The Escape

Set over two floors, THE PENTHOUSE, is a true ski-in property, in fact, the unique design of the building means that it is literally set into the mountainside ensuring that returning skiers simply step inside off the slope. Alternatively the penthouse is accessed by a lift from the ground floor bringing you directly into the apartment and to the same point as if you ski into the property.

The entrance area introduces you to the apartment’s continuous theme of rustic charm juxtaposed with contemporary flair. The walls are clad in a visually-stunning and unique design of wooden bricks. To your left  is the ski and boot room where century-old re-purposed wood panelling and punchy art and furnishings make a statement. Beyond the boot room is a single staff bedroom with ensuite shower room.  A short passageway leads into the living area or enter the kitchen to the right of the entrance.

The well-equipped kitchen is bright and tastefully completed with dark marble counter-tops and engaging contemporary artworks which adorn one wall. It leads into the dining area and there is the option for these two rooms to be divided by a glass-panelled sliding door, increasing guests’ privacy. The dining table seats ten around a gorgeous solid wood table.

Enter the living room through one of two doorways leading off the dining room. This simply gorgeous room draws guests in with its large open-fire place and offers ample seating in a large L-shaped sofa or one of two elegant arm chairs. The daylight pours into this room through the many windows; affording spectacular mountain views, but curtains drawn at night transform it into a sumptuous and cosy room in which to enjoy a glass of champagne and relive the day’s adventures.

A cinema with a large screen and Apple technology completes the lower floor.

A staircase at the entrance area leads to the sleeping quarters upstairs as well as the Hamman and sauna. The Hamman is a bold design of emerald green mosaic  tiles and the sauna is greatly enhanced by the windows providing rejuvenating light and discrete views onto the pistes.

The penthouse’s four bedrooms are thoughtfully located at each corner of this floor each affording views that mean no guest is disadvantaged. They are accessed by a corridor which forms an open quadrangle that looks down to the living area below.  The first bedroom is a charming double bunk room with ensuite shower room, ideal for children. Next is the beautiful master bedroom which has a fixed king-sized bed and an ensuite  bath and shower room with a roll-top bath and a rain shower and double sinks. The bedroom is adorned with photographs and memorabilia from Mount Everest. The third bedroom has a fixed king-sized bed and  ensuite bathroom with Antartica being the chosen theme destination for this room. The fourth bedroom is a fixed twin room with ensuite bathroom and windows looking down to the ski hill. All rooms have built-in cupboards.

Guests at THE PENTHOUSE are offered free utilisation of all facilities at the Hospiz Hotel, which include a full spa and swimming pool as well as childcare.
