Gstaad
Art-forward alpine luxury — think bronze fireplaces, marble bathrooms, and futuristic furniture set against reclaimed timber. Intimate and private, not showy.
Request a south-facing suite for the best Alpine views and afternoon sun on your terrace.
Why It Matters
Michelin One Key hotel (2024), Best Luxury Alpine Hotel & Spa in Switzerland (World Luxury Hotel Awards 2023), and home to Zuma's first-ever Swiss pop-up restaurant. The Wispile ski lift is literally steps from the front door.
Three interlinked antique timber chalets about 100 metres from the Wispile cable car, housing 11 suites and six private residences. This is a deliberately small hotel — boutique in the truest sense — where Michelin-star-trained chefs, dedicated butlers, and a curated art collection share space with an 800 sqm spa. Contemporary design meets Swiss chalet warmth without veering into kitsch.
