Luxury escorts in Zug

Zug is where a remarkable share of the world's trade quietly books its profits: commodity houses, holding companies and — lately — the Crypto Valley have made the little canton the densest concentration of corporate wealth in Europe, all of it wearing a small lakeside town of arcaded houses and a fishing harbour. The contrast is the place's character: billion-franc balance sheets upstairs, and downstairs an old town where the baker knows the order.

Our Zug engagements are overwhelmingly working ones — a dinner to close a day of meetings, a companion for a client evening, discretion assumed on all sides — and the town serves them well. The old town's restaurants punch far above the town's size, the lakeshore west of the harbour gives the sunset the region is genuinely famous for (the mountains stand back just far enough to let the sky finish), and Zurich is twenty-five minutes away when the evening wants a bigger room. Companions here speak English and German as their working languages, read a business dinner correctly, and treat names and affiliations as things never to be repeated.
