The Alpina Gstaad

Located in Gstaad’s exclusive hilltop area of Oberbort, just five minutes from the center of the village, The Alpina Gstaad overlooks beautiful Saanenland in the heart of the Bernese Alps. It was the first luxury hotel to be built in Gstaad in 100 years. Set on five acres, the five-star property is part of a $337 million luxury development includes private apartments within the hotel and two chalets. The hotel is a contemporary interpretation of traditional Swiss architecture incorporating authentic local materials and time-honored Alpine style. Massive blocks of Ringgenberg limestone, the rich brown stone from local quarries, were hand-carved for the entrance and ground floor. Hundred-year-old fir wood, gathered from old Alpine farm houses, decorates the facade and lines the walls of the public rooms. The gabled roof, embellished with dormers and peaks, is made of natural slate. The ground floor’s huge windows allow for plenty of natural light and stunning views of the surrounding mountains.
