Spotlight on the Luxury Ultima Collection
Bridging the gap between luxury hotels and real estate- find out more about the Ultima Collection.
Founded by Byron Baciocchi and Max-Hervé George, the Ultima Collection is a unique group of hotels, residences, villas, spas and private clinics with incredible design and bespoke services. Launching with Ultima Gstaad in December 2016, the collection has expanded year on year to include Megeve, Crans Montana and most recently Courchevel. The formula is clearly working and there are plans to add to the collection in Geneva and Corfu. So what is it that makes Ultima so special?
Ultima Gstaad
Think of a superyacht crossed with a luxury chalet and Ultima Gstaad comes to mind. With an abundance of marble, designer furs, silks and velvets, labels including Louis Vuitton and Hermes, not to mention a glass grand piano customised by artist Alec Monopoly (one of two in the world), the setting is striking, to say the least.
Just a 10-minute stroll from the promenade and 100 metres from the nearest ski lift, getting around couldn’t be easier, particularly with the hotel’s chauffeur service on hand. With only 11 suites and six residences, guests can enjoy exclusivity and privacy with the bonus of tailor-made services, a restaurant, three bars and a 1000m² spa and clinic.
It is the spa that is the real highlight here. Comprising of a large indoor pool, hot whirlpool tubs inside and out, a sauna, steam room and gym, all your wellness needs are taken care of. Masseurs are on hand for treatments whilst the Aesthetics Clinic offers state-of-the-art anti-ageing treatments, detoxes, DNA testing and more.
