Don Carlos Resort & Spa te recomienda varios planes de lujo para relajar la mente

LOS  MEJORES PLANES DE LUJO EN MARBELLA PARA DISFRUTAR AL 100% DE LA PRIMAVERA  

Don Carlos Resort & Spa te recomienda varios planes de lujo para relajar la mente y

aprovechar al máximo este tiempo primaveral

Málaga, 18 de abril de 2023 – La primavera ya está aquí y tanto el cuerpo como la vida lo saben. Los rayitos de sol, un buen tapeo, un paseo largo, un vermut bajo las palmeras, se presentan como algunos de los planes más deseados para disfrutar de la estación más bonita del año. Pero ¿qué hacer si me apetece un plan de cuidarme y relajarme en la Costa del Sol?  No te preocupes, ningún lugar como Marbella para reencontrarse con uno mismo y descansar cómodamente. Don Carlos Resort & Spa te trae los mejores planes de lujo para exprimir hasta la última alegría de esta época primaveral. ¡Toma nota! 

1.     Gastronomía de alta cocina: ya sea a pie de playa, en el interior de un lujoso hotel o en medio de una calle ajetreada. Sí, lo importante es la compañía, pero no hay que olvidar la felicidad que reporta al paladar una buena degustación. Cocina de autor, oriental, italiana y, sobre todo, mediterránea. Para todos los gustos y sabores. ¿Qué tal una paletilla de chivo lechal? ¿Un tártar de crustáceos? Messina, Nintai y Boho Club no te defraudarán. ¡A comer!

2.     Un: digan lo que digan, no hay nada más placentero para el cuerpo y la mente que adentrarse en un paraíso de aguas relajantes y dejarse llevar por la relajación. Si eres de los que buscas confort, tranquilidad y relax, The Oasis Wellness & Spa, perteneciente a Don Carlos Resort & Spa, es tu lugar. Un idílico circuito de agua de 1.600 cuadrados, sauna, baños de vapor, templo de duchas y una cabina de aromas, donde estar en paz será tu única preocupación.

3.     Que la moda te acompañe: de sus zonas más allá del bueno tiempo y el paisaje que ofrece, Marbella es conocida también por su gran oferta de boutiques de moda de alta gama. Una tarde de compras por las calles de Puerto Banús se erige como un must para todos los amantes de la moda que deseen disfrutar comprando sus marcas favoritas en un entorno privilegiado como es Marbella. Gucci, Prada, Chanel, entre muchas otras firmas, te esperan con los brazos abiertos.

4.     ¡Pero qué swing!: sí, Marbella es un paraíso para el golf. En este sentido, cabe destacar que la Costa del Sol ya puede presumir de ser el enclave con mayor concentración de turismo de golf español en Europa al contar con 70 de los 473 campos de golf. Su buen clima y la vegetación que presenta son los principales causantes de ello. Así, Marbella, por su parte alberga 21 campos de golf, lo que la convierten en uno de los destinos favoritos para todos los amantes del golf.

Acerca de Hotel Don Carlos Resort & Spa

Hotel Don Carlos Resort está situado frente a la playa de Elviria (Marbella). Se trata de un hotel 5 estrellas que cuenta con todos los servicios necesarios para pasar unos días de playa viviendo experiencias únicas y disfrutando de servicios de máxima calidad.

Global Hotel Alliance launches the Green Collection

GLOBAL HOTEL ALLIANCE LAUNCHES GREEN COLLECTION TO HIGHLIGHT HOTELS TAKING ACTION TO PROTECT PEOPLE AND THE PLANET

● Green Collection features nearly 200 hotels from GHA DISCOVERY’s global portfolio
● It empowers GHA DISCOVERY’s 24 million members to make conscious and responsible travel choices
● Global Hotel Alliance to make a US$5 donation to charitable causes for every Green Collection hotel booking made via GHA DISCOVERY channels before 30th April 2023

Dubai, UAE, 23rd March 2023: UAE-based Global Hotel Alliance (GHA), the world’s largest alliance of independent hotel brands, has launched its Green Collection, bringing under one
umbrella nearly 200 hotels, resorts and palaces operated by GHA hotel brands that are demonstrating their commitment to protecting people and the planet. Every Green Collection property has attained at least one certification from a globally recognised environmental organisation, with EarthCheck, Green Growth 2050, Green Key and Green Globe among the 15 leading certification bodies represented, and each requiring hotels to meet the highest international standards for sustainability initiatives and performance, with regular thirdparty audits conducted to retain certification.

Achieving certification demonstrates a hotel’s long-term pledge to upholding these standards, with each Green Collection property being a pioneer of practices that preserve the natural environment and benefit local communities in the destinations where they operate.

More: luxury travel

“Across GHA’s 800 properties from 40 brands, located in 100 countries around the globe, there are some world-class examples of practices and initiatives with a positive environmental and social impact, and we are incredibly proud of these efforts, which we celebrate with the launch of Green Collection,” said GHA CEO Chris Hartley.

“It also helps travellers, including the 24 million members of our GHA DISCOVERY loyalty programme, to make more informed travel decisions based on their values and priorities, which today include hotel sustainability credentials and treading as lightly as possible in the destinations they visit.”

“By launching Green Collection, we are reiterating our alignment to the UN’s Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs), which guide the development of the hospitality industry for a more sustainable future,” Hartley added. With 69% of travellers actively seeking sustainable travel options in 2023, according to a recent World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) report, Green Collection meets this accelerating demand, empowering the 24 million members of the GHA DISCOVERY loyalty programme to make conscious and responsible travel choices. In 2022, members demonstrated their preference for Green Collection hotels, which contributed to 32% in stays, 39% in nights, 47% in room revenue and 49% in total revenue.

