewarding him with 17 points for his
culinary skills. We are all particularly proud of these two distinctions. During the winter
months, he will temporarily be back in the kitchen of the Restaurant Marina where he
will be preparing the popular Marina classics in a relaxed atmosphere.
We are looking forward to seeing you,
best wishes
Daniel Schälli and the Eden Roc team
PS: You can follow the progress of the renovation work from 15 November 2014 on our Facebook page.
