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.”

 Small Luxury Hotels of the World

This new gateway to the Thermal Resort marks the latest milestone in Tabacón’s broader vision to enhance every aspect of the experience through luxury, wellness, and sustainability. More than an architectural feature, it redefines how guests begin their connection with the natural world and Costa Rica’s only natural thermal river born at the base of the Arenal Volcano. This is where the signature Tabacón experience begins: a living river surrounded by tropical gardens, rainforest beauty, open-air spaces inspired by local artistry, and the sensory invitation to slow down and reconnect in these thermal waters.

Designed by Taller KEN, the new facilities connect the architecture with nature, and spaces flow with the forest’s topography. Key elements are crafted from river and volcanic stone from San Ramón, as well as fallen Guanacaste, teak, and cenizaro woods – each embodying the textures of the surrounding landscape. The project celebrates Costa Rican artistry through collaborations with Oldemar Rodríguez, who carved volcanic and river stones; Freddy Pérez, a third-generation woodworker blending wood and stone; Bernardo Urbina, whose contemporary furniture bridges design and nature; and Jonathan Barrantes, known for his intricate wood sculptures inspired by local flora and fauna. Together, their work transforms the space into a living expression of Tabacón’s inimitable beauty.

“Tabacón offers what no other resort can — a living thermal river and a sense of place that is entirely Costa Rican,” says Andrey Gomez, General Manager of Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa.

Since 2022, Tabacón has invested $7 million USD in a series of strategic enhancements that strengthen the  resort’s leadership in sustainable luxury. These include the complete redesign of all guest rooms and suites, the construction of a new culinary production kitchen dedicated to preparing every dish entirely in-house ensuring full control over flavor, freshness, and artisanal quality upgrades to the thermal pool areas, and the completion of the Arrival Experience with 2,253m2 (24,251ft2) of new infrastructure on the site of the former conference facilities. This investment strategy will continue into 2026, further elevating the guest journey in alignment with evolving expectations and the brand’s core pillars of luxury, wellness, and sustainability.

Nestled at the base of Costa Rica’s Arenal Volcano, Tabacón offers one of the world’s most authentic and naturally immersive luxury experiences. With 105 rooms and suites, the resort features mineral-rich thermal pools fed by a river that flows directly from the volcano itself. Guests enjoy open-air wellness experiences, rainforest surroundings, and cuisine crafted entirely in-house with local ingredients. Tabacón’s philosophy is rooted in authenticity: the luxury of being in a place where nature is not only present, but alive and flowing.

The resort’s Legacy of Regeneration guides every decision — from low-impact construction to reforestation programs and biodiversity protection. Through this philosophy, Tabacón also supports the local community with initiatives that include partnerships with nearby schools, cultural education programs, and job creation that prioritizes local talent. Sustainability is not just a value, but an operating principle that shapes every  detail of the guest experience.

With 59 oceanfront suites carved into a dramatic cliffside, each featuring a private terrace and plunge pool overlooking the sea, Cala de Mar has long been recognized among Mexico’s top boutique resorts. The experience here is rooted in privacy, service, and a connection to the surrounding landscape. Guests awaken to the sound of waves, dine over open-air terraces with panoramic views, and unwind as the sun melts into the horizon. A charming funicular shuttles guests up and down the cliffside throughout the day, adding both convenience and a touch of adventure to the resort’s distinctive coastal design.

Travelers seeking a stress-free winter escape will find Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo especially appealing for its accessibility and sense of scale. The destination’s international airport (ZIH) is just a 20-minute drive from Cala de Mar, with direct flights from cities including Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, and Vancouver. Once there, visitors can explore two distinct worlds: Ixtapa, with its palm-fringed beaches and polished marina, and Zihuatanejo, a laid-back seaside town filled with artisan markets, cobblestone streets, and open-air seafood restaurants.

While the resort’s peaceful atmosphere encourages guests to linger by their private pools, the surrounding region offers endless opportunities for exploration. A short drive south leads to Barra de Potosi, a fishing village known for its mangrove estuaries and birdwatching. To the north lies Troncones, a relaxed surf town where beachside cafes and yoga studios dot the sandy streets. Between them are miles of uncrowded beaches, hiking trails, and lookout points.

At Cala de Mar, dining is a highlight of the experience. Las Rocas serves breakfast perched just above the surf, where fresh-baked pastries, local fruit, and acai bowls are paired with views of the waves below. In the evening, A Mares showcases contemporary Mexican cuisine, where the menus draw inspiration from the flavors and traditions of Guerrero. Thank delicate ceviches and grilled fish to risottos infused with regional herbs. Guests can take part in hands-on cooking classes that celebrate the stories and ingredients of the coast.

