The Mansard
Gstaad, Switzerland
Saanen
Vibe
A relaxed alpine retreat that trades grand-palace formality for wood-panelled warmth, crackling fires, and open-air rooftop views over Gstaad.
“Contemporary chalet retreat”
Warm Swiss larch woodwork, sloped ceilings, and vintage Naegeli mountain photography shape contemporary chalet interiors.
Sheltered balconies built for snow, Le Labo bath products, and a dedicated arrival refresh room provide tailored comfort.
The panoramic open-air rooftop bar and an intimate wood-panelled fireplace lounge create welcoming communal gathering spots.
At the start of Gstaad's pedestrian promenade, a short walk from the railway station.
“Miiro The Mansard opened in Gstaad as a contemporary alternative to the town's grand five-star palaces: relaxed but refined, built by Swiss craftsmen...”
Rooms
Swiss larch and parquet frame the bedrooms, most opening onto deep, sheltered balconies built for sitting outside during snowfall.
Wellness
A compact post-mountain recovery space offers a traditional Finnish sauna, hydrotherapy foot bath, and a dedicated room for massages and reflexology.
Eat & drink
Chef Tom Walter leads the ground-floor alpine brasserie, while Gstaad's only open-air rooftop bar pours cocktails against panoramic mountain peaks.
The neighborhood
The chalet sits right at the start of Gstaad's pedestrian promenade, steps from village boutiques and the central train station.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