Green Collection accounts for almost one-quarter (24%) of the GHA DISCOVERY portfolio and represents half of its brands, from mid-scale to high-end, including Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas, Avani Hotels & Resorts, Capella Hotels & Resorts, Corinthia Hotels, Elewana Collection, GLO Hotels, JA Resorts & Hotels, Kempinski Hotels, Marco Polo Hotels, NH Hotels, NH Collection, nhow, Niccolo Hotels, Oaks Hotels Resorts & Suites, Pan Pacific Hotels & Resorts, Patina Hotels & Resorts, PARKROYAL COLLECTION, PARKROYAL, Sukhothai Hotels & Resorts, Outrigger Resorts & Hotels and The Set Collection. From city hotels to beach resorts, the collection is geographically diverse and is present in 44 countries and 112 destinations, spanning every region. In the Middle East and North Africa, Green Collection properties account for half of the GHA DISCOVERY’s portfolio, while in Africa and Asia, it account for 37% and 36%, respectively.

Countries with the highest density of Green Collection hotels are the Netherlands with 31 properties (97% of GHA hotels in that country); Thailand with 16 hotels (52%); the UAE with 15 hotels (52%); China with 13 hotels (31%); Kenya with 10 hotels (77%); and Belgium and Argentina with 7 hotels (54% and 50%, respectively). Many GHA brands have achieved certification for every property in their portfolio or are well on their way to attaining this goal, with examples including Elewana Collection, GLO Hotels, JA Resorts & Hotels, Kempinski Hotels, Capella Hotels & Resorts and Outrigger Resorts.

Properties in the Green Collection are taking action in line with Global Sustainable Tourism Criteria (GSTC) guidelines, which encompass the implementation of effective sustainable planning; maximising social and economic benefits for local communities; enhancing the cultural heritage of destinations where they operate; and reducing negative environmental impact. To celebrate the launch of the Green Collection, GHA DISCOVERY is giving back to the causes important to members and its hotel brands. For every Green Collection hotel booking made on www.ghadiscovery.com or the GHA DISCOVERY mobile app before the end of April 2023 and completed by 31st July 2023, GHA will donate US$5 to the charities it supports as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility Programme, which includes Environmental Protection, Healthcare & Wellbeing, Children & Youth Programmes, and Animal Welfare.

“Social awareness and environmental sustainability are core values that GHA has embraced since its inception. Our overarching philosophy is to treat people and the planet with the utmost respect, creating a more resilient, equal, and sustainable global ecosystem, and the efforts of our Green Collection properties are a testament to this,” said Hartley.

“We are committed to ensuring GHA remains a favourite global brand in hospitality, not only trusted for the high-quality products and services we offer to our hotel brands and GHA DISCOVERY members, but the responsible approach we take to delivering them. The launch of Green Collection and our donation contribution are the first of many philanthropic elements we have planned in 2023, aligned to what customers and stakeholders now value most”, he concluded.

Examples of Green Collection Hotels’ sustainability efforts:

PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, Singapore is the country’s first ‘garden-in-a-hotel’, home to 2,400 trees, shrubs and groundcovers, which serve as natural air purifiers. Featuring 210
solar panels, an urban farm that supplies its spa and restaurants, an in-room filtered water system, and a double-glazed glass roof, the waste and energy reduction gains are significant. Some 51,300 metric tonnes of CO2 emissions were prevented by rejuvenating instead of rebuilding the hotel, so it received a BCA Green Mark Gold certification upon opening in 2020.

Every property in the Avani Hotels & Resorts portfolio must hold an independently audited Green Growth 2050 certification. As part of the brand’s effort to become a Net Zero Carbon organisation by 2050, it is introducing science-based targets for energy, carbon and water intensity, as well as pledging to cut organic waste to landfills in half in the next eight years. Avani has pledged to reduce the usage of single-use plastic by 75% by 2024, and every nature-based property will support long-term habitat or species conservation by 2023. Avani Palm View Dubai

Hotel & Suites and Avani Ibn Battuta Dubai Hotel have both been awarded the prestigious Green Growth 2050 certification for their sustainability practices, with Avani Palm View Dubai receiving Green Growth’s Platinum certification in recognition of its water and energy conservation programmes; aluminium-can, glass and cooking oil recycling; tree planting; and green public transport awareness campaign.

More than 36 Anantara properties globally have been awarded Green Growth 2050 certification based on GSTC-recognised hotel industry standards. Awards received by Anantara recognise excellence in human rights, child protection, employee protection, community development, environmental stewardship, and tourism ethics and sustainability. A few examples include Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort preserving the coral reefs protecting its beaches, and the marine life in the island’s lagoon, by initiating the Coral Adoption Programme, encouraging guests to take part by planting coral in a reef nursery, while The Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort in Chiang Rai, Thailand, supports the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation, providing a home for elephants, mahouts and their families.

Kempinski Hotels aims to measure 100% of energy emissions across all properties by the end of this year and has set out to fully implement science-based targets for emissions reductions aligned with the Paris Agreement by the end of next year. The luxury hospitality firm is rolling out the EarthCheck Certified programme across its portfolio, with participating hotels actively monitoring and reporting the environmental and social impacts from their operations, including energy and water consumption, carbon footprint, waste generation, community engagement and more. Economic concerns addressed by EarthCheck include employment conditions, support for the local economy, use of fair-trade goods and services, and recognition of the seasonality of revenue streams. GHA’s Green Collection features 14 Kempinski hotels that are EarthCheck certified in the Middle East, Africa, Europe and Asia.

