5 QUESTIONS FOR OUR EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT MANAGER, IRMA ECKERMNANN

What was your dream job that you imagined as a child?

During my school years, I worked as a temp in a hotel again and again and really enjoyed the interaction with the guests. I found this very unique world extremely fascinating. This certainly led me to choose the hotel industry. Giving guests an unforgettable stay is a beautiful job.

What was the funniest event you experienced in the hotel?

The hotel business and the hospitality industry are shaped by people, so funny situations happen regularly. A guest recently arrived with 6 cats, which inevitably led to very funny and surreal situations.

Where do you get your balance from your work?

With my family. My two children are a wonderful distraction from my rather stressful professional life and give me a lot of love and strength.

What is your favourite place in Château Gütsch?

My favourite place and the most beautiful vantage point is on the terrace of the Rachmaninoff Suite. Especially as a guest, you can spend many quiet and undisturbed minutes there. The suite itself also has an ambience that invites you to relax.

Why should you visit Lucerne?

Lucerne is a picturesque place and offers many great views into the past and present. The Gütsch is certainly one of them.

Irma Eckermann

I finished high school in Germany. I then moved to Cologne for an apprenticeship as a businesswoman. For family reasons, I then moved to Lucerne in beautiful Switzerland. At the beginning it was a bit difficult because many things work differently than in Germany. Now I feel very comfortable and at home in Lucerne. I wouldn’t want to miss the city of Lucerne and the unique region. Even during my holidays, I miss the Gütsch after just a few days. It’s a great pleasure to spend my working day like this.
