Picture a luxurious spa retreat nestled in the Swiss Alps, where cutting-edge medical technology meets five-star pampering – a perfect example of luxury brand reinvention. The clientele? Not the young jet-setters you might expect, but affluent retirees seeking the ultimate in health and indulgence.
