Unica Capital unveils its most ambitious alpine project to date, Chalet Oberbort, Gstaad – a landmark estate that sets a new global benchmark for private mountain residences.
Located in Gstaad’s coveted Oberbort enclave, this landmark development spans more than 7,000m2, positioning it as the world’s largest chalet and a singular achievement in design-led alpine architecture. Conceived as a living sculpture embedded in the snowy slopes of Switzerland’s most prestigious ski destination, Chalet Oberbort is not simply a property, it is an immersive expression of scale, materiality and serenity. Designed with uncompromising attention to detail, the estate comprises three interconnected chalets, 19 ensuite bedrooms, a 1,500m² wellness sanctuary, and a rare constellation of curated ultra-luxury amenities.

An Architectural Statement for a Global Elite
Nestled within Gstaad’s Oberbort district – a discreet haven for royalty, visionaries and cultural icons – Chalet Oberbort occupies one of the most sought-after addresses in the Swiss Alps. The site offers panoramic mountain views, unrivalled privacy, and immediate proximity to Michelin-starred dining, luxury boutiques, and international schools. With nearby private airfields, the residence is accessible year-round for both winter and summer alpine seasons.

A Design Rooted in Landscape and Legacy
Inspired by the vernacular architecture of the region and shaped by contemporary sensibilities, the chalet’s design language blends aged timber, brushed bronze, locally quarried stone, and tactile natural textiles. The interiors reflect Unica Capital’s philosophy, prioritizing warmth, proportion and depth, where soaring ceilings and subtle lighting engage bespoke joinery, artisan finishes and carefully curated spatial rhythms to create a haven for the senses.
The architectural vision embraces both permanence and poetry: a retreat built to endure, while honoring the fleeting beauty of alpine light, snow and silence.
At Unica Capital, design and wellness are not merely aesthetic, but essential principles shaping every element of luxury living. Guided by a commitment to sustainable architecture, the use of natural and locally sourced materials, and profound respect for the landscape and privacy.
A Sanctuary of Wellness and Restoration
At Chalet Oberbort, wellness is more than a feature – it’s a way of life. Anchored by 1,500m² spa and fitness center, the chalet offers an immersive retreat where restoration is woven into the everyday. From thermal pools and snow showers to a hammam, sauna and treatment suites, each element is designed to rebalance the body and mind. This philosophy extends throughout the home, where organic gardens, indoor-outdoor.

A New Standard of Ultra-Luxury Living
Helmed by Swiss billionaire entrepreneur Byron Baciocchi, Unica Capital understands the evolving expectations of today’s most discerning clientele – those who seek more than design, but a lifestyle elevated in every dimension. At Chalet Oberbort, luxury is deeply personal. The residence combines the privacy and comfort of a home with the curated experiences of a private resort. A dedicated entertainment wing features a private cinema, Formula 1 simulator, dance floor, bowling alley, wine cellar, cigar room and ski room – all thoughtfully designed for effortless enjoyment. For Byron, luxury is about anticipating desire – and delivering it with precision, purpose and a sense of play. Chalet Oberbort – Gstaad is the embodiment of that vision.

“With Chalet Oberbort, we set out to create more than a residence – we wanted to evoke a sense of quiet majesty. It’s a space where architectural form, emotional atmosphere and material integrity come together,” said Byron Baciocchi, Chairman and CEO at Unica Capital. “It reflects our belief that true luxury is how a space makes you feel – not just what it contains.”
Features at a Glance
• 7,000m² of refined interior living across three interconnected chalets – the world’s largest private chalet

