The Mansard is situated in the heart of Gstaad, Switzerland – an iconic alpine resort nestled into the Bernese mountains. With an enviable location on the promenade, the hotel is perfectly positioned for those wanting to explore the great outdoors, uncover the charm of the neighbourhood, or simply unwind in the serenity of the mountains from the comfort of the hotel. Its opening marks the third for Miiro, joining Le Grand Hôtel Cayré in St-Germain-des-Pres and Borneta in El Born. This rapidly growing collection will also welcome new additions in London and Vienna in 2025.
