THE ALPINE EDIT & mountain hopping

 

White Line Hotels – the collection of more than 40 indie hotels, has introduced the cool concept of Mountain Hopping through a selection of creative boltholes; The Alpine Edit – the insider guide to hotels, ski chalets, retreats and lodges from across Switzerland, France, Austria and Italy.

We don’t list many places, just those that capture the soul of the Alps for those aficionados who seek accommodation that echoes of the setting. Abstract wooden elements of the chalet marry with the contemporary, aged components relish designer furnishings whilst others are simply Alpine being a tapestry of naturalness.

Whether you are a ski junkie, a carver or a boarder, or someone who gravitates towards the slow lane, you can soak up the holistic of the snowy and sun decked Alps.

Hop through our edit of diversity, that the line smartly draws together – each very different, each very much like-minded.

Enough words have a gander through The Alpine Edit and get yourself off – just click on each place to book.

White Line Hotels Welcomes Villa Flor: THE HOUSE OF NOUVEAU

Picture 8

The arty enclave of Upper Engadin perfectly contrasts the rather glitzy bling of St.Moritz, here mature elegance and intellect has always played refuge to the creative scene, celebrated by artists and writers.

Where better then to build a house of patrician, celebrating a return and what better style than that of the ornate Art Nouveau to echo your shared worldliness and presence.

Restored with a passionate hand, today peacock turquoise, warm ochre and vivid reds cloak the stenciled walls with ornate flowing motifs, which dance across the airy rooms in syncopated rhythm. This is truly a snapshot of the playful Jugendstil with a very clever style intervention borrowed from the 50‘s- all balanced by the solidness of the warm parquet floors.

This is a very richly decorated, irresistibly comfy urban villa that whispers confidence, style and utter sophistication – this is Upper Engadin.
