The inaugural W ski hotel has opened in Verbier, to the chagrin of hardened local off-pisters and the delight of global ski-loving W fans. In position A right at the base of the main gondola in town, it looks from the outside like a bunch of interconnected timber chalets, but inside it's more clubby than cosy. ... + more

Verbier has always attracted a crowd of adrenalin-driven, hardcore skiers who like to party.

Established in 1937, posh party town Verbier covers a sunny plateau slap bang in the middle of Switzerland’s 4 valleys – which just happens to be one of Europe’s biggest and best ski areas. The easy-on-the-eye architecture’s a pretty mix of wood and slate, but it’s what you’ll find within some of these walls that’ll blow your socks off… Blending in with dozens of classic chalets and ski hotels, this place has some of the most luxurious lodgings on the planet. Some hotels come with designer suites an...
Besides being famous for its off-piste routes, Verbier’s well groomed slopes are well known as some of the most challenging in the Alps. Although it mainly attracts intermediate, advanced and expert level skiers seeking adventurous off-piste and steeps experience, the 37 local pistes covering 100km provide for all abilities. The resort has three areas specifically for beginners, including the gentle slopes at Les Moulins, which has a children’s area and Les Esserts, with its 120m magic carpet. Those with a b...
Many say Verbier’s après is the main reason to visit – it’s certainly some of the best in the world and if you want to increase the odds of bumping into Prince Harry or Leonardo di Caprio on the dance floor, there’s no better place to party. From a good old pint in a lively pub (we love Nelson’s and Pub Mont Fort) to swanky cocktails with the socialites at Cordee de Alps, the nightlife is wonderfully varied. An absolute legend is the Farinet - with a huge sliding roof, a commanding position over the mai...

"W Hotel Verbier, Switzerland"

Susan Ward Davies, ELLE UK
5/ out of 5
W has brought its very own sense of style to the slopes. Fans of cool design will love the brand new W’s 130-room outpost in the snow. A master class in contemporary chalet cool, the W is set just off 412 kilometres of pistes, at the heart of the social après-ski scene. The gondolas are right outside the hotel, taking you up 3,330 metres in minutes. After a hard day on the slopes, indulge at one of the many bars and restaurants: Off Piste for an al fresco drink with a view, Arola for fine local cuisine by Chef Sergi and Carve for bubbles and hot tunes in very slinky, all black- and- chrome décor. For bubbles of a different kind there’s the beautiful indoor/outdoor WET® pool and the gorgeous AWAY® Spa. Bliss. (From: ELLE UK, "Five of the Best: Ski-in Ski-out Stays", 08/04/14)

The inaugural W ski hotel has opened in Verbier, to the chagrin of hardened local off-pisters and the delight of global ski-loving W fans. In position A right at the base of the main gondola in town, it looks from the outside like a bunch of interconnected timber chalets, but inside it's more clubby than cosy. The main bar has walls of crazy lithograph mountain topography, filament-bulb lamps and modular booth seating. Rooms are just as cool, with bathroom walls of red glass and hanging clusters of hand-blown Bocci glass spheres. Make sure you slope off to the spa, decked out in 50 shades of grey (literally); then sip Roederer rosé with the pretty people by the indoor-outdoor pool. At Arola, the Franco-Spanish meets Swiss Alps restaurant, we loved the Ibérico carpaccio and the oxtail ravioli with foie gras. The sexy goth-vamp art may feel a little odd with your bircher muesli, but it's wonderfully naughty at night. (From: Tatler Travel Guide 2015 > Best Skiing > W Verbier)

"It’s a bling thing in Verbier at the W Hotel"

…the very fact the resort has remodeled the piste to make the W Hotel ski in ski out, tells you that this place is something pretty special. Just metres from the main gondola at Médran, the hotel is part of a development including shops and restaurants built around the newly created Place Blanche. Everything about it is impressive. The rooms are spacious and modern, with huge comfy beds, a gas fire linking through to the equally huge bathroom, which houses a bath big enough for two and a separate shower room. And if I had to criticise, my room faced out on to a wooden fence below a road, hardly the mountain views you’d expect for £305 a night. But, there’s a lot of good things to say about the W Hotel. There are gorgeous views from the swing bubble chairs on the balcony and the vast windows in the lounge and cocktail bar. Perfect for a post ski aperitif, and the cocktail and tapas menus are to die for. If you’re in no hurry to hit the hotel bar then they’ve also opened a pop up bar at the bottom of the Place Blanche where you can enjoy an après ski aperitif to the sounds of the hotel’s resident DJ. Because nothing’s too much trouble at the W, the concierge service will relieve you of your skis so you can hit the town ski free for the night. They’ll even bring your snow boots along too if you ask nicely. (From: The Mirror “It’s a bling thing in Verbier at the W Hotel” 24/10/14)

Contemporary art is prominent—from installation pieces that reference Alpine sports to photographs by the acclaimed Dutch photographer Marcel van der Vlugt that reinterpret seven Swiss legends. Berlin-based street artist Buff Diss offered his take on the surroundings by applying lines of masking tape to the walls creating graphic peaks and valleys. The rooms, accented with hits of red and Swiss crosses combine stone floors and natural wood with shag carpets and shiny tinted glass. Biofuel fireplaces are built into the walls dividing bedrooms from baths, and sliding glass doors to expansive terraces maximize the scenic vistas. The nearly 2,000-square-foot E-Wow suite (about $11,200 per night), W Verbier’s top of the line, has plenty of space for entertaining with a spacious living area and a loft bar, plus a rotating bed and sauna. Sergi Arola, the two-Michelin star Spanish chef, gets into the groove, putting a modern spin on Swiss cuisine in Arola, the fine dining restaurant with panoramic views. Behind a dividing wall of shelves filled with colorful bottles of cooking oils and vinegars, Eat-Hola offers a casual alternative with an open-kitchen tapas bar, where you can sit side by side and watch the chefs in action. Ultimately, though, you come to Verbier to ski, and W Verbier makes it as convenient as possible with an ideal location across the street from the town’s main Medran station. Upon arrival you can head straight to the onsite ski center to get fitted for rental equipment and pick up your W ski pass, so you can skip the lines and head straight to the top of Mont Fort (3,329 meters) to explore Verbier’s 60-plus miles of pistes. At the end of the day, a newly diverted run brings you to Off Piste, the al fresco après–ski bar, where beats fill the air and cocktails flow in W style.

Verbier has always attracted a crowd of adrenalin-driven, hardcore skiers who like to party. The playful, urban edge of the new W slots into this scene perfectly, from the see-and-be-seen Living Room lounge, with its valley views and slick murals, to the leather-and-mirror Carve bar, a modern alternative to Verbier's famous but ageing Farm Club. And since it is right beside the resort's main Medran lift, guests can also practically ski into the hotel. The Amsterdam-based firm Architects Concrete (also responsible for the W London Leicester Square) has created a Manhattan vibe within a rustic, Alpine envelope by combining synthetic materials with wood, leather and stone finishes and lots of red. All 123 bedrooms, furnished with Eames classics, are big and have double-sided fireplaces separating bedrooms from bathrooms. Catalan chef Sergi Arola, whose Madrid restaurant has two Michelin stars, brings his pica pica style of dining to the Arola restaurant: sharing plates of porc Iberique presa with local ewe's cheese are served alongside the chef's signature dishes such as the cylindrical, deep-fried patatas bravas. There are ski-focused massage treatments at the AWAY Spa and a spectacular indoor-outdoor swimming pool. (From: Condé Nast Traveler "The Hot List 2014 - W Verbier, Switzerland")
