Hotel SEERAUSCH

What Hotel SEERAUSCH does

Hotel SEERAUSCH is a privately held event hotel located directly on Lake Lucerne (Vierwaldstättersee) in Beckenried, Nidwalden, Switzerland, operating 365 days per year. The property offers 41 rooms with lake or mountain views, a grill restaurant with an open-fire show kitchen and panoramic terrace, the SEELOUNGE lakeside bar, six Tesla Supercharger stations, and a 12-passenger house boat for shuttles and cruises. Event infrastructure includes a 200 m² banquet hall and seminar rooms ranging from 12–200 m², accommodating up to 220 guests for weddings, corporate events, family celebrations, and business seminars.

The business is built around a direct-to-consumer hospitality model with four principal revenue streams: accommodation (rooms from CHF 115/night), restaurant and bar sales, event hosting (weddings, corporate, seminars), and ancillary services (boat cruises, Tesla charging, stand-up paddle rentals). Pricing operates on a per-night, per-person, or per-event basis, with curated packages including the WIR customer package (CHF 950), Sunday brunch (CHF 55/person), and themed Silvester Dinner (CHF 145). Distribution is predominantly direct via the seerausch.ch website powered by VerticalBooking, supplemented by telephone/email reservations, walk-in restaurant traffic, and e-guma voucher sales, with social media presence on Facebook and Instagram. The core technology stack is light and SaaS-based: VerticalBooking for reservations, DialogShift for AI-assisted customer communication, e-guma for vouchers, and Google Analytics for web measurement.

The company is owned and operated by founder-host Gérard O. Kuhn with a six-person core management team (CEO Assistant & Seminar Manager, Head Chef, Restaurant Manager, Head of Housekeeping, Online Marketing & F&B Assistant), while open positions across front desk, kitchen, and service indicate a substantially larger operational workforce supporting year-round F&B, events, and lodging operations.
