The Brecon
HotelEurope, Switzerland
From $800
The Brecon is a 22-room hotel in Adelboden, a village in Switzerland’s Bernese Oberland, set inside the timber frame of a hotel first built in 1914. Founded by Welsh-born Grant Maunder, whose family has skied here for four decades, it was redesigned with the mood of the ’60s and ’70s in mind: Jean Gillon chairs, wool weaves from Wales, a library and art selected by Bisou Gallery. All meals and drinks are part of the stay, from breakfast and afternoon tea to dinner at the chef’s table and nightcaps in the lounge. A guest-only spa, with saunas and a heated outdoor pool facing the mountains, sits a two-minute walk from the ski lifts.
7132 Hotel & Therme
HotelEurope, Switzerland
From $850
7132 in Vals is inseparable from Peter Zumthor’s thermal baths, completed in 1996 using 60,000 slabs of local quartzite. Fed by the mineral-rich St. Peter spring, the baths are among the most influential spa buildings of the last few decades, turning bathing into an architectural experience of stone, water, shadow and silence. The hotel exists almost in orbit around them, making this one of those stays where the spa itself is the destination.
