The Lodge 5 Stars
"Richard Branson's sumptuous ski lodge, a world away from 'alpine kitsch', with haute-design interiors and fantastic food."
Hotel Overview
The Lodge is the latest luxury hotel to be added to Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Limited Edition portfolio. This beautiful mountain hideaway in the Swiss Alps is perched high in a forested area just a five minute walk from the town of Verbier which is home to an array of bars and restaurants. It's an amazing year-round destination offering the perfect summer escape.
The facilities
This luxury hotel comes complete with indoor pool, Jacuzzis, steam room, gym and a treatment room, promising its guests sublime levels of indulgence and pampering. For guests just wanting to unwind, the game room offers a pool table, state-of-the-art 50" plasma TV and endless DVDs, CDs and Nintendo Wii.
Foodies are very well catered-for at this luxury hotel, as they can watch the chef at work in the open plan kitchen and dine at the breakfast bar, at the dining table, or even outside on the terrace. Everyone is encouraged to treat The Lodge more like a home away from home than like a luxury hotel. With over 400km of trails for hiking and mountain biking, plus golf courses, tennis courts and paragliding on your doorstep, it's little surprise to learn that The Lodge is Sir Richard Branson's favourite Alpine retreat.
Families are very welcome at this luxury hotel. Children of all ages will be invited to take part in The Lodge Rangers. Each guest gets a welcome pack and a range of great activities that are available on request. These packs include children's DVDs, toys, an Xbox, books, games, and treasure hunts in the evenings if they are not too tired after a long day out. Various activities specifically with children's needs can also be arranged, from tennis, biking, swimming and much more.
The rooms
This luxury hotel is unlike any other. Rather than the stuffiness of a hundred rooms and suites, the petite and intimate atmosphere of The Lodge will cater and impress every guest with its precise attention to detail and comfort. This luxury hotel features nine stunning rooms and suites. For families travelling with young ones a special bunkroom, with accommodation for up to six kids, is conveniently available.

The Press Say
"1960s inspired furnishings fill the five festive bedrooms upstairs, literally covering the spectrum from a rose-colored children’s room equipped with low- to high-tech toys, to a shocking violet adult lair; while ensuite bathrooms are outfitted with the latest Philippe Starck cube loos."