Outrigger Hotels & Resorts was the first hospitality company in the state of Hawai‘i to commit to earning the prestigious Green Seal sustainability certification for its hotels and resorts, as well as the first hospitality brand to pursue the certification outside of the United States. Green Seal is the gold standard of global health and environmental leadership, and Outrigger has implemented science-based standards at properties including Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort, Outrigger Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel, Castaway Island, Fiji and Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort. Marco Polo Hongkong Hotel has been recognised as a sustainability leader with EarthCheck Gold Certified status, meeting performance targets regarding greenhouse gas emissions, energy
efficiency, social and cultural engagement, waste management and more. Recent initiatives include the restaurant serving sustainable dishes.

JA Resorts & Hotels is a leading pioneer on sustainable initiatives in the GCC region’s hospitality arena. Green practices include saving more than five million pieces of single-use plastic through
on-property water bottling plants, composting food waste into soil residue which is then used in bio-farms across the Emirates, amongst other sustainability measures.

EL NUEVO HÔTEL DES HORLOGERS ABRE SUS PUERTAS EN EL VALLE DEL JOUX

EL NUEVO HÔTEL DES HORLOGERS ABRE SUS PUERTAS EN EL VALLE DEL JOUX

Inspirado en el Vallée de Joux, el nuevo Hôtel des Horlogers abre sus puertas en el pueblo de Le Brassus, donde su predecesor, el Hôtel de France, se instaló en 1857. Este hotel ha sido diseñado por BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group y realizado por el El estudio de arquitectura suizo CCHE, dos socios que también firmaron el Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet situado a pocos pasos. La arquitectura vanguardista del edificio sigue la topografía del Vallée de Joux gracias a losas en zigzag que descienden gradualmente hacia los prados. Certificado Minergie-ECO®, el hotel boutique superior de 4 estrellas ha implementado un enfoque holístico sostenible

desde el desarrollo del edificio hasta sus operaciones diarias para reducir su impacto ambiental. Además, el diseño interior del hotel ha sido imaginado por AUM como un tributo al paisaje circundante, mientras que los restaurantes confiados al chef Emmanuel Renaut, galardonado con una estrella Michelin, se basan en ingredientes de temporada y de origen local. Concebido como un punto de encuentro para los amantes de la relojería, la arquitectura y la naturaleza locales e internacionales, este lugar acogedor fomenta el desarrollo del turismo en el Vallée de Joux y promueve la experiencia y el patrimonio local.

El interiorismo imaginado por AUM rinde homenaje al Vallée de Joux con materiales locales como

UNA NUEVA ARQUITECTURA

CONCEPTO FIRMADO POR GRANDE

Imaginado por la firma de arquitectura global BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group, el Hôtel des Horlogers se integra a la perfección con el paisaje circundante. Gracias a un concepto vanguardista y transparente, los visitantes se sumergen inmediatamente en el entorno natural del Vallée de Joux, una de las cunas de los relojes complicados suizos. Enamorado del bosque de Risoud, que bordea el valle, Bjarke Ingels concibió el hotel para que todas las habitaciones ofrecieran una vista impresionante de la región. Apartándose de los códigos habituales de la arquitectura hotelera, el edificio consta de losas que descienden hacia el valle y se inclinan ligeramente para abrazar la topografía y crear un camino continuo en la naturaleza. El concepto de BIG interpreta el sitio como una serie de cadenas montañosas que bajan por la colina,

En el interior, las líneas simples y el lenguaje refinado del vestíbulo contemporáneo contrastan con los elementos arquitectónicos más sinuosos y rústicos que los visitantes pueden admirar a medida que avanzan por el interior del edificio. Un pasillo interior sigue la atípica estructura en zigzag del hotel y conecta las 50 habitaciones, que varían en tipo desde la habitación Valley Guest Room hasta la Signature Suite. El hotel también incluye dos restaurantes y un bar abiertos a todos, un centro de bienestar y dos salas de seminarios. Imaginado como un punto de encuentro para los habitantes locales, los turistas en busca de espacios verdes preservados, los entusiastas de la relojería y la arquitectura, así como las marcas locales de relojería, el Hôtel des Horlogers invita a los visitantes a tomarse su tiempo y conectarse con la naturaleza.

Esta hazaña arquitectónica sigue los pasos de la espiral de vidrio del Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet , también diseñada por BIG. Ubicado a unos pasos del hotel, este pabellón ultracontemporáneo fue inaugurado en 2020 y recibió 9 premios, incluido el Premio a la Mejor Arquitectura del Instituto Americano de Arquitectos (AIA) el 12 de enero de 2021.

Un pasillo interior sigue la estructura zigzagueante del edificio diseñado por BIG y conecta las 50 habitaciones.

El entretejido de las 50 habitaciones con superficies de abeto local, grandes ventanales

INSPIRADOS EN EL PAISAJE

DEL VALLE DEL JOUX

Para construir y acondicionar la superficie de 8.715 metros cuadrados del hotel, BIG trabajó en colaboración con CCHE, el arquitecto local designado y el planificador general que también participó en la construcción del Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet, así como con AUM, el arquitecto de diseño de interiores. Realizado con materiales locales como la piedra y la madera, el diseño interior sumerge a los visitantes en el entorno natural del Vallée de Joux, al tiempo que combina calidad, comodidad y convivencia.

