You may think Gstaad in Switzerland is just for ski season – well think again. This chic Swiss village transforms in summer, offering sun-drenched alpine trails, wildflower meadows, glacial lakes, and a welcome dose of slow luxury without the crowds.

At the heart of it, Ultima Hotel Gstaad is an ultra-private boutique hotel where guests swap ski boots for e-bikes, fondue for foraged picnics, and après-ski for sunset yoga and terrace gin tastings.

Features include:

  • No crowds, no queues – just quiet trails and fresh mountain air
  • Peak wellness – think detox programs, private spa suites & al fresco dining
  • Exclusive access – curated hikes, heli-tours, and lake swims without the winter rush

With just 11 suites and 6 residences, Ultima Hotel Gstaad feels more like a private estate than a hotel. The small scale allows for hyper-personalized service, total privacy, and a serene environment – perfect for exclusivity.

Few properties in Gstaad offer luxury residences (2–4 bedrooms) with full kitchens and living spaces alongside full hotel services – ideal for longer stays, multigenerational travel, or guests wanting a “home away from home” without compromising on indulgence.

The hotel draws A-listers, athletes, and high-net-worth individuals thanks to its discretion, service, and style. It’s not ostentatious, but deeply luxurious – ideal for guests who want the best without the fanfare.
