Verbier — with a capital W
A hotel that’s refined yet bold, much like Verbier
Verbier attracts the most elegant and demanding clientele from around the world. Where do they stay when visiting the ski resort? The W Verbier, of course! The establishment was just voted Best Swiss Ski Hotel and World’s Best Ski Hotel during the 2022 World Ski Awards… for the seventh consecutive time- incredible!
The mountainside slalom route looks down over the Val de Bagnes, then comes to an end at the W Verbier’s front door. The perfect terminus. Your car keys have barely been handed to the valet and already you’re being immersed in a chic and relaxing getaway. A warm welcome and classic Swiss hospitality awaits, both discreet and yet ever-present.
On the eve of its 10th anniversary, the W has firmly established itself as one of the world’s best luxury and lifestyle hotels. And reservations here are never lacking! Ideally located at the foot of the cable cars, the W Verbier is proudly atypical, both inside and out. Between contemporary art and chalet-style solid wood, the hotel blends into its mountain backdrop and the Verbier décor, while also boasting such a light-filled interior that its design seems to exist on an entirely new and unexpected level. The many cosy and welcoming guest lounges invite visitors to both embrace relaxation and pique their curiosity, with an international art collection worthy of a mountain museum. A hint of quirky pop keeps the ambiance fresh and reminds us that, when done well, altitude certainly can rhyme with attitude.
After feeling the burn of a full day of skiing, the W Verbier offers the perfect apres-ski at the W Off Piste. House DJs keep the ambiance hot while creative cocktails tickle your tastebuds. Speaking of tastebuds, any refined guest will be delighted to know more about the hotel’s restaurants. Goodbye W Kitchen, hello Bô! This new gastronomic destination – which revolves around seasonal, high-quality produce – features the region’s very best with a sprinkling of international influences for a powerful sensory experience. In other changes, Carve has ceded its place to U-Yama, an epicurean invitation to explore the Land of the Rising Sun, where sushi is devoured in between two glassfuls of whiskey and Japanese sake, bathed in neon light. Meanwhile, the Eat-Hola Tapas Bar keeps it caliente by way of excellence, boasting grill plates and tapas by chef Sergi Arola.
Whether you spend two hours or two weeks here, it’s difficult to leave the W Verbier establishment without immediately wanting to go back. The very soul of Verbier permeates the hotel’s walls – a reflection of the spirit and quality that saw this prestigious ski station win the World’s Best Ski Resort for the second time in a row, and the award for Best Swiss Ski Resort for the fourth time in five years, during the 2022 World Ski Awards.