El techo del vestíbulo cuenta con imponentes árboles blancos que dan la impresión de que el bosque se refleja en el Lac de Joux. La decoración de las habitaciones es por su parte acogedora y refinada, entrelazando superficies de abeto local, grandes ventanales y hormigón liso para darle un toque contemporáneo.

El techo del vestíbulo está decorado con árboles blancos, un guiño al Bosque Risoud local.

RESTAURANTES ENCOMENDADOS

A EMANUEL RENAUT

Dando un lugar privilegiado a la gastronomía, el Hôtel des Horlogers ha confiado sus tres establecimientos de restauración al chef francés Emmanuel Renaut, galardonado con tres estrellas Michelin.

En primer lugar, el Bar des Horlogers rinde homenaje a los habitantes del Vallée de Joux. Su pequeño menú local a la carta y sus cócteles de autor elaborados con plantas del Bosque de Risoud se pueden disfrutar durante toda la semana en un ambiente relajado.

Le Gogant*, que acoge hasta 80 personas, presenta una amplia carta refinada a precios asequibles, servida

durante toda la semana, en el almuerzo y la cena. Los grandes ventanales del restaurante se abren tanto a los prados como a la cocina para una experiencia gastronómica única en una decoración inspirada en el Vallée de Joux. Está abierto a todos, los 365 días del año.

Por último, detrás de Le Gogant, un espacio íntimo alberga La Table des Horlogers. Este restaurante gourmet puede reunir hasta 12 invitados alrededor de una sola mesa diseñada para brindar una experiencia agradable. Todos los días se sirve un menú degustación para una exploración única de los sentidos.

Firmado por el chef Emmanuel Renaut, galardonado con una estrella Michelin, el restaurante Le Gogant presenta una cocina local refinada en una decoración agradable inspirada en el Vallée de Joux.

* En el dialecto local, el término ‘Gogant’ se refiere a un abeto blanco, a menudo aislado, cuya gran base sirve de refugio a los animales.

El Bar des Horlogers da la bienvenida a los visitantes y habitantes locales en un ambiente relajante donde pueden disfrutar de platos y bebidas regionales.

UN LUGAR EN SINCRONIZACIÓN

CON SU ENTORNO

La arquitectura zigzagueante del Hôtel des Horlogers que desciende hacia los prados circundantes se integra a la perfección en el paisaje bucólico del Vallée de Joux. El compromiso sostenible del hotel se refleja en la cuidada selección de materiales ecológicos, en

la estricta protección del suelo y en su bajo consumo energético. Este enfoque holístico y respetuoso con el medio ambiente ha permitido al Hôtel des Horlogers obtener la certificación Minergie-ECO® basada en su eficiencia energética y ecología del edificio.

El Hôtel des Horlogers invita a los visitantes a tomarse su tiempo y conectarse con el entorno que lo rodea.

El agua caliente y el sistema de calefacción del hotel son suministrados por la red local remota de calefacción a base de madera Le Brassus Bois SA que ofrece una solución totalmente local y sostenible, mientras que 126 paneles fotovoltaicos proporcionan parte de la energía necesaria para el establecimiento. Además, el agua procedente de Le Brassus se embotella en el sitio para reducir drásticamente la energía gris vinculada al transporte, mientras que los desechos orgánicos se transforman en biomasa a través de un sistema Meiko Green Waste Solutions antes de convertirse en electricidad y calor.

Además, el hotel pretende ser libre de plásticos gracias a la implementación de numerosas alternativas al uso de este componente. Los artículos de un solo uso, por ejemplo, se empaquetan en contenedores biodegradables. Todos los cosméticos proporcionados en las habitaciones son totalmente trazables y se suministran en dosificadores ecológicos, lo que reduce el desperdicio en un 67 % y minimiza el impacto ambiental del hotel. El equipo del hotel también ha apostado por bolsas de arpillera, peines de madera, zapatillas totalmente biodegradables e incluso lápices que contienen semillas de tomillo en lugar de los bolígrafos habituales.

Por último, los dos aparcamientos del hotel, que cuentan con 24 plazas subterráneas y 50 exteriores, están equipados con 10 estaciones de carga para e-cars y 10 para e-bikes.

UNA PROXIMIDAD

ACERCARSE

El enfoque sostenible del Hôtel des Horlogers abarca asociaciones locales para reducir su huella de carbono, apoyar a las comunidades locales y participar en la economía de la región. Los huéspedes que disfruten de un momento de relax en el Spa se beneficiarán de productos 100 % suizos, desarrollados por la marca suiza Alpeor, elaborados con plantas y flores autóctonas del Vallée de Joux y de la vecina región del Valais.

Los productos locales, que representan el 70 % de los menús del hotel, serán especialmente premiados con una selección de vinos y licores regionales, así como cervezas suizas elaboradas localmente.

Además, el hotel cuenta con su propio huerto de frutas y verduras que cubre parte de la oferta de frutas, verduras y hierbas de los restaurantes. También se basa en productos frescos y otros ingredientes suministrados por productores locales.

Para las materias primas inevitablemente importadas, como el té y el café, el hotel apoya las producciones orgánicas en los países de origen. Luego, el café se tuesta en el Vallée de Joux y se entrega en cápsulas biodegradables.

