PARTNER CONTENT FOR THE ALPINA GSTAAD


The Alpina Gstaad SWITZERLAND


Located in Saanenland, in the heart of the Bernese Alps, The Alpina Gstaad is set within five acres of the exclusive hilltop area of Oberbort. Part of a CHF 300m (£250m) luxury development that includes private chalets and apartments, The Alpina Gstaad is a modern interpretation of traditional Swiss architecture, incorporating local materials and Alpine style. The luxury hotel has four restaurants:


Restaurant Sommet, a Michelin-starred restaurant serving contemporary cuisine; Megu, a Michelin-starred Japanese restaurant; Swiss Stübli, serving traditional national dishes; and the Alpina Lounge & Bar, serving international classics and crafty cocktails. There’s also a wine-tasting room, private cinema, cigar lounge, ballroom and boardrooms. The hotel has 56 spacious guest rooms and


suites, all with balconies. Then there’s the Six Senses Spa, inspired by Asian wellness traditions offered alongside Swiss Alpine treatments. The Alpina Private Art Collection features 64 pieces by some of the world’s leading


contemporary artists including Jacqueline Humphries, Pierre Huyghe, Wade Guyton and Nicole Eisenmann. At the hotel entrance is the Shadowman Van, a reimagined ice cream truck, created by street artist Richard Hambleton. A new sculpture from artist Thomas Schütte was installed this summer: Drittes Tier. This mythic creature’s bronze exterior is punctuated by bursts of steam ‘exhaled’ from its nostrils. In celebration of this latest addition to the hotel’s


expansive art collection, The Alpina Gstaad has launched two new cocktails, inspired by the steam exhaled by the creature. Served in a teapot, The Sayuri blends mango, yuzu juice and shiso leaves with vodka and ginger ale. The Hattori, meanwhile, features sake, apple juice and peach liqueur rose syrup in a shot glass. For the upcoming winter season, guests can


opt for a scenic train excursion to see Mirage Gstaad, a new outdoor site-specific sculpture by Doug Aiken, on view until January 2021, a private gallery-hopping tour of Gstaad and Saanenland or a curated tour of the hotel’s art collection.
