Looking to recreate the concept of the pop-up hotel or go even further by creating a dining experience nobody has heard of before? We’re right there with you.

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.

Patrik Kuhn

Patrik started his career in IT, before taking his skills into the world of hospitality. He received his hospitality training at the Kempinski Hotels, Europe’s oldest luxury hotel group. He worked in front of house, as well as in the catering/banqueting, and F&B service, in Switzerland, Germany, and Qatar. 

Aside from his years of experience in providing the highest quality service to guests and managing teams, Patrik also graduated from one of the world’s finest hospitality institutions, Glion, where he further honed his hospitality management skills and learned to bring a unique financial perspective to the table.

 

His analytical knowledge was put into application as an analyst at Cushman & Wakefield, one of the world’s largest real estate firms, where he studied the hotel market and provided appraisals and financial analyses for clients.

In the last 8 years, Patrik has been a pivotal consultant helping hand at La Baracca St Moritz and gaining the necessary experience in entrepreneurship to launch KUSCH.

Men Schneider

Men’s entire life was rooted in international hospitality. As a teenager, he started his career and graduated from a Chef School at the luxurious Badrutt’s Palace Hotel St. Moritz and then went on to obtain a hospitality management degree from a renowned higher institution – 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 Enterprises, Men worked at a beloved local venture La Baracca St Moritz, as well as the luxurious ski station Gstaad’s most iconic hotel – Gstaad Palace.

ST MORITZ

Chamanna

This iconic mountain lodge on the slopes of Corviglia is a project very close to our heart. Since taking over daily management of this local favourite, we have strived to offer a dining experience that is both comforting and fun. The restaurant serves up hearty traditional mountain food with unbeatable Swiss Alps views that complete any skiing vacation. At the same time, we offer Asian-inspired fare, creative cocktails (hot mojito, anyone?), and gorgeous interior decors that elevate the ‘chalet’ experience.
Most importantly, we prize excellent service above all else, treating our guests like they are family, and fostering a community that is warm, friendly, and celebrates being in one of the most beautiful spots in the world. Chamanna is the quintessential example of how we create experiences that honor the traditional while offering guests a unique stay that will delight and surprise them.

ST MORITZ

The Paddock

The Paddock, a summer pop-up space that brought together our community over great food, arts, music, and laughter, encapsulates everything we love about the world of hospitality. We had the chance to collaborate with the commune of St Moritz, Manufactura Engiadina, and beloved local bar La Gondla to create an urban garden terrace by the lake. Guests were offered a variety of experiences throughout the summer so each visit was a new experience –

local artists showed their work, live DJ sets and musical acts were performed every weekend, football matches were broadcasted to enjoy as a community. Partnering with local restauranters allowed us to offer excellent food and drinks to visitors while also supporting our beloved local businesses.

ZURICH

Chambre Séparée

Wanting to always be at the forefront of new innovations in hospitality, we were given the opportunity to be part of Switzerland’s first pop-up hotel. The Hotel Ambassador Zurich decided to hand over their space for a few months, turning each floor of the hotel into a restauranter’s little palace, where guests could book a room for a themed course dinner.

We continue to strive for new opportunities, especially for the summer seasons – so if you wish to get in touch please do so.
