Exceptional on every level. From the moment you drive into the entrance at the Alpina you are transported into the most wonderful, relaxing and magical environment. Every little detail is taken care of and the staff go above and beyond to make your stay perfect. The Concierge are the best I have ever experienced - miracle workers! This is our third trip to this hotel. My only disappointment is that I cannot live here full time as it’s just the most perfect environment.

Outstanding
Spectacular property, like a bond lair. Incredible underground entrance, there's nothing else like this place. No expense spared in designing or building this new and immaculate property. Pricey drinks but room rate included 100CHF per person per night in the excellent restaurants so food was basically free.

Absolute Perfection in a Stunning Alpine Setting
This hotel is everything you'd expect in a fantastic, world-class hotel: the setting is stunning, set on a mountain overlooking the charming, pristine village of Gstaad; the staff bend over backward to be helpful and yet it's not fussy or overplayed service; the rooms are incredibly plush with small touches that impress, like Laderach chocolates. Then there's the outdoor pool, with the views to the Alps, and the spa, which is managed by Six Senses and is sublime. Downsides? You're a car-ride away from town but don't worry--they offer chauffeured Land Rovers to get you there on demand...free.
