The Bürgenstock Collection is delighted to announce the addition of The Adria to its portfolio, the very first member hotel outside of Switzerland. The Adria joins the collection as its fourth hotel, alongside Bürgenstock Resort Lake Lucerne, Hotel Schweizerhof Bern & Spa, and the Royal Savoy Hotel & Spa Lausanne.
The Adria is an elegant 1870s townhouse in the heart of leafy South Kensington, just a stone’s throw from Hyde Park and London’s leading museums and galleries. Having previously been a private residential home, The Adria was acquired by Katara Hospitality, parent company for the Bürgenstock Collection, in 2021. The property underwent a £1 million restoration, led by renowned hospitality interior design consultants Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA), before opening its doors to the public in January 2022. With 24 boutique rooms and suites, The Adria offers a serene hideaway amid the bustle of central London. It possesses a contemporary luxury and antique style – as befits its 19th-century townhouse setting. The guest rooms seamlessly blend effortless design with modern convenience.
Stefan Leser, executive director of The Bürgenstock Collection, comments: “The addition of The Adria to The Bürgenstock Collection is an exciting step for the group, in welcoming our first property outside of Switzerland. The Adria embodies all the qualities we strive for in a hotel, with the utmost in service, style and a prestigious heritage. It will be a pleasure to work with the team in London to continue develop The Adria’s respected reputation both within the city and internationally.”
Gary Redmond, general manager at The Adria, adds: “Joining the esteemed team at The Bürgenstock Collection is an exciting prospect for the hotel. To be aligned with some of the most recognised properties within Europe and being able to learn from their expertise is exciting for the whole team at The Adria.”
