Chandolin Boutique Hotel Opens in Switzerland
July 20, 2017
But the French-speaking village in the heart of Switzerland’s Valais canton has charm enough to warm the heart of any visitor, thanks in part to the opening of
Chandolin Boutique Hotel
, a suitably stylish abode to sooth even the most aesthetically-minded of souls.
Amid the pines and larch trees of the Valaisian valley, the 25-room Chandolin Boutique Hotel is a holistic expression of archetypal Alpine luxury shot through with an environmentally conscious spirit. Designed by local architecture firm Kittel SA and housed in a typically Swiss grand chalet, the hotel’s architectural identity reflects the natural splendor of its surroundings, with a façade of linseed-oil-treated wooden slats, balustrades of larch wood and cedar, and
opus incertum
stonework. Sustainable technology such as thermal solar panels, dual-flow ventilation, and triple-glazing windows have been integrated into the building’s design, demonstrating that the hotel’s reverence of its locale goes beyond the aesthetic.
Inside, alternating natural stone floors and aged oak parquet flooring set the tone for an understated interior design that is also inspired by the hotel’s natural setting. Walls are embellished with monochromatic works of mountain sports photography, while furnishings range in texture from raw fabrics to natural leathers. Earthy color palettes in communal areas—with warmer beiges in rooms and suites—are complemented by fir wood detailing and unpolished stonework. Large windows ensure the Alpine-chic spaces are flooded with natural light in the day, while providing the perfect perch from which to take in the starry skies at night.
Situated in the Val d'Anniviers resort, Chandolin’s abundant powder, jaw-dropping views, and distinctly local flavor secures the region’s reputation as a unique skiing experience. Such sublime ski conditions naturally warrant an exceptional après-ski destination and Chandolin Boutique Hotel more than obliges. At the foot of the slopes, the property's
Sunset Chalet Bar
is an ideal spot for a post-piste raclette and the
Moonclub
lounge tempts merrymakers after dark with handcrafted cocktails in a convivial setting. The hotel’s
Le Restaurant
pays homage to the region’s natural bounty, serving local delicacies such as Val d’Hérens beef and freshly caught fish in a fireside setting. Oenophiles are well served at the
Wine Bar
, where a list of over 400 vintages has been curated by a world-class sommelier. With downtime in mind, Chandolin Boutique Hotel also plays host to the Wellness Altitude spa and the Salon des Étoiles, with complimentary hot drinks and impressive views of the surrounding mountains.
