Heinz Julen Loft / Zermatt
Description
The luxury chalet Loft was selected by the London Times as one of the 20 coolest chalets in the Alps for a second year in a row this year. This is without doubt the most spectacular property in Zermatt, if not the Alps. A huge 300sqm Manhattan style loft set in a wooden chalet in the Swiss Alps; it combines acres of glass, steel, textured concrete and wood in a unique symphony of fusion architecture created by local star designer Heinz Julen.
The Loft was Heinz' private home where he hosted many rock-star parties. Access is a 2 minute walk from the top of the Omnia Hotel lifts, for which you will have a special key. The village end of the lift delivers you to the heart of Zermatt, in the main street close to the church.
The sense of space, light and closeness to nature that the Loft provides is unparalleled: there are no barriers between the nature outside and the home space inside – all is fluid and free. On the two sides overlooking the village, the walls consist of floor to ceiling glass, with French windows 6 metres high leading to a large terrace. (There is a white electric exterior curtain that can wrap itself around all that glass if need be). The ceiling is supported by seven columns, while the glass walls have an inset fireplace and three alcoves.
The main loft living area has a suspended and illuminated table which can be raised and lowered from coffee table, to dining table, to ceiling height; the latter creating a large party space. In one corner you can play on a baby grand Steinway piano, while in another you can sink into a large sofa and gaze simultaneously at the stunning view over the village and at the crackling fireplace set into the glass wall.
Around you: two desks, jack-in-the-box armchairs, a wall of art, and a signature Heinz Julen chandelier. In fact, all the sought-after furniture in the Loft is designed by Heinz. From this level a metal staircase leads up to the mezzanine, which has another sofa chill-out area with TV; a free standing jacuzzi bath, a cozy dining alcove, a galley kitchen (with cupboard handles made out of bent soup spoons), a cantilevered bar area and a guest toilet. As you walk on this floor you will notice that the floating feeling it creates is due to it being made entirely of opaque glass with subtle inset lighting.
Overlooking the main loft area, there are two double en-suite bedrooms, one above the other. Each bedroom has its own small bathroom with shower and WC, and a balcony. The third, master bedroom is very private with its own landing. It is an exact replica of the famous Into the Hotel suites created by Heinz Julen, featuring a free-standing bath with wood-slatted massage cover, an island bed on a rotating floor, his and her bedroom sinks, a separate shower room and WC, a walk-in wardrobe, a sofa, and a TV set into the glass window. Both levels of the Loft are served by a private lift (elevator).
All guests of the Heinz Julen Loft have half-price access between 1pm and 5pm to the Backstage Hotel Genesis Spa.

LUXURY SKI HOLIDAYS IN ZERMATT
From the moment you step off your Swiss-red train, catching sight of the cobbled streets and horses with sleighs patiently waiting for their rides, you know you are in a special place. Don't miss to stay in one of our exclusive luxury ski chalets in Zermatt, catered or self-catered with swimming pool, sauna and hot tub.
Silence is what strikes everybody most often. There are no cars in Zermatt! This immediately creates a welcoming atmosphere. The air is fresh and Alpine in Fairytale-like Zermatt. But more than this, you immediately feel a part of the village - it draws you in. Zermatt is probably the most romantic of all ski resorts.
Everyone is on foot, locals and visitors alike. The main street bustles happily with pedestrians. There are no impersonal tour buses belching out noise, fumes, and package tourists. Zermatt is no auto through-route, the train stops here. Every walk on from here is on foot or ski. For more than a century guests come here because they love the mountains. Walking through the cobbled paths of town, between the ancient sunburnt barns and chalets, catching the very first glimpse of iconic Matterhorn - this is the moment you know you have come to the right place. Zermatt, under the shadow of the Matterhorn, is one of Europe's best ski areas. Welcome to Switzerland's chocolate box ski resort Zermatt!
SKIING IN ZERMATT
Linked to Cervinia, just over the border in Italy, Zermatt offers 360 kilometres of pistes. Despite 52 lifts, there is often a bit of a queue to get up the mountain in the morning. Once there you will be spoiled for choice whatever your ability. Throw in a world class terrain park and pipe and you realize Zermatt is truly a top resort. Off the piste, Zermatt is traditional, slightly snobby and expensive. Nightlife is also very good. And: Zermatt is the Swiss Alpine village with the greatest variety of culinary experiences. The choice is huge: from traditional dishes to trendy creations to Michelin-starred establishments.
