Luxury in the mountains
One of Europe's foremost ski resorts is set to become even more glamorous,
with the opening of W Hotel's first-ever ski retreat
opening in december 2013
, the first-ever
alpine and ski retreat from W Hotels will
bring the chain's cutting-edge lifestyle to
Verbier’s world-renowned ski slopes.
W Verbier Hotel & Residences is
the anchor of the new luxury Medran
development project surrounding the
Place Blanche. Perched in the Swiss
Alps, at an altitude of 1,500m, the hotel
is located less than 50m from the main
gondola, offering immediate access to
over 400km of ski and hiking terrain.
With direct ski-in and ski-out access,
W Verbier will feature 123 stylish
guest rooms including 15 W branded
residences, all of which come with
their own fireplace and offer panoramic
balcony vistas, creating an intimate
escape after an exhilarating day outside.
Drawing inspiration from the stunning
mountainscape and New York's energy,
the design offers a vibrant juxtaposition of
urban cool and cosy accents reminiscent of
traditional Swiss chalets, with the W DNA
serving as a consistent red thread.
Guests can kick off the day with a
coffee and a snack in the W Café, and later
enjoy a Swiss-inspired cocktail in the W
Living Room. Or step outside to the Place
Blanche for a glass of bubbly at the
Off-Piste bar and dance the night away
in Carve, a nightclub carved into the side
of the mountain.
Diners can experience a fusion of produce
from the Valais region and Spanish flair
at Eat-Hola and the hotel’s signature
restaurant, Arola by Sergi Arola, where
contemporary tapas are given a local twist
and delectable cocktails mark the Swiss
debut of the Michelin-starred Spanish chef.
