    Lighting company B Light has lit up the interiors of the new chalet-like hotel in the Swiss Alps…

    A luxury hotel surrounded by the Swiss mountains that hides behind the façade of a traditional chalet, Ultima Gstaad Hotel is very much seen as a jewel of hospitality at high altitude. Illuminating the hotel to show it in its best possible light were the lighting experts at B LIGHT who used various products to give each area of the hotel new life.

    The hotel introduces a new luxury concept that provides an extraordinary level of refinement, relaxation and style. Located in the heart of the village of Gstaad, the exclusive resort offers its guests all the comforts of a luxury hotel, without sacrificing the welcoming and homely atmosphere, which has long been a characteristic of mountain accommodation.

    Thanks to B LIGHT luminaires, chosen in the colour temperature of 4000K in order to contrast with the warm colour of wood, the hotel shines to impress. From the bedrooms to the spa, the lighting company has given the final touch to the refined and elegant areas.

    Dimly lit F&B areas reflect the alpine location

    Baster Sq and Baster Sq Mini were chosen to illuminate the ceiling of the public areas – the café, restaurant and hallways. The two recessed and dimmable luminaires belong to the Baster family: their lighting effect can be adjusted so that the designer is free to choose how to add value to spaces and objects. Baster luminaires are also to be found in the bedrooms, together with some luminaires of the Maia family. These adjustable projectors have a sober and neat design and were installed between the ceiling beams in order to add a suggestive and enchanting atmosphere. Elsewhere, Maia X1 illuminate the flowerbeds at the entrance of the resort.

    Spa area

    Atria Mini was used to illuminate the fireplace situated in the hall. This product’s compact recessed and dimmable LED light makes it perfect for enhancing the most polished spaces, as it does not have visible screw holes. In the stainless steel version, Atria Mini Inox also light up the spa with a delicate and relaxing light, typical of a high level structure.

    The lighting experts did not neglect the walkway to the relaxation area, near the outdoor Jacuzzi. Here the recessed luminaire Lappen 1 was used to create unexpected lighting effects, thanks to the soft oblique light that is its main feature.

    B LIGHT’s innovative solutions together with attention to detail and quality, has created  fabulous lighting for an enchanting and stylish environment that sits in the mountain as an authentic jewel.