Six Senses Crans-Montana is ushering in a vibrant new season in the Swiss Alps, blending playful alpine energy with elevated wellness and refined dining. From immersive nature experiences to social culinary spaces, the resort continues to evolve its summer programming in ways that are both grounding and inspiring.
The Rhythm of the Forest
Among the most enriching additions is “Awaken with the Forest,” a weekly complimentary guided journey through the resort’s alpine forest. More than a walk, this 50-60 minute experience invites guests to align body, breath, and circadian rhythm through mindful movement,
barefoot grounding, present-moment awareness, and reflective journaling.
The experience begins with a curated quote and ends with time for inward reflection, designed to gently awaken the senses and reconnect guests with the healing rhythms of nature.
Plates Made for Sharing
This philosophy of healing and connection also informs the resort’s new culinary direction. Under the guidance of Executive Chef Emiliano Gabriel Vignoni Alvarellos, whose experience includes time at Michelin starred restaurants, Six Senses Crans-Montana’s signature restaurant, Wild Cabin has shifted to a shareable plates concept that brings the best of the season to the table.
Guests can expect dishes such as green asparagus with smoked potato mousse, roasted chicken croquettes with spicy mayo, and a beautifully crafted vegan dessert of carrot, almond, tonka bean, and ginger.
The new format celebrates locally produced ingredients and a sense of togetherness, staying true to Six Senses’ commitment to sustainability and community.
A Fresh Take on Club Alpin
Club Alpin, originally an après-ski favorite, has returned in a new warm-weather format. The lively terrace bar is open on the fifth floor, offering light bites and drinks with sweeping views and a relaxed, social atmosphere by the pool. Guests can enjoy new ping pong tables, open-air cinema, private changing cabins, and an ice cream cart, turning the area into a lively social hub.

“Mountainhead symbolizes the pinnacle of mountain luxury, whether you’re hosting a family celebration, planning a company retreat or seeking a serene winter getaway,” said Pamela Graves-Longley, co-founder and chief executive officer at Luxe Haus.

Mountainhead has seven bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, a chef’s kitchen and panoramic views from nearly every room.

Designed by acclaimed architect Michael Upwall, the estate is a masterclass in mountain modernism — where sculptural lines, floor-to-ceiling glass and a series of expansive terraces dissolve the boundaries between indoors and out. Guests can observe moose, elk and other native wildlife just feet from the glass, all while immersed in refined warmth, natural textures and sweeping views of the surrounding wilderness.

“Mountainhead symbolizes the pinnacle of mountain luxury, whether you’re hosting a family celebration, planning a company retreat or seeking a serene winter getaway,” said Pamela Graves-Longley, co-founder and chief executive officer at Luxe Haus. “More than its scale, homes like Mountainhead allow us to design deeply personal stays — from custom welcome moments to immersive, one-of-a-kind alpine experiences.

The Boca Raton, South Florida’s iconic private club and resort, announces the debut of the reimagined Beach Club, with reservations available beginning December 2024. When the $120 million investment is complete, the luxury oceanfront escape will seamlessly connect to its golden beach backdrop through a stunning redesign and curated experiences.

Resort guests and club members will set their own pace at Beach Club with new restaurants, a cocktail lounge and café, new fitness facility, dynamic oceanside event spaces, and a transformation of guest rooms and suites overlooking a half-mile stretch of private beach along the Atlantic Ocean.

“Beach Club has long been recognized as one of the most coveted beachside resort destinations in South Florida, and this evolution is poised to captivate a whole new category of discerning travelers while appealing to our legacy guests,” said Daniel A. Hostettler, President & CEO of The Boca Raton. “We are partnering with top designers and leading industry minds to create intriguing new offerings that will inspire. The new Beach Club will reflect the very best in design, dining, and experience—at the only beachfront resort in Boca Raton.”

Beach Club’s 210 spacious guest rooms and suites will showcase a spectacular design that blurs the lines between interiors and outdoors, complete with floor-to-ceiling ocean or Intracoastal views. The light-filled accommodations will embrace the sea breeze and natural textures, including honed marble and cerused woods complemented by vibrant coral velvet accents.