EN EL CORAZON DE

EL SABER HACER HOROLÓGICO ANTIGUO DEL VALLÉE DE JOUX

Para promover el patrimonio y el saber hacer únicos que se desarrollaron en el Vallée de Joux, el Hôtel des Horlogers ofrece varios paquetes de relojería que combinan una noche en el hotel con una o varias visitas a prestigiosos lugares de referencia relojeros como el Espace Horloger, talleres privados, el la Manufactura de Jaeger-LeCoultre o el observatorio AstroVal. Entre estos paquetes, el Hôtel des Horlogers ofrece un número limitado de entradas para una de las visitas guiadas al Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet, que está conectado con el hotel por un recorrido didáctico de relojería. La visita guiada presentará a los visitantes el rico patrimonio cultural de Audemars Piguet a través de una exhibición de unos 300 relojes que abarcan más de 150 años de historia. Los amantes de la arquitectura también podrán admirar el interior del extraordinario pabellón de cristal diseñado por BIG.

Como parte de los paquetes de relojería del hotel, los visitantes pueden explorar el savoir-faire y el patrimonio cultural de Audemars Piguet en la encrucijada de la tradición y la modernidad, durante una visita guiada al Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet.

UN DESTINO HISTÓRICO DE ENCUENTROS LOCALES E INTERNACIONALES

El Hôtel des Horlogers se basa en la historia del Hôtel de France, que se estableció en Le Brassus en 1857 y recibió visitantes internacionales en el Vallée de Joux durante más de un siglo. El hotel se convirtió en una parada importante en el Chemin des Horlogers, la ruta de relojería que conectaba los talleres de Vallée de Joux con Ginebra, donde los minoristas vendían relojes. Fue reconstruido en 1984 antes de recibir numerosos visitantes hasta su cierre en el año 2000.

En 2003, Audemars Piguet adquirió y rehabilitó este hito histórico local, que abrió sus puertas a una nueva generación de visitantes en 2005 bajo el nombre de

el Hôtel des Horlogers. Luego, dispuesto a embarcarse en un proyecto más acorde con los valores de la marca y las normas ecológicas en evolución, Audemars Piguet cerró el hotel en 2016 para repensar mejor su concepción. La primera piedra del nuevo proyecto se colocó el 4 de junio de 2018 y unos meses después, fue galardonado con el premio Leisure Led Development Future Project Award en el World Architecture Festival.

Después de cuatro años de obras, el Hôtel des Horlogers ya está listo para seguir los pasos de sus predecesores y dar la bienvenida a sus nuevos visitantes al Vallée de Joux Situado en el mismo sitio que sus predecesores, el nuevo Hôtel des Horlogers perpetúa la larga historia que comenzó en 1857 con el Hôtel de France, una parada importante en el Chemin des Horlogers que une los talleres del Vallée de Joux con Ginebra.

THE NEW HÔTEL DES HORLOGERS OPENS ITS DOORS IN THE VALLÉE DE JOUX

THE NEW HÔTEL DES HORLOGERS OPENS ITS DOORS IN THE VALLÉE DE JOUX

Inspired by the Vallée de Joux, the new Hôtel des Horlogers opens its doors in the village of Le Brassus, where its predecessor, the Hôtel de France, settled in 1857. This hotel has been designed by BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group and realised by the Swiss architecture office CCHE, two partners who also signed the Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet situated a few steps away. The building’s avant-garde architecture follows the Vallée de Joux’s topography thanks to zigzagging slabs gradually descending towards the meadows. Certified Minergie-ECO®, the superior 4-star Boutique hotel has implemented a holistic sustainable approach

from the building development to its day-to-day operations to reduce its environmental impact. Furthermore, the hotel’s interior design has been imagined by AUM as a tribute to the surrounding landscape, while the restaurants entrusted to Michelin- starred Chef Emmanuel Renaut rely on seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. Intended as a meeting point for local and international watchmaking, architecture and nature lovers, this welcoming venue encourages the development of tourism in the Vallée de Joux and promotes local expertise and heritage.

A NEW ARCHITECTURAL

CONCEPT SIGNED BY BIG

Imagined by the global architecture firm BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group, the Hôtel des Horlogers seamlessly integrates with the surrounding landscape. Thanks to an avant-garde, transparent concept, visitors are immediately immersed in the natural environment of the Vallée de Joux, one of the cradles of Swiss complicated watches. Having fallen in love with the Risoud Forest, which borders the valley, Bjarke Ingels conceived the hotel so that all the rooms would offer a breath-taking view of the region. Departing from the usual codes of hotel architecture, the building consists of slabs descending towards the valley and tilting slightly to embrace the topography while creating a continuous path in nature. BIG’s concept interprets the site as a series of mountain ridges running down the hill, while the building blocks form a series of berms lined with varied trees and plants.

Inside, the simple lines and refined language of the contemporary lobby contrasts with the more sinuous and rustic architectural elements that visitors can admire as they progress inside the building. An interior passageway follows the hotel’s atypical zigzagging structure and connects the 50 rooms, varying in type from the Valley Guest Room to the Signature Suite. The hotel also encompasses two restaurants and a bar open to all, a wellness centre as well as two seminar rooms. Imagined as a meeting point for local inhabitants, tourists in search of preserved green spaces, watch and architecture enthusiasts as well as local watchmaking brands, the Hôtel des Horlogers invites visitors to take their time and connect with nature.

