Badrutt Palace Hotel, St. Mortiz, Sleeps Until December; Restructures Top Management

The Board of Directors at Badrutt's Palace Hotel AG streamlines the organization of the traditional house and restructures the top management level. The board appointed Richard Leuenberger as the new Managing Director and transferred the operational responsibility to him.

With the future-oriented restructuring of the top management level, Badrutt's Palace Hotel AG will receive a slimmer organizational model adapted to the size of the hotel with a shorter level of decision-making.

The management now includes only two levels, consisting of Managing Director Richard Leuenberger and his subordinate department heads.
