Huus Gstaad
Alpine-chic resort with a lively après-ski lobby scene. Rustic warmth meets Scandi-influenced design. Young, jean-and-suspenders staff. Gets loud Thursday through Saturday with a resident DJ — not the spot for early sleepers those nights.
Book summer stays for the best value — most guided outdoor activities (rafting, canyoning, via ferrata) are bundled into the room rate
Why It Matters
Formerly the Steigenberger Sport Hotel, reimagined in 2016 into a design-forward mountain resort that makes the adventurous side of Gstaad accessible without the ultra-luxury price tag of its neighbors. Summer stays include complimentary guided activities — rafting, canyoning, via ferrata — plus free e-bikes and mountain bikes. Breakfast is always included.
HUUS Gstaad is a 4-star superior hotel sitting on a slope in Saanen, technically a few kilometers outside Gstaad proper (budget for a 70 CHF round-trip taxi if you want to browse the village boutiques at night). But here's the thing: the property itself is compelling enough that leaving feels optional. Award-winning design pairs traditional Swiss materials — stone, dark wood, plush textiles — with modern touches like Hästens beds, Samsung tablets, and globe pendant lamps. With 136 rooms, four dining venues, a proper spa, included summer adventures, and the largest conference facilities in the region, it punches well above its star rating.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
North Facing Double Room
Larger than the south-facing rooms at 28 m², and available as queen or twin configuration. North-facing aspect means slightly softer views but more floor space — a fair trade for families or guests who spend more time inside.
Queen or Twin · 28 sqmSouth Facing Double Room
The entry-level pick — compact at 20 m² but smartly designed with natural stone and dark wood. South-facing means you get the better mountain views, and the balcony earns its keep. A Hästens bed and Nespresso machine are standard; a window between the bedroom and shower lets you take in the Alpine panorama while getting ready (closes for privacy).
Queen · 20 sqmSouth Facing Single Room
Solo traveler option with south-facing mountain views. Same thoughtful design language as the doubles — Hästens bed, Nespresso, balcony — in a more compact footprint.
SingleSuite
At 64 m², the suites are a serious step up. Separate living area with plush sofas and blankets, private balcony with full Saanenland panorama, and the same natural stone and wood palette carried through with premium textiles. Good for families or anyone who wants room to spread out after a day on the mountain. One suite variant is noted to include a private pool with a view.
