Luxury fed by nature
The Living Circle is a Swiss hospitality group where nature and genuine hospitality come together – all under family ownership.
About us
Destinations in Switzerland’s most beautiful locations
We are The Living Circle – a collection of places with character and soul. Our world includes Alex Lake Zürich, Castello del Sole, Château de Raymontpierre, Storchen Zürich, and Widder Hotel.
We are the only hotel group in Switzerland that unites hospitality with three working farms and its own winery: the Schlattgut in Herrliberg, the Jura farm, the Terreni alla Maggia, and the Cantina alla Maggia. The circle of gastronomy is completed by the Caminada Group.
Sustainability
Acting consciously – Today and tomorrow
At The Living Circle, nature is both origin and responsibility. From the Storchen Zürich to the Château de Raymontpierre, each place honours its landscape and history. We live sustainability every day – through mindful farming, careful use of resources, and respect for community. Ecological, social, and economic awareness guides us, ensuring that what thrives today endures tomorrow.
History
Since 2017 – natural luxury in Switzerland
We founded The Living Circle in 2017 with a clear vision: to unite hotels, restaurants, and farms in a living connection between land and hospitality. Our guiding idea remains simple: Luxury fed by nature. Our story begins on the Maggia Delta, where the Castello del Sole stands amid its own farmland. From this landscape, our philosophy has grown across Switzerland – from countryside to city – carrying forward a tradition of craft, calm, and care.
Strong partnership
Caminada Group: Member of The Living Circle
Caminada Group, a member of The Living Circle, opens doors and kitchens in Andermatt, Bad Ragaz, Bangkok, Freidorf, Fürstenau and Herrliberg – where guests meet themselves and each other in the Alps, in thermal waters, in urban light, in quiet villages, in heritage spaces. Each location speaks its own language. Each one reflects what The Living Circle values: authenticity, craft, real encounter. It simply is, or it isn't. Visit them. You will know the difference.