Among the elevated in-room amenities, a wet bar with water filtration system will invite guests to stay hydrated on the go. Beach Club will triple its quantity of suites, including the Grand Suite + Lanai that features one- and two-bedroom options that flow into expansive outdoor poolside living spaces with lounge seating, granting guests easy access to the fresh salt air from their private patios.

INSPIRED DINING

Beach Club will offer distinct oceanfront food and drink options.

The property’s beloved culinary destination, Marisol, will see a newly designed indoor-outdoor setting serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner just steps from the ocean. Fresh Mediterranean fare will appeal to the whole family. And after dinner, Marisol’s bar—a dramatic centerpiece of the restaurant’s design—will be a social hub to enjoy curated cocktails prepared with precision. Inspired by iconic coastal destinations, a new sand-side dining experience, Onda, will spotlight a new culinarian each winter season. In its opening season, guests at Onda will dine on classic island flavors.

Located just beyond Beach Club’s entrance, Living Room will feature world-class mixologists hand-crafting elegant evening aperitifs amid a mesmerizing atmosphere that begets intimate conversations. For a chance to sit back among the stars, an outdoor terrace overlooks the seascape. During daylight hours, guests will refresh and ruminate at Living Room’s café, a sunny space offering house-made pastries, light bites, and gourmet coffee.

The poolside White Bar is an open-air gathering spot with a relaxed atmosphere, featuring creative cocktails and an extensive wine list to be enjoyed while catching up with friends or catching the big game. Situated nearby, Ocean Market features quick gourmet bites and ice cream, allowing guests to return to their beach adventures without missing a beat.

CURATED EXPERIENCES

Beach Club will offer an extensive selection of amenities and services rooted in the spirit of the coastal lifestyle.  For a luxury experience with a touch of retro chic, Beach Club will be home to an exclusive VesBAR fleet, repurposed 1960s Vespas helmed by a cadre of skilled bartenders. The hotel’s distinct programming will celebrate intentional moments from day to night, including an immersive Ritual Series beginning with First Light oceanside wellness classes, a Sunset Ritual marking the evening transition with a signature soundtrack and artisanal aperitifs, and Night’s End, a special late-night wind down tradition.

When not relaxing on the hotel’s private beach or partaking in on-the-water adventures such as surfing and pedal kayaking, guests can swim or sunbathe at one of three pools or at Cabana Club, a collection of vibrant pool cabanas designed in partnership with St. Tropez swimwear brand Vilebrequin. Waterside adventures await the youngest guests and members at Banyan Bunch Beachside, a dedicated children’s program featuring fun amenities and educational activations designed around adventure, creation, discovery, and nature.

A PLACE TO GATHER

The ultimate setting for unforgettable meetings, events, oceanside weddings and celebrations, Beach Club offers a variety of indoor and outdoor venues. Newly transformed spaces include the beachfront Surfside Lawn framed by swaying palm trees that can be open-air or tented, the expansive Atlantic Ballroom, and the scenic outdoor Coastal Patio, each offering an idyllic location for gatherings of all sizes.

In addition to experiences enjoyed at the Forbes Five-Star Beach Club, a stay provides access to The Boca Raton’s Harborside amenities. Just a five-minute Water Taxi across the Intracoastal, the resort offers golf, tennis, pickleball, wellness experiences at Spa Palmera, as well as three pools, water slides, a floating river, and more at Harborside Pool Club.

Beach Club is being brought to life by Urban Robot Associates, a design collective based in Miami Beach, as well as landscape architecture firm EDSA, and Garcia Stromberg—a firm of architects, designers, and artists. This marks the second phase of The Boca Raton’s overall $375 million transformation. The first phase was completed in early 2023, which redesigned Harborside’s offerings and amenities, including Tower hotel, more than 12 restaurants and lounges, the new four-acre Harborside Pool Club, and upgrades to the storied Cloister hotel.

