Set on Gstaad’s historic promenade, the chalet blends grandeur, discretion, and tailored luxury.
Ultima Collection proudly announces the grand opening of Ultima Promenade Gstaad, an ultra-exclusive private chalet on the village’s historic promenade. Opening this December, the property stands as one of the most prestigious addresses in Gstaad, a landmark of Alpine elegance reimagined for a new era. Originally built by the late Prince Karim Aga Khan IV as a haven for family and friends, the chalet has been transformed by Ultima Collection into a sanctuary of refinement and sophistication.
Spread across four expansive floors, the chalet is designed for both intimacy and celebration. Eight sumptuous bedroom suites and a children’s dormitory are complemented by a grand living room with wrap-around balconies and a roaring open fire, while a dramatic dining room with soaring ceilings sets the stage for memorable gatherings. For moments of leisure, guests can retreat to a private cinema, cigar lounge, games room, or even a private disco, creating an atmosphere as vibrant as it is refined. Interiors are timeless, with subtle Alpine cues woven throughout, offering a serene retreat throughout the seasons. Adding a refined cultural dimension, the chalet also features rotating contemporary artworks curated through Ultima Collection’s collaboration with Geneva-based Artion Galleries. Each piece is hand-selected to reflect the aesthetic sensibilities and stories of its guests, creating a dialogue between art, emotion, and place.
At the heart of Ultima Promenade Gstaad lies a full floor dedicated to wellness and renewal. Facilities include a sauna, hammam, whirlpool, snow shower, cool pool, massage room, gym, and indoor swimming pool. Bespoke programmes are crafted by Ultima Collection’s expert team, from transformative personal training to signature spa rituals with Seed to Skin Tuscany and Augustinus Bader. Beyond the chalet, stays are enriched with curated journeys to Gstaad’s hidden corners and off-the-beaten-path experiences, ensuring every moment is both restorative and unforgettable.
As with all Ultima Collection properties, Ultima Collection Signature Services guarantee an effortless stay, mastering the art of anticipation and creating a world of relaxation and revelry without bounds. A dedicated house manager, private chef, massage therapist, butlers, and chauffeur ensure the highest standard of personalised hospitality. This winter also introduces a new culinary dimension, as Ultima Collection partners with Zuma to bring its celebrated izakaya-style dining to the Swiss Alps for the first time. With an exclusive pop-up at Ultima Hotel Gstaad, the partnership extends to Ultima Promenade Gstaad, where guests can savour Zuma’s modern Japanese cuisine through bespoke in-chalet dining, prepared by a dedicated Zuma private chef. Together, these experiences mark Zuma’s debut in Gstaad and add a vibrant gastronomic layer to Ultima Collection’s Alpine portfolio.
With its unrivalled location along Gstaad’s prestigious promenade, surrounded by legendary houses from Louis Vuitton to Hermès and the town’s most coveted addresses, Ultima Promenade Gstaad is perfectly placed to experience the spirit of the destination. Each winter, the village transforms into a stage of Alpine elegance, with pristine ski slopes and world-class cultural events including the «Sommets Musicaux de Gstaad« and Art Gstaad. Beyond the chalet, Gstaad remains a spectacle year-round, from polo tournaments and tennis championships in summer to classical concerts such as The Gstaad Menuhin Festival. Whether seeking exhilarating adventure or refined cultural discovery, Gstaad offers an irresistible invitation to embrace its magic, while this grand opening marks a new pinnacle of exclusivity on the promenade.
