YOUR HOME IS OUR CASTLE

What does a hotel room have to offer to combine a touch
of luxury and the comfort of a second home? This
question is posed every six months when Gstaad Palace’s
interior designer, Marina Nickels, starts creating and
rebuilding our rooms and suites over a short 12 week
period. This off-season a new Deluxe – One Bedroom
Suite will be born as a result of assembling a Junior Suite
Classic with a Double Small Room. As usual a homely
feeling had to be priority when the design process of the
first Suite including an exclusive wet bar started.
Choosing colours and defining the material is still the
easiest part of the actual creation. The hard work is
talking to suppliers and to meet the expectation of our
guests who have sometimes stayed in the same room for
ten or twenty years. This is why the Palace represents a
second home to many of our guests. In total four of these
new Suites are in the making and will be ready for the
first guests with the beginning of our winter season
18 December. To view more of our most recently
redesigned rooms, such as our three bedroom Penthouse
Suite have a look on www.palace.ch/rooms-suites.