This feat of architecture follows in the footsteps of the Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet’s glass spiral also designed by BIG. Located a few steps away from the hotel, this ultra-contemporary pavilion was inaugurated in 2020 and awarded 9 prizes, including the Best Architecture Award by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) on January 12, 2021.

INSPIRED BY THE LANDSCAPE

OF THE VALLÉE DE JOUX

To build and arrange the hotel’s 8,715 square-metre surface, BIG worked in collaboration with CCHE, the appointed local architect and general planner which was also involved in the construction of the Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet, as well as AUM, the interior design architect. Made of local materials such as stone and wood, the interior design immerses visitors in the Vallée de Joux’s natural environment, while blending quality, comfort and conviviality.

The ceiling of the lobby boasts imposing white trees giving the impression that the forest reflects on the Lac de Joux. The rooms’ décor is for its part welcoming and refined, interweaving local spruce surfaces, large bay windows and smooth concrete for a contemporary touch.

The lobby’s ceiling is decorated with white trees – a nod to the local Risoud Forest

RESTAURANTS ENTRUSTED

TO EMMANUEL RENAUT

Giving pride of place to gastronomy, the Hôtel des Horlogers has entrusted its three eating establishments to the French three-Michelin-starred Chef, Emmanuel Renaut.

First, the Bar des Horlogers pays tribute to the Vallée de Joux’s inhabitants. Its small local à la carte menu and its signature cocktails made from plants from the Risoud Forest can be enjoyed throughout the week in a relaxing atmosphere.

Le Gogant*, which welcomes up to 80 people, presents a refined extensive menu with affordable prices, served

throughout the week, at lunch and dinner. The restaurant’s large bay windows open onto both the meadows and the kitchen for a unique dining experience in a décor inspired by the Vallée de Joux. It is open to all, 365 days a year.

Lastly, behind Le Gogant, an intimate space hosts La Table des Horlogers. This gourmet restaurant can gather up to 12 guests around a single table designed to provide a convivial experience. A tasting menu is served every day for a unique exploration of the senses

Signed by Michelin-starred Chef Emmanuel Renaut, Le Gogant restaurant presents a refined local cuisine in a convivial décor inspired by the Vallée de Joux.

* In the local dialect, the term ‘Gogant’ refers to an often isolated white fir tree, whose large base serves as shelter to animals.

The Bar des Horlogers welcomes visitors and local inhabitants in a relaxing atmosphere where they can enjoy regional dishes and beverages.

A PLACE IN SYNC

WITH ITS ENVIRONMENT

The Hôtel des Horlogers’ zigzagging architecture descending towards the surrounding meadows seamlessly integrates into the Vallée de Joux’s pastoral landscape. The hotel’s sustainable commitments can be seen in the careful selection of eco-friendly materials, in

the strict soil protection and in its low-energy consumption. This holistic eco-friendly approach has enabled the Hôtel des Horlogers to obtain the Minergie- ECO® certification based on its energy efficiency and building ecology.

The Hôtel des Horlogers invites visitors to take their time and connect with the surrounding environment.

The hotel’s hot water and heating system are supplied by the remote local wood-based heating network Le Brassus Bois SA which offers a fully local and sustainable solution, while 126 photovoltaic panels provide part of the energy needed for the establishment. Furthermore, water sourced in Le Brassus is bottled on site to drastically reduce grey energy linked to transportation, while organic waste is transformed into biomass via a Meiko Green Waste Solutions system before being converted into electricity and heat.

In addition, the hotel aims to be plastic free thanks to the implementation of numerous alternatives to the use of this component. Single-use items, for instance, are packaged in biodegradable containers. All cosmetics provided in the rooms are fully traceable and supplied in eco-friendly dispensers, thus reducing waste by 67 % and minimising the hotel’s environmental impact. The hotel team has also opted for hessian bags, wooden combs, fully biodegradable slippers and even pencils containing thyme seeds instead of the usual pens.

Lastly, the hotel’s two car parks, which feature 24 underground and 50 outdoor spaces, are equipped with 10 charging stations for e-cars and 10 for e-bikes.

A PROXIMITY

APPROACH

The Hôtel des Horlogers’ sustainable approach encompasses local partnerships so as to reduce its carbon footprint, support local communities and participate in the region’s economy. The guests enjoying a relaxing moment at the Spa will benefit from 100 % Swiss products, developed by the Swiss brand Alpeor, made with plants and flowers native to the Vallée de Joux and to the neighbouring Valais region.

Local produce, which represents 70 % of the hotel’s menus, will notably be honoured with a selection of regional wines and spirits, as well as locally brewed Swiss beers.

In addition, the hotel has its own fruit and vegetable garden which covers part of the restaurants’ fruit, vegetable and herb supply. It also relies on fresh produce and other ingredients supplied by local producers.

For raw materials that are inevitably imported, such as tea and coffee, the hotel supports organic productions in the countries of origin. The coffee is then roasted in the Vallée de Joux and provided in biodegradable capsules.

AT THE HEART OF

THE VALLÉE DE JOUX’S AGE-OLD HOROLOGICAL SAVOIR-FAIRE

To promote the unique heritage and know-how that developed in the Vallée de Joux, the Hôtel des Horlogers offers several watchmaking packages combining a night at the hotel with one or several visits of prestigious horological landmarks such as the Espace Horloger, private workshops, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Manufacture or the AstroVal observatory. Among these packages, the Hôtel des Horlogers provides a limited number of tickets for one of the guided tours of the Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet which is connected to the hotel by a didactic watchmaking path. The guided visit will introduce visitors to Audemars Piguet’s rich cultural heritage through a display of some 300 timepieces spanning over 150 years of history. Architecture lovers will also be able to admire the inside of the extraordinary glass pavilion designed by BIG.

