by Aoife Dowling | 23 Nov 2012

The Alpina Gstaad hotel and spa is set to launch in the Bernese Alps, Switzerland next month.

Located on a 20,000sq m (215,278sq ft) hill top area in Oberbort, the resort will feature 56 guestrooms and suites and 11 private apartments within the hotel. It will also house three private apartments within a chalet, and two private chalets.

Designed by Swiss architectual firm Jaggi & Partner AG, the hotel features a 2,000sq m (21,500sq ft) Six Senses Spa offering Asian wellness traditions alongside locally inspired Swiss Alpine treatments.

The spa features 12 treatment rooms, which comprise both single and couples' treatment areas including a flotation room, a hammam, a colonics room, an ayurveda room, a cave room and a salt room.

QMS Medicosmetics skincare and treatments will be used at the spa. There is also an indoor and outdoor pool, two spa pools, and a yoga studio and juice bar.

The spa's changing rooms feature ice showers with mini ice fountains, saunas with colour therapy technology, a steamroom, cold and hot plunge pools and a relaxation area with heated waterbeds.

Signature treatments include a 50-minute Body Polish & Cocoon, which aims to reveal the guest's natural glow, eliminate toxins from the body and improve circulation.

The resort's fitness centre offers fitness assessments, personal training and kinesis training as well as a range of classes including yoga, pilates, hot yoga and Tai Chi.

Dining options include Japanese restaurant MEGU, and Swiss Stubli, a contemporary Swiss restaurant.

A Havana-inspired cigar lounge, a wine room and a private cinema are also on offer to guests.

The Alpina Gstaad is owned and developed by Grand Hotel Alpina AG and privately managed.
