A kingdom for the senses between heaven and earth.
The Tschuggen Grand Hotel and the Tschuggen Bergoase in Arosa. Star architect Mario Botta has created a 5000 m² wellness oasis at an elevation of 1800 m which now, after three years of construction work, reveals its fabulous face in the mountain world of Arosa in the Swiss canton of Grisons. The roof, with its opulent yet filigree sails in glass and steel, blends harmoniously with the setting. By day, the sails allow plenty of light into the rooms below; at night, they bathe the idyllic mountain village of Arosa in a warm light. Not for nothing has the four-storey building, which serves as the spa for the renowned Tschuggen Grand Hotel, been named the “Bergoase” (“Mountain oasis”). The planners found the perfect partner for this ambience, and for the hotel itself, in the understated design of Hansgrohe overhead showers and the Axor Starck line.
