Hamptons International, the premier property services company with a global portfolio of prestigious projects, has entered the Switzerland market with a property marketing contract for the prestigious Du Parc Kempinski Private Residences developed by Swiss Development Company (SDC).

Located in the picturesque hills of Mont-Perelin, one of Switzerland’s most frequented and preferred tourist destinations, Du Parc will feature 24 luxury hotel residences that are being redeveloped by SDC. World-renowned interior designers BBGM and landscape expert EDSA are working on revamping Du Parc, earlier a hotel.

A representative of Hamptons International said the Swiss expansion of the company’s portfolio will be a perfect fit for its exclusive global client base, especially those based in the Middle East region. “Switzerland is an exclusive holiday destination for visitors from the Middle East region. The Du Parc project offers owners privacy and ease of access to the mountain resorts of Verbier, Gstaad and Zermatt by a short helicopter ride and will be an ideal second or third home thanks to the pleasant climate, beautiful scenery, sense of security and the hospitality of the locals.”

They added: “Du Parc offers four distinctive advantages – the association with one of Switzerland’s trusted developers; breathtaking location; elegance of design and exceptional service provided by Kempinski. With only 24 apartments, Du Parc will be an exclusive address, and will pamper guests with an array of innovative facilities and impressive design.”

Nicolas Garnier of Swiss Development Company said the partnership with Hamptons offers strong inroads for the company to reach out to a wide customer base in the Middle East region, specially. “Du Parc is the first of its kind serviced residence in Switzerland and our redevelopment focus on design aesthetics will be complemented by the service expertise of Kempinski.”

Located in a classical Belle Epoque style building and set in 3.2 hectares, Du Parc homes are located above Lake Geneva in the heart of the Lavaux region. They are described as ‘beyond luxury’ apartments to highlight the pampering lifestyle experience that awaits customers. Five star hotel service will be provided by Le Mirador Kempinski Mont-Pelerin and international concierge services by Quintessentially. A cigar lounge and a 650 sq m private spa are other features.

The company redefines the scope and depth of luxury living by going beyond property to create the ultimate lifestyle options for its clients.