Wellness is woven into daily life at Cala de Mar. The resort’s El Capricho Spa incorporates indigenous healing rituals and natural elements of the ocean into its treatments. Yoga, meditation, and sound therapy sessions take place with sea views, creating a sense of grounding that mirrors the surrounding environment.

Beyond its cliffside calm, Cala de Mar’s location makes it easy for travelers to experience the best of Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo. Guests can stroll Zihuatanejo’s lively waterfront promenade, visit the Museo Arqueológico de la Costa Grande, or take a water taxi to Playa Las Gatas, a calm, reef-protected beach perfect for swimming and snorkeling. For a touch of nightlife, Ixtapa’s coastal boulevard offers restaurants and lounges that combine ocean views with live music and fresh seafood.

Fall and winter are considered the most beautiful seasons to visit the region. From November through March, Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo enjoys its driest, sunniest weather, with temperatures averaging 85°F and virtually no rain. The sea remains calm and warm, ideal for kayaking, paddleboarding, or simply relaxing on the sand. For many travelers, this balance of perfect weather and smaller crowds makes it one of Mexico’s most rewarding coastal escapes.

Cala de Mar captures the essence of sophisticated yet understated, with luxury that is rooted in a sense of place. Here, every suite opens ot the ocean, every meal is paired with a view, and its curated moments reflect the natural beauty and slow pace of this stretch of Mexico’s Pacific. For travelers seeking warmth, privacy, and the Mexico connection, Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo delivers, and there’s no better vantage point than Cala de Mar.

Originally opened in 1909, the Gunter Hotel returns as a part of Marriott Bonvoy’s Tribute Portfolio, joining more than 160 hotels globally, each drawn together by their captivating design, vibrant social spaces and sincere service. The revitalized property features 311 guest rooms—including 30 suites and 14 ADA rooms—complemented by new amenities such as a state-of-the-art recording studio, 900+ album vinyl library, and four original dining and bar concepts. Additional amenities include a rooftop pool, 24/7 state-of-the-art fitness center and 20,000 square feet of meeting spaces.

“We are incredibly excited to welcome guests to the newly transformed Gunter Hotel and to share the next chapter of this historic icon,” said Owner and Managing Director at Axle Capital Jiwon Choi. “Our team has worked tirelessly to blend the hotel’s rich legacy with the best in modern luxury and hospitality, so we are confident that The Gunter will offer an unforgettable stay for both locals and travelers from around the world. It’s an honor to lead such a talented team, and we look forward to serving our guests with the highest standards of excellence.”

All guest rooms and select public spaces are now open, including access to the signature restaurant Jots and the elegant Keystone Club, with the full hotel opening to follow later this year.

A Timeless Reawakening: The Gunter Hotel Design

Reimagined by award-winning design firm DLR Group, the Gunter Hotel’s interiors celebrate its Beaux-Arts architectural legacy while infusing it with bold, contemporary character. Classical symmetry is layered with avant-garde moments—unexpected artwork, dramatic lighting, and rich textures—designed to inspire curiosity and creativity at every turn.

Guest rooms feature thoughtfully updated layouts with modern bathrooms, mid-century-inspired fixtures, and a moody, refined color palette. As a tribute to blues legend Robert Johnson, who famously recorded at the hotel in 1936, each room includes a record player and a copy of his first album, with a curated vinyl library available in the lobby. Guests can pick out any vinyl from the 900+ albums available. An onsite Vinyl Ambassador is able to provide personal recommendations upon request.

From the deep jewel tones and secret passageways of The Studio, to the maroon-veined stone and fluted brass bar at The Keystone Club, every corner invites exploration. Jots, the hotel’s new restaurant, evokes a writer’s retreat with warm leather banquettes, inkwell blue walls, and a collection of hand-drawn sketches that honor the art of storytelling.

Culinary Storytelling: The Gunter’s Layered Spaces, Bold Flavors, and Creative Spirit

The Gunter Hotel debuts four distinct food and beverage experiences that honor its creative spirit and cultural legacy: Jots, The Keystone Club, Bar 414, and Paris Baguette.

Jots and Keystone Club are now open with a limited menu and are available to hotel guests and the public. Jots is currently serving breakfast only, available daily from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., with plans to introduce a full menu soon. Keystone is open daily from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., offering a curated selection of food and beverage options, with a full menu launch coming soon.

The Gunter Hotel’s signature restaurant, Jots, is an homage to the supper clubs that gained popularity in the mid-1900s. Named after Jonathan “Jot” Gunter, a local rancher and financier of the hotel in 1909, Jots reflects his lively spirit. The restaurant will serve classic American cuisine with a retro flair, using regional and seasonal ingredients. Items on the menu will include dishes like Rosemary Prime Rib, Brown Butter Scallops and Pan Seared Alaskan Salmon, alongside sweets like a Grilled Citrus Pound Cake and Charred Peach Cheesecake to name a few.

