A third-generation alpine hotel reworked around recovery rather than apres-ski.

The owners had a full house in winter and an empty one in summer. The wellness strategy was the commercial fix: reposition the hotel around recovery so that it works in both seasons.

The spa was rebuilt, the guestrooms re-specified for sleep, and a summer movement programme was given real facilities rather than a noticeboard.

Dwell delivered interiors, wellness design, procurement and fit-out over two closed seasons.

The sauna was moved to the best view in the building.

Scope

What Dwell delivered on this project.

Interior Design

Calm, tactile and highly considered interiors designed around the way people feel and live.

Wellness and Spa Design

Facilities designed around the sequence of an experience, not a list of rooms.

Procurement and FF&E

What is specified and what is installed should be the same thing.

Fit-Out and Execution

From the first idea to the final installed environment.
