WE LOVE

HUUS HOTEL
Comfort is at the heart of this Swiss mountain retreat, bedecked with dark tones and
rich textures for a wonderfully cosseting feel after a bracing day on the slopes

O
ering amazing views of
the Bernese Alps, Huus,
in the town of Gstaad,
embraces guests like old
friends. Its Swedish designers,
Stylt Trampoli, were briefed
to create interiors that feel
instantly warm and familiar, but
also indulgent and luxurious.
The rooms are wood panelled
and painted in dark tones that
counterbalance the brightness
of the snow outside, while the
lighting by rsj creates a cosy
ambience as daylight fades.
Added to this, contemporary
furniture by Gervasoni
introduces textures of velvet
and leather all in all, a perfect
haven in which to batten down
the hatches during winter.

NEED TO KNOW Located in the Bernese Oberland, the 135-room hotel, from 222 a night, is a
member of the Design Hotels group. There is a spa and a restaurant serving fresh, locally inspired dishes.
