We Love
- The privacy — just 11 suites and 6 residences across three linked timber chalets, set back from the road; closer to a private chalet with hotel service than a conventional hotel.
- The spa — an unusually serious wellness floor with a 15-metre pool, indoor and outdoor jacuzzis, sauna, steam and a longevity clinic, with treatments by Augustinus Bader and Seed to Skin Tuscany.
- The residences — up to the four-bedroom and Royal Residences, with their own staff and bronze fireplaces, for families and groups who want a private chalet within a hotel.
- The location — across from the Wispile cable car and a couple of minutes from the slopes, a short stroll from Gstaad's promenade of galleries, boutiques and restaurants.
- The service — the discreet, highly bespoke kind, from chauffeured transfers and private chefs to helicopter days, glacier picnics and tables at Gstaad's hardest-booked restaurants.
- The mixology bar serving fantastic cocktails.

Origins
Ultima Hotel Gstaad opened in 2017 as the flagship of the family-owned Ultima Collection, the group behind a small portfolio of ultra-private hotels, chalets and villas in the most sought-after corners of the Alps and the Mediterranean, from Courchevel and Crans-Montana to Cannes and Corfu. In Gstaad it took an unusual form: not a grand palace hotel of the kind the resort is known for, but three interlinked timber chalets, set back from the road, holding just 11 suites and 6 private residences between them.
That smallness is the whole proposition. Where Gstaad's famous hotels count their rooms in the hundreds, Ultima counts them in double figures, and the result feels less like a hotel than a private chalet that happens to come with a five-star team. Even the smallest suite is generously sized, with a marble bathroom and a balcony over the mountains; the residences run up to four bedrooms and the Royal Residence, each with its own staff and fireplace, for families and groups who want total privacy without lifting a finger.
The other surprise is how seriously it takes wellness. The Ultima Collection Spa is a proper destination in its own right — a 15-metre pool, indoor and outdoor jacuzzis, sauna and steam, four treatment rooms — with treatments from the science-led Augustinus Bader and Seed to Skin Tuscany, and a longevity clinic offering bespoke, doctor-led programmes. Add a summer restaurant built around Japanese-inspired fireside cooking, a 1920s-style bar, and the position across from the Wispile cable car, and Ultima makes a strong case as the most private luxury address in town.
Top Secret
The residences are the property's quiet trump card. Booked together with the suites, the whole hotel — all three chalets — can effectively be taken over by a single family or party, with private chefs, dedicated staff and the run of the spa, turning a Gstaad hotel stay into something closer to owning a chalet for the week. It is how Ultima is most often used at the very top end; ask about a full or partial buyout well ahead, particularly over the winter peak and the festive weeks, when Gstaad fills and the chalets go first.
The Review
Ultima Hotel Gstaad is the most private five-star address in a resort full of grand ones — and that is exactly the point of it. Rather than a palace hotel, it is three linked timber chalets holding just 11 suites and 6 residences, set discreetly back from the road in the centre of Gstaad. The effect is of a private chalet with a luxury hotel's service quietly attached: generously sized suites with marble bathrooms and mountain balconies, residences with their own staff, and a team that handles everything from chauffeured transfers to tables at the resort's hardest-booked restaurants.
The wellness is the other reason to come, and it is unusually serious for a hotel this size: a 15-metre pool, indoor and outdoor jacuzzis, sauna and steam, treatments by Augustinus Bader and Seed to Skin Tuscany, and a doctor-led longevity clinic — the sort of facility larger hotels would build a wing around. Dining is intimate rather than grand, with a summer Japanese-inspired fireside restaurant and a 1920s-style bar, and the option of a private chef in your suite or residence. The position is excellent: across from the Wispile cable car, minutes from the slopes, a short walk from the galleries and boutiques of the promenade.
It suits those who want privacy and space above all — families, groups and anyone who would rather have the discretion of a chalet than the bustle of a big hotel — and who value serious wellness as much as skiing. It is not cheap, and it is small, so it books up fast and runs by season; but for a discreet, residence-style stay at the very top of the Gstaad market, nothing else in town is quite like it. Note that the hotel operates seasonally and reopens for summer on 18 June 2026.