Crescent Hotels & Resorts has welcomed the historic NOPSI Hotel in New Orleans, Louisiana to its Latitudes: Lifestyles by Crescent collection. The former headquarters of New Orleans Public Service Inc., NOPSI is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places and is a member of Historic Hotels of America, standing as a living American treasure.

The NOPSI hotel is a powerful symbol of New Orleans’ Jazz Age legacy, reborn as a luxury hotel catering to sophisticated travelers. The architecturally unique building retains its original architectural details, including distinctive sweeping windows, high ceilings, and cast-iron rails. Offering 217 rooms with 60 expansive suites, the NOPSI features elegant furnishings inspired by the building’s history, complemented by local artwork and panoramic views of the New Orleans skyline. The hotel even has private terrace accommodations on the penthouse level, providing guests with a truly luxurious experience.

NOPSI provides guests with a culinary journey through New Orleans’ rich cultural heritage. Atop the hotel, the dynamic rooftop pool and bar, Above the Grid, serves as a year-round hotspot with poolside bites, handcrafted cocktails, and sweeping views of the city’s skyline. To further elevate the guest experience, the hotel recently added a retractable roof to its rooftop pool deck.

The hotel’s casually sophisticated restaurant, Public Service, pays homage to the hardworking Gulf Coast fishermen and farmers, serving contemporary cuisine from an open-display kitchen and modern raw bar. Transporting guests to the 1800s, Henry’s Gin Bar + Backyard offers an atmospheric setting with an outdoor patio for enjoying cocktails, light bites, and private events.

Thoughtfully curated by Broadway’s top dressing room designer for its most legendary stars, Devin Sparkles Design, the immersive suite draws inspiration from Disney’s award-winning THE LION KING on Broadway.

Guests who just can’t wait to be king will feel atop Pride Rock from the comfort of THE LION KING’s Royal Suite at Hilton New York Times Square, conveniently located three blocks away from Minskoff Theatre where guests can see the magic come to life on Broadway.

“Each detail of THE LION KINGRoyal Suite has been meticulously curated to create a truly one-of-a-kind experience completely inspired by Disney Theatrical Group’s iconic musical,” said Thomas Caska, general manager, Hilton New York Times Square. “At Hilton New York Times Square, we’re committed to providing guests and families with an innovative stay from check-in to check-out.

THE LION KING’s Royal Suite

The awe-inspiring spacious one-king one-bedroom deluxe suite allows guests to experience the peace and beauty of the Pride Lands. Upon arrival to the suite, guests are immediately transported to the Serengeti with details paying homage to Disney’s THE LION KING on Broadway, including large woven basket art, plants nodding to the sweeping grass that spreads across Africa’s plains, hand-painted Rafiki-inspired patterns that embellish the room’s furnishings and a large Rafiki sketch print framing the suite’s entryway. Guests will also encounter fabrics used in the musical displayed on soft goods including rugs, pillows and bedding, with wood touches decorating the space.

Throughout the suite, Pan-Asian-inspired woven baskets adorn the walls, bird puppets fly from the ceiling and hand-painted patterned chairs provide a soft place for guests to land while taking in framed costume sketches from the musical throughout the suite. In the bathroom, guests will find a lush, vibrant jungle oasis with artificial plants, contrasted by the warm Serengeti elements in the room.

THE LION KING’s Royal Suite experience package includes:

  • One round of two Hakuna Manhattan cocktails or two Serengeti Sunrise mocktails
  • A wake-up call from the Broadway musical’s own Rafiki, Tshidi Manye

Upon arrival to the hotel, the transformed ground and sky lobbies feature seasonal art installations curated by Celine Mo of Dinner Gallery, a contemporary gallery dedicated to developing and presenting emerging artists.

As guests take the journey to the sky lobby 15 floors above Times Square, they will be welcomed into a brand-new bar and lounge, 42nd & Sky, which overlooks Times Square and features craft cocktails and an elevated bar menu from Executive Chef Jason Routzahn.
