In the heart of Gstaad, The Mansard gives the classic chalet a clean carve. Local timber and stone are still here, but reworked and refined, with balconies peering over snow-dusted gables and — uniquely for this pretty village — a rooftop bar for cocktails at (slightly higher) altitude. Downstairs, a modern Swiss restaurant and fire-warmed bar keep things sociable after active days on the slopes.

Our favourite rooms

Rooms share a consistent, mod-chalet style throughout, with warm woods, clean lines and — more often than not — private balconies opening onto peak-perfect views. For a little extra indulgence, opt for a Junior Suite, which is kitted out with deep soaking tubs to make post-mountain relaxation all the more appealing.

Spa

It’s not a spa as such, but the compact wellness area with its traditional sauna is ideal for unwinding after a day on the slopes or trails.

Packing tips

A tailored coat will take you just as far as a technical ski jacket, especially once you’re off the slopes. And leave some room in your suitcase — Gstaad’s boutiques are hard to resist.

Grab a Gstaad Card during your stay for discounted transport and access to local facilities, such as the nearby Sportzentrum for workouts and tennis courts.

Food and Drink

Top Table

Nab a spot by the windows for that soft, snowy light; for atmosphere, the bar stools put you right in the middle of it all.

Dress Code

Leave the ski gear upstairs — elevated mountainwear and cosy knits win here.

Hotel restaurant

At The Mansard Restaurant, Swiss classics get a subtle refresh in a wood-wrapped, fire-lit space. Expect familiar Alpine ingredients — cheese, beef, vegetables — reworked with a lighter, more polished touch: gnocchi with spinach pesto, truffled chestnut soup, or a generous tomahawk to share. Local sourcing and a sense of seasonality runs throughout the regularly shifting menu.

Hotel bar

At The Mansard, you can take your drinks two ways: fireside in the bar and lounge that sits alongside the restaurant, with something stirred and spirit-forward (a Negroni or one of the slow-sipping signatures built around Alpine botanicals), or sky-high on Gstaad’s only open-air rooftop. Up there, fizz, spritzes and smashburgers make their way round to tables in the sunshine to an upbeat soundtrack.

Breakfast is from 7.30am to 10.30am, lunch from noon to 2.30pm, and dinner from 6.30pm to 9.30pm.

Room service

A selection of dishes from the restaurant menu can be ordered to your room during kitchen hours.

Address

Untergstaadstrasse 26
Gstaad

Switzerland

Right in the heart of Gstaad, The Mansard is moments away from the pedestrianised Promenade and its glitzy boutiques.

Planes

The nearest international airports are Geneva and Zurich, each over two hours away by car. From all three, transfers to Gstaad can be arranged with a private driver at an additional cost.

Trains

Gstaad train station is under a minute’s walk from the hotel, with regular services from Geneva (around two-and-a-half hours) and Zurich (under three hours), factoring in two changes for both.

Automobiles

You won’t need a car for getting around Gstaad’s compact, walkable centre, but if you plan to stretch more than your legs, the hotel offers private parking for CHF22 per night.

Other

Helicopters and private flights can land at Saanen Aerodrome, which is under 10 minutes’ drive from the hotel.

Worth getting out of bed for

Whatever the season, Gstaad makes the outdoors feel irresistible. Winter brings fast runs and far-reaching views, but also quieter moments on and off the ski slopes — hiking trails around Eggli, frozen lakes at Lauenen, and crisp, clear days up at Glacier 3000, where the Peak Walk links two summits in suitably dramatic fashion. In summer, it’s all about gentle immersion: an easy circuit around Arnensee, swims in Lauenensee, or a scenic climb from Schönried rewarded with fondue served mid-hike. Even golf gets a lift here, with the Gstaad-Saanenland 18-hole course set at 1,400 metres, surrounded by Alpine stillness. And its cultural detours are also rooted in the landscape — Hauser & Wirth Gstaad pairs blue-chip art with grazing pastures on a working farm. 

Local restaurants

In nearby Saanen, 16 Art Bar Restaurant is the insider pick: set in a former bell foundry, it mixes contemporary art with seriously good cooking and a natural-leaning wine list. Arc-en-Ciel, just by the Eggli lift, is your easy, anytime option for wood-fired pizzas and long, sun-drenched lunches. And for fondue done properly, Le Cerf delivers the full chalet experience — thick, bubbling pots and a room that’s packed with locals come evening. 

Local cafés

Early Beck is a true local institution — over a century old and still the go-to for pastries, artisanal chocolate and a quick coffee before heading out. For somewhere to linger, Charly's Gstaad sits right on the Promenade, where you can settle in with a creamy hot chocolate or a slice of raspberry tart and watch village life (and ice skaters) drift by.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this contemporary chalet hotel in the Bernese Oberland and unpacked their merino-layered activewear and mountain-ready boots, a full account of their Alpine break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside The Mansard in Gstaad… 

The newest arrival in Gstaad, The Mansard (from the ever-expanding Miiro Hotels) plays by local rules on the outside — pitched roof, timber, just-so proportions — but inside it’s a different story. With only 29 rooms, it sidesteps grand-hotel formality in favour of something more fuss-free. Warm woods, a mountain-matching palette and neat architectural lines avoid the usual Alpine excess. Sloped ceilings and window seats make the most of the setting, with balconies adding a seamless sense of connection to the village. 

Gstaad shifts gears with the seasons — from powder to pasture — and The Mansard keeps pace, closing only briefly each year and otherwise firmly in step with both. The hotel’s rooftop bar, the only one of its kind in town, makes staying put all the more tempting.
