Experimental Chalet, Verbier, Switzerland

IN A SENTENCE

OTT cocktails and 1970s glam rock the ski hotel stereotypes.

BEHIND THE CONCEPT

You may have experienced Experimental Group at one of its other stylish outposts. The company is behind several of Paris’ coolest cocktail bars and London’s Henrietta Hotel.

DESIGN HIGHLIGHT

The handiwork of Paris-based architect and interior designer Fabrizio Casiraghi, the interiors are bold, brave and frankly rather bonkers. Diverse styles mix in a joyful melting pot.

ON THE MENU

Celebrated chef Gregory Marchand puts a fresh and zany twist on classic Swiss Alpine cooking, livening up old faves like rösti and tartiflette. Rates include a lavish buffet breakfast.

TOP SPOT FOR A DRINK

The lobby bar is the hotel’s social hub, and a hotspot for après-ski soirées. At closing time, head downstairs to the Farm Club.
