The Alpina Gstaad
A small Alpine village, long a favored mountain destination in both winter and summer, welcomes its newest luxury hotel. Crowning 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 is the first luxury hotel to be built in Gstaad in 100 years. The Alpina Gstaad has three restaurants, a bar and lounge, a wine tasting room, a private cinema, a cigar room, a ballroom and several boardrooms. The 21,500-square-foot spa offers holistic treatments and rejuvenation programs and includes a hammam, a fitness center and an 82-foot lap pool. A large outdoor swimming is set in the gardens.
The Alpina Gstaad is the first completely new five-star hotel in Gstaad to open in this traditional Swiss village for more than a century - a stately address built in the local style with fresh and modern textures layered upon antique woods.
It is a place where authenticity meets Swiss luxury, commitment to the true Gstaad showing in every turn of the chisel, in the hewing of stone, wood carving and authentic leatherwork by local craftsmen. This sense of place includes spectacular mountain views from 56 rooms and suites - all with balconies - ranging from 333 square feet for a standard room to 4,305 square feet for the Panorama Suite.
Six Senses Spa at The Alpina Gstaad is a holistic spa destination informed by Asian wellness traditions, which are offered alongside locally inspired Swiss Alpine treatments.

Subscribing to the Six Senses Spa philosophy of ‘Balancing Senses’, the 2000sq m space has a natural feel with curved walls, water features, timbers and wells of sunshine, while the outdoor pool makes the most of Alpine location, the water reflecting the peaks beyond.
