Why It Matters

One of only 18 rooms, adults-only (16+), Relais & Châteaux member, 2 Michelin Keys (2025), and a 300m² indoor wellness area with a heated pool under a wooden vaulted ceiling and a fireplace. Chef Franck Reynaud runs the culinary program across multiple properties in the group. The outdoor Pool Club is limited-access and reserved for guests seeking quiet.

Three centuries of woodwork, 18 rooms, and a no-children policy. Aïda Hôtel & Spa is a 5-star adults-only boutique hotel in Crans-Montana at 1,500m altitude, where 300-year-old wainscotting meets contemporary furniture from top designers. The owners — Ch. & A. Bestenheider — gutted and rebuilt it with wood, stone, and recycled materials, keeping the bones but making everything inside feel sharp and intentional. Every room faces south with a balcony and unobstructed views of the Valais Alps.

Where You'll Stay

7 room types available

Absinthe Suite
Two-Bedroom Suite

Absinthe Suite

Two-room, 65m² suite on the first floor with a south-facing bedroom and a cosy living room. The balcony faces the Valais summits. One of the rooms is on the ground floor with a north orientation — same Classic Room-style space — paired with the upper south-facing bedroom. Sleeps up to 4. Two separate toilets.

Classic Room
Standard Room

Classic Room

Ground-floor room with a cocoon-like atmosphere thanks to warm wood floors and wall coverings. North-facing, so no mountain views — this is the one trade-off for the entry category. Ideal for 1 or 2 guests who plan to spend most of their time in the spa or on the slopes. Open shower, separate toilet.

Deluxe Room
Deluxe Room

Deluxe Room

First-floor, south-facing room with a private balcony overlooking the Valais summits. The step up from Classic brings you the mountain view and the balcony — worth it. Same warm wood aesthetic, but the panorama from the terrace is the real draw here.

Prestige Suite
Suite

Prestige Suite

65m² suite with a north-east bedroom and a separate south-east lounge. The split orientation means the bedroom gets morning light while the living room catches afternoon sun. Spectacular sunrises from the terrace, separate bathroom with bathtub and walk-in shower. Separate toilets. One of the most spacious single-bedroom options in the hotel.

Suite Junior
Junior Suite

Suite Junior

South-facing junior suite with a private balcony and mountain views. Steps up from the Deluxe with more space and a more suite-like configuration. Part of the same design language — natural wood, alpine warmth, French windows opening onto the terrace.

Suite Ouverte
Suite

Suite Ouverte

Open-plan suite with king bed, integrated living room, bathtub, and south-facing balcony. The open layout blurs the line between sleeping and living space — more of an open loft feel within the same alpine wood aesthetic.

Two-Bedroom Suite

Suite Partage

Two-bedroom configuration with separate living room, ideal for two couples or guests who want real separation between sleeping and living areas. Both bedrooms have king beds. South-facing balcony with mountain views. The biggest footprint in the hotel aside from the Absinthe Suite.
