The Alpina Gstaad

The Alpina Gstaad: inspired by authenticity, instilled with a modern sensibility. Rarely do new contenders take on those iconic Swiss hotels that have established an entire nation's reputation for discretion and chic mountain holidays. The Alpina Gstaad - opened in December 2012 in the Bernese Alps - seeks to respect this deep heritage while delivering a new level of distinction.

The hotel has been newly built in traditional Alpine style. The Alpina's commitment to the true Gstaad shows in every turn of the chisel, in the hewing of stone cut by hand by Swiss craftsmen, and in the planting of alpine herbs in the serene gardens surrounded by mountains. Inside, subtle modernity infuses the warm wood-paneled suites with intelligent design notes drawn from the lively Saanenland culture. It is this combination of Swiss provenance and thoughtful, relevant luxury - holistic spa treatments, sophisticated Japanese cuisine, and Havana-inspired cigar room - that gives The Alpina Gstaad its identity.
