Nira to open Swiss 'mountain sanctuary'
Nira Hotels and Resorts is to launch a new 70-bedroom glass-and-timber-built "mountain sanctuary' in the hamlet of Surlej, near Silvaplana, Switzerland, on 30 November.
Located 5km (3.1 miles) from the wintersports resort of St Moritz, Nira Alpina will provide guests with views overlooking Lake Silvaplana and offers a "ski in, ski out" experience.
Facilities will include the Nira Spa, which comprises five treatment rooms; an Aroma cabin; a steamroom and sauna; a Rasul bath; a whirlpool; and an underwater relaxation bed.
Clay wraps; sports and hot stone massages; exfoliation treatments; and manicures/pedicures will be among the services offered in the Nira Spa, which will use Spiezia Organics and Alpienne products.
A double treatment room with twin heated beds will be used mostly for massages, although deep sports massages will also be available throughout the ski season.
Elsewhere, Nira Alpina - a member of Design Hotels - will also offer a fitness suite; the Stars restaurant and rooftop bar; a bistro and a bakery; and the Stalla Veglia dining experience.
A spokesperson said: "Nestled into the mountainside, with a private, glassed-in covered walkway leading straight to the adjacent Corvatsch cable car, guests have quick and easy access to the mountain peaks.
"Inside, panoramic views illuminate a variety of intimate and cozy spaces that welcome guests to relax and unwind after a day exploring the pistes."
