Five of the Best Contemporary Hotels in the Alps
The Hotel Strato, Courchevel 1850
Tired of traditional trappings? These hotels take pole for fresh furnishings.
The Hotel Strato, Courchevel 1850
Having been open a year the Hotel le Strato is still light years ahead of many five star, Alpine hotels. Its cutting-edge design does not compromise comfort in anyway.
Guideline Price: Double standard rooms start at 2,765€ per person, per week, including half board. Based on double occupancy.
The Hotel Firefly, Zermatt
Zermatt has excelled in providing traditional, Swiss service and accommodation since the Monta Rosa first opened in 1839. More recently Zermatt hotels have become pioneers of innovative design thanks in no small part to Heinz Julen. The Omnia, Coeur des Alpes, Focus, Cervo, Matthiol and Post are just a few with many more being currently planned for the future. Made up of various configurations of private apartments with shared spa facilities, the Firefly just clinches the top spot for its modern answer to the age old apartment vs hotel question.
Guideline Price: Junior suites start at 2,135CHF per person, per week, including breakfast. Based on double occupancy.
The Hotel Avenue Lodge, Val d’Isère
This hotel was a favourite with our guest last year due to its luxurious and affordable rooms. The Hotel Avenue Lodge is more Soho than Savoyarde.
Guideline Price: Junior suites start at 2,135CHF per person, per week, including breakfast. Based on double occupancy.
The Carlton Hotel, St Moritz
A welcome new-comer in a resort saturated with traditional, five star hotels. The Carlton Hotel’s recent refurbishment is bound to be a hit with those who yearn to ski in modern luxury.
Guideline Price: Junior suites start at 3,850CHF per person, per week, including half board. Based on double occupancy.
The Sky Hotel, Aspen
The place to see and be seen. Enjoy drinks by the pool having earned them on the slopes earlier.
Prices available on request, packaged with flights and transfers.
