The 2026 Winter Games (February 6–22) represent a new era of Olympic luxury, one that prioritises heritage over high-rises and boutique charm over mass-market hotels.

From Swiss grand palaces to design havens in the French and Austrian Alps, here is our edit of the most exceptional hotel lobbies for socializing, working, and indulging.

The Sonnenhof, from the team behind the legendary Almhof Schneider, is a well-preserved house dating back to the 14th and 15th centuries, featuring typical ‘Walser’ architecture. It is located slightly above the Hinterwies lift station, on a spacious, traffic-free slope with views of snow-covered peaks in winter and hilly meadows in summer. Its name – which translates to ‘sunny inn’ – is not an empty promise. Based on a comprehensive historical analysis, the structure of the house has been meticulously restored over the past two years and adapted for its new use with great attention to detail.
