The Audemars Piguet Hotel
Designed by Danish Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) — the same architecture team behind the world-famous waste incinerator with a functional ski-slope in Copenhagen — the luxury hotel is hidden away from the street. It is next to the spiral-shaped Musee Atelier Audemars Piguet, which, too, is Ingels’s creation.
The design of Hôtel des Horlogers reflects the topography of Vallée de Joux, of which Le Brassus is a part. The building appears almost invisible in the terrain due to its zigzagging, ramp-like architecture, which merges with its surroundings and the meadow it sits on. The interiors of the hotel are also inspired by nature. Stripped tree roots hang from the lobby ceiling and huge glass panels let guests get an uninterrupted view of the exceedingly beautiful landscape outside.
Soft pastel colors dominate the interiors, helping enhance the sleekness of the design and highlighting the luxury it offers. Light fittings are designed like truffles and white elephant ears.
The most important attraction of the Audemars Piguet Hotel is perhaps the three dining establishments it houses, and all of them are headed by three-Michelin-star French chef Emmanuel Renaut. Among these are the gourmet restaurant La Table des Horlogers and Bar des Horlogers, which serves signature cocktails and has an à la carte menu. The most significant of the three is Le Gogant, located downstairs from the lobby. The restaurant has large bay windows which allow diners to soak in the view outside while they relish some of the finest cuisines on offer.
This property has 50 rooms, including 12 suites, which are connected to restaurants, seminar room, lobby and spa by an internal walkway.