As part of the hotel’s watchmaking packages, visitors can explore Audemars Piguet’s savoir-faire and cultural heritage at the crossroads of tradition and modernity, during a guided tour of the Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet.

A HISTORICAL DESTINATION OF LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL ENCOUNTERS

The Hôtel des Horlogers builds on the history of the Hôtel de France, which was established in Le Brassus in 1857 and welcomed international visitors to the Vallée de Joux for over a century. The hotel became an important stop on the Chemin des Horlogers – the watchmaking route that connected the Vallée de Joux workshops to Geneva, where timepieces were sold by retailers. It was rebuilt in 1984 before welcoming numerous visitors till its closure in the year 2000.

In 2003, Audemars Piguet purchased and refurbished this local historical landmark, which opened its doors to a new generation of visitors in 2005 under the name of

the Hôtel des Horlogers. Then, willing to embark on a project more in line with the brand’s values and evolving ecological norms, Audemars Piguet closed the hotel in 2016 to better rethink its conception. The first stone of the new project was laid on June 4, 2018 and a few months later, it was awarded the Leisure Led Development Future Project Award at the World Architecture Festival.

After four years of work, the Hôtel des Horlogers is now ready to follow in its predecessors’ footsteps and welcome its new visitors to the Vallée de Joux Located on the same site as its predecessors, the new Hôtel des Horlogers perpetuates the long history that began in 1857 with the Hôtel de France – an important stop on the Chemin des Horlogers linking the workshops of the Vallée de Joux to Geneva.

The building’s avant-garde architecture follows the Vallée de Joux’s topography thanks to zigzagging slabs gradually descending towards the meadows. Certified Minergie-ECO®, the superior 4-star Boutique hotel has implemented a holistic sustainable approach

from the building development to its day-to-day operations to reduce its environmental impact. Furthermore, the hotel’s interior design has been imagined by AUM as a tribute to the surrounding landscape, while the restaurants entrusted to Michelin- starred Chef Emmanuel Renaut rely on seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. Intended as a meeting point for local and international watchmaking, architecture and nature lovers, this welcoming venue encourages the development of tourism in the Vallée de Joux and promotes local expertise and heritage.

A NEW ARCHITECTURAL

CONCEPT SIGNED BY BIG

Imagined by the global architecture firm BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group, the Hôtel des Horlogers seamlessly integrates with the surrounding landscape. Thanks to an avant-garde, transparent concept, visitors are immediately immersed in the natural environment of the Vallée de Joux, one of the cradles of Swiss complicated watches. Having fallen in love with the Risoud Forest, which borders the valley, Bjarke Ingels conceived the hotel so that all the rooms would offer a breath-taking view of the region. Departing from the usual codes of hotel architecture, the building consists of slabs descending towards the valley and tilting slightly to embrace the topography while creating a continuous path in nature. BIG’s concept interprets the site as a series of mountain ridges running down the hill, while the building blocks form a series of berms lined with varied trees and plants.

Inside, the simple lines and refined language of the contemporary lobby contrasts with the more sinuous and rustic architectural elements that visitors can admire as they progress inside the building. An interior passageway follows the hotel’s atypical zigzagging structure and connects the 50 rooms, varying in type from the Valley Guest Room to the Signature Suite. The hotel also encompasses two restaurants and a bar open to all, a wellness centre as well as two seminar rooms. Imagined as a meeting point for local inhabitants, tourists in search of preserved green spaces, watch and architecture enthusiasts as well as local watchmaking brands, the Hôtel des Horlogers invites visitors to take their time and connect with nature.

This feat of architecture follows in the footsteps of the Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet’s glass spiral also designed by BIG. Located a few steps away from the hotel, this ultra-contemporary pavilion was inaugurated in 2020 and awarded 9 prizes, including the Best Architecture Award by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) on January 12, 2021.

INSPIRED BY THE LANDSCAPE

OF THE VALLÉE DE JOUX

To build and arrange the hotel’s 8,715 square-metre surface, BIG worked in collaboration with CCHE, the appointed local architect and general planner which was also involved in the construction of the Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet, as well as AUM, the interior design architect. Made of local materials such as stone and wood, the interior design immerses visitors in the Vallée de Joux’s natural environment, while blending quality, comfort and conviviality.

The ceiling of the lobby boasts imposing white trees giving the impression that the forest reflects on the Lac de Joux. The rooms’ décor is for its part welcoming and refined, interweaving local spruce surfaces, large bay windows and smooth concrete for a contemporary touch.

RESTAURANTS ENTRUSTED

TO EMMANUEL RENAUT

Giving pride of place to gastronomy, the Hôtel des Horlogers has entrusted its three eating establishments to the French three-Michelin-starred Chef, Emmanuel Renaut.

First, the Bar des Horlogers pays tribute to the Vallée de Joux’s inhabitants. Its small local à la carte menu and its signature cocktails made from plants from the Risoud Forest can be enjoyed throughout the week in a relaxing atmosphere.

Le Gogant*, which welcomes up to 80 people, presents a refined extensive menu with affordable prices, served

throughout the week, at lunch and dinner. The restaurant’s large bay windows open onto both the meadows and the kitchen for a unique dining experience in a décor inspired by the Vallée de Joux. It is open to all, 365 days a year.

