"An architecturally driven hotel in the Alpine village of Vals that complements Peter Zumthor’s famed Therme Vals, this property features 73 guest rooms designed by a roster of Pritzker laureates and modernist furniture by noted designers. Architectural highlights include Zumthor’s plaster techniques, Tadao Ando–inspired teahouse rooms, Kengo Kuma’s timber-clad rooftop suites and Thom Mayne’s dark wood-and-quartz chambers. Culinary offerings include multiple restaurants—one with two Michelin stars—serving locally foraged mushrooms and alpine produce, and guests enjoy access to Zumthor’s hot-bath complex, including exclusive night-bathing sessions several times a week." - Adam H.
