Home · The House

An alpine hotel that chose modernism.

Behind a façade from 1901 stand pieces you would otherwise look for in a design museum.

Position

The other story.

Most mountain hotels tell the same story: pine panelling, antlers, checked fabric. Bellevue tells a different one.

Oak parquet, kilim rugs, elm and walnut. Among them, work by designers who shaped the twentieth century. Charlotte Perriand built the Alps herself, at Les Arcs. That her designs stand here is not coincidence — it is a position.

The house sits slightly above Adelboden, in a quiet garden of old, gnarled maple trees. It wants to stay small, and is great precisely because of it.

Material

Glass, terrazzo, granite, exposed concrete, spruce.

The materials repeat from the spa through to the rooms. None of it is decoration: terrazzo and granite stand up to moisture, spruce smells of the valley, exposed concrete lets the landscape go first.

What distinguishes the house is not the quantity, but the consistency.