Lastly, behind Le Gogant, an intimate space hosts La Table des Horlogers. This gourmet restaurant can gather up to 12 guests around a single table designed to provide a convivial experience. A tasting menu is served every day for a unique exploration of the senses

Signed by Michelin-starred Chef Emmanuel Renaut, Le Gogant restaurant presents a refined local cuisine in a convivial décor inspired by the Vallée de Joux.

* In the local dialect, the term ‘Gogant’ refers to an often isolated white fir tree, whose large base serves as shelter to animals.

The Bar des Horlogers welcomes visitors and local inhabitants in a relaxing atmosphere where they can enjoy regional dishes and beverages.

A PLACE IN SYNC

WITH ITS ENVIRONMENT

The Hôtel des Horlogers’ zigzagging architecture descending towards the surrounding meadows seamlessly integrates into the Vallée de Joux’s pastoral landscape. The hotel’s sustainable commitments can be seen in the careful selection of eco-friendly materials, in

the strict soil protection and in its low-energy consumption. This holistic eco-friendly approach has enabled the Hôtel des Horlogers to obtain the Minergie- ECO® certification based on its energy efficiency and building ecology.

The Hôtel des Horlogers invites visitors to take their time and connect with the surrounding environment.

The hotel’s hot water and heating system are supplied by the remote local wood-based heating network Le Brassus Bois SA which offers a fully local and sustainable solution, while 126 photovoltaic panels provide part of the energy needed for the establishment. Furthermore, water sourced in Le Brassus is bottled on site to drastically reduce grey energy linked to transportation, while organic waste is transformed into biomass via a Meiko Green Waste Solutions system before being converted into electricity and heat.

In addition, the hotel aims to be plastic free thanks to the implementation of numerous alternatives to the use of this component. Single-use items, for instance, are packaged in biodegradable containers. All cosmetics provided in the rooms are fully traceable and supplied in eco-friendly dispensers, thus reducing waste by 67 % and minimising the hotel’s environmental impact. The hotel team has also opted for hessian bags, wooden combs, fully biodegradable slippers and even pencils containing thyme seeds instead of the usual pens.

Lastly, the hotel’s two car parks, which feature 24 underground and 50 outdoor spaces, are equipped with 10 charging stations for e-cars and 10 for e-bikes.

A PROXIMITY

APPROACH

The Hôtel des Horlogers’ sustainable approach encompasses local partnerships so as to reduce its carbon footprint, support local communities and participate in the region’s economy. The guests enjoying a relaxing moment at the Spa will benefit from 100 % Swiss products, developed by the Swiss brand Alpeor, made with plants and flowers native to the Vallée de Joux and to the neighbouring Valais region.

Local produce, which represents 70 % of the hotel’s menus, will notably be honoured with a selection of regional wines and spirits, as well as locally brewed Swiss beers.

In addition, the hotel has its own fruit and vegetable garden which covers part of the restaurants’ fruit, vegetable and herb supply. It also relies on fresh produce and other ingredients supplied by local producers.

For raw materials that are inevitably imported, such as tea and coffee, the hotel supports organic productions in the countries of origin. The coffee is then roasted in the Vallée de Joux and provided in biodegradable capsules.

AT THE HEART OF

THE VALLÉE DE JOUX’S AGE-OLD HOROLOGICAL SAVOIR-FAIRE

To promote the unique heritage and know-how that developed in the Vallée de Joux, the Hôtel des Horlogers offers several watchmaking packages combining a night at the hotel with one or several visits of prestigious horological landmarks such as the Espace Horloger, private workshops, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Manufacture or the AstroVal observatory. Among these packages, the Hôtel des Horlogers provides a limited number of tickets for one of the guided tours of the Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet which is connected to the hotel by a didactic watchmaking path. The guided visit will introduce visitors to Audemars Piguet’s rich cultural heritage through a display of some 300 timepieces spanning over 150 years of history. Architecture lovers will also be able to admire the inside of the extraordinary glass pavilion designed by BIG.

As part of the hotel’s watchmaking packages, visitors can explore Audemars Piguet’s savoir-faire and cultural heritage at the crossroads of tradition and modernity, during a guided tour of the Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet.

A HISTORICAL DESTINATION OF LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL ENCOUNTERS

The Hôtel des Horlogers builds on the history of the Hôtel de France, which was established in Le Brassus in 1857 and welcomed international visitors to the Vallée de Joux for over a century. The hotel became an important stop on the Chemin des Horlogers – the watchmaking route that connected the Vallée de Joux workshops to Geneva, where timepieces were sold by retailers. It was rebuilt in 1984 before welcoming numerous visitors till its closure in the year 2000.

In 2003, Audemars Piguet purchased and refurbished this local historical landmark, which opened its doors to a new generation of visitors in 2005 under the name of

the Hôtel des Horlogers. Then, willing to embark on a project more in line with the brand’s values and evolving ecological norms, Audemars Piguet closed the hotel in 2016 to better rethink its conception. The first stone of the new project was laid on June 4, 2018 and a few months later, it was awarded the Leisure Led Development Future Project Award at the World Architecture Festival.

After four years of work, the Hôtel des Horlogers is now ready to follow in its predecessors’ footsteps and welcome its new visitors to the Vallée de Joux Located on the same site as its predecessors, the new Hôtel des Horlogers perpetuates the long history that began in 1857 with the Hôtel de France – an important stop on the Chemin des Horlogers linking the workshops of the Vallée de Joux to Geneva.
