Hotel Olden
Traditional Swiss Alpine boutique with understated luxury and a long-running social scene — jet set regulars and Gstaad locals mixed together at the bar.
Ask for a main-building suite (not the Chalet) if you want to be closer to the promenade buzz and the restaurant action.
Why It Matters
Over 100 years of hospitality on Gstaad's promenade. The Pinte bar and La Cave nightclub are genuine Gstaad institutions — people come from outside the hotel just to eat and drink here. The wine cellar is seriously curated. The Chalet Marie annex, freshly renovated, adds three large new suites with private gardens and in-suite saunas.
Hotel Olden has been a meeting place on Gstaad's traffic-free promenade for over a century. It's a small, serious boutique hotel — just 8 suites split between the main building and the fully renovated Chalet Marie — where the service is personal enough that the GM knows your name by dinner. The rooms lean into chalet tradition without overdoing it: think rustic beams, checked curtains, and painted Alpine motifs, all kept in creamy neutral tones that feel calm rather than fussy.
