A swiss sanctuary
The cosy hotel Nira Alpina in Switzerland opens on 30th november 2011.
This winter a new attraction will open on Switzerland´s spectacular slopes – Nira Alpina, a glass-and-timber-built mountain sanctuary from award-wining hotelier MPS Puri and the only one in the Engadin Valley to offer guests a true ski in, ski out experience. Located just five kilometres from St. Moritz in the small hamlet of Surlej, the hotel offers spectacular views over Lake Silvaplana. Nestled into the mountainside, with a private, glassed-in covered walkway leading straight to the adjacent Corvatsch cable car, guests have a quick and easy access to the mountain peaks, allowing them to reach virgin powder snow before the crowds. Inside panoramic views illuminate a variety of intimate and cosy spaces that welcome guests to relax and unwind after a day exploring the pistes. Two restaurants treat diners to local Swiss favourites as well as international cuisine using fresh, local ingredients. Puri´s food and beverage expertise is evident throughout the hotel´s offerings at the two restaurants, from classic Engadin-style dishes at Stalla Veglia restaurant, to bread and pastries, baked fresh daily at the in-house Bakery. Several chill-out areas and a stylish bar, with cigar lounge, outdoor terrace for starlit dining and central open fireplace, offer stunning views of the surrounding valley. Rates for a double room begin from 455,- Swiss Francs, including VAT, spa access, Internet and buffet breakfast.
