Past project
Chambre Séparée
A pre-renovation hotel became the setting for 4 restaurateurs to design and run their respective floors as restaurants in one of the most unusual pop-ups. We were given the opportunity to be part of Switzerland's first pop-up hotel, always striving to be at the forefront of innovation in the hospitality industry. The Hotel Ambassador Zurich gave us the use of their premises for a few weeks.

The Paddock
In partnership with the Municipality of St. Moritz and Festival da Jazz, The Paddock became a vibrant summer hub on Lake St. Moritz.

Who we are
The name “KUSCH” was quite simply our two last names put together – then again “kusch” in Swiss German means “are you coming?” for a drink or a dinner. We are, after all, best friends first and foremost, best friends who love good meals and want to invite all others to share in those experiences.

In addition to his years of experience in providing the highest quality service to guests and leading teams, Patrik is a graduate of one of the world's finest hospitality institutions, Glion.

Men Schneider
Men's entire life has had roots in the international hospitality industry. He began his career graduating from an apprenticeship at the luxurious Badrutt's Palace Hotel St. Moritz, and then went on to earn a degree in Hospitality Management from a prestigious school - Les Roches. Throughout his career, he’s travelled around the world to learn the ins and outs of cultural diversity and management. His far voyages have been serving as source of inspiration for unique ideas, concepts and perspectives that he brings with him to every project he’s part of. Undaunted by the unknown experiences, he’s worked in remote places from Cambodia, through the Seychelles to China, where for two years he was a member of the management team responsible for the entire country’s Kempinski hotel portfolio. But apart from this global worldview that he brings back to his home of St. Moritz, he’s also gained a great deal of experience in his home country, Switzerland. Prior to starting KUSCH, Men worked at a beloved local venture la baracca st. moritz, as well as the luxurious resort Gstaad’s most iconic hotel – Gstaad Palace.