The Keystone Club is located in the lobby of the Gunter Hotel, welcoming guests to enjoy a cocktail under the ambiance of art deco chandeliers and ornate embellishments that surround the hotel’s interior. The bar takes inspiration from its elegant surroundings, providing a sophisticated and classic menu of cocktails, beer, and wine.

Bar 414 is an intimate speakeasy hidden behind a gallery wall. Named for the room where Robert Johnson recorded in 1936, the bar celebrates the Gunter’s musical roots with vintage décor, a curated drink list, and a moody, welcoming atmosphere. An opening date for Bar 414 is coming soon.

Additionally, Paris Baguette, the internationally renowned café and bakery, will open its first San Antonio location onsite—serving artisanal pastries, breads, and expertly crafted coffee beverages. An opening date for Paris Baguette will be announced soon.

The culinary program is led by an accomplished team: Director of Outlets Nicholle Purnell, Director of Culinary Development Sarah Myles, and Chef de Cuisine Hayley Unruh, who bring creativity, passion, and innovation to every dish and drink.

New Amenities: Where Creativity Meets Experience

In addition to its immersive dining and bar experiences, the Gunter will introduce a recording studio—a nod to the hotel’s musical heritage and a space for today’s artists to leave their mark. Elevated above the iconic Bar 414 and accessed through a hidden staircase, this richly appointed social lounge invites guests into an intimate world of inspiration—where jewel-toned interiors, polished brass accents and timeless Art Deco touches converge in a layered, atmospheric retreat. The recording studio is slated to open later this year.

The Gunter Hotel, part of Tribute Portfolio, also provides guests access to the Marriott Bonvoy program, allowing members to earn and redeem points during their stay and at various hotels and resorts within Marriott Bonvoy’s extensive collection around the world.

The Gunter Hotel will continue its phased opening through 2025. For updates, follow the hotel on  Instagram and Facebook. For additional details about the hotel, visit www.thegunterhotel.com.

Originally inaugurated in 1862 as the Politeama Fiorentino, the theatre – later relocated in 2014 to a new venue nearby – was a cultural beacon that hosted legends including Maria Callas and Franco Zeffirelli. Now the building, which has just undergone a regeneration project, restores value and beauty to a strategic area that had stood idle for years. Starhotels, born in Florence and recognized for its Made-in-Italy hospitality, has been selected to manage the property, opening next October 1, 2025, bringing the brand’s signature style and service to a contemporary residential setting.

“The Teatro Luxury Apartments bring a new chapter to Florence’s cultural story. By reimagining this historic theatre as a place to live, we invite residents and visitors alike to experience the city’s art, history, and architecture in an entirely new way,” said Elisabetta Fabri, Starhotels’ President and CEO.

The regenerated complex now hosts the Teatro Luxury Apartments across three buildings – Verdi, Rossini and Puccini – named in homage to the former theatre’s cultural legacy; at their center, a newly created square open to the community, Piazza Maria Callas, established by the City of Florence, provides an open civic space that reconnects the site with the neighborhood for residents and visitors alike.

Design & Living

The apartments, offered in a range of sizes and typologies, are designed for flexible stays, from short visits to extended periods, with a warm, residential atmosphere that encourages guests to experience Florence at a gentler pace and in closer connection with local life.

Drawing inspiration from Italy’s great theatres, interiors are defined by Art Deco influences, rich materials, and sweeping layouts. High floors feature panoramic city views, while balconies, terraces, designer showers, and Turkish baths elevate everyday living. Thoughtful storage, flexible layouts (studios to three-bedrooms), and fully equipped kitchens adapt to both short-term travelers and long-term residents.

Family Program

Starhotels also extends its renowned V.I.K. – Very Important Kids Family Program to Teatro Luxury Apartments, making it easy for families to experience Florence together. With spacious, multi-bedroom apartments and thoughtful amenities such as baby gear, toys, and exclusive partner perks, families of all sizes can find the ideal home base. From personalized welcome gifts to curated city experiences designed with little travelers in mind, the Family Program ensures every generation feels at home.

Lifestyle & Amenities

Guests benefit from a full suite of services, including 24-hour reception, concierge, housekeeping, luggage storage, laundry facilities, and secure digital connectivity. Highlights include:

• A collection of social spaces, such as communal lounges and co-working areas, designed for connecting, collaborating and meeting with friends and colleagues;
• A panoramic terrace with solarium and hydropool;
• A Guest Relations team with Signature Experiences, offering curated activities to enrich your stay in Florence, including hot air balloon rides over the Tuscan hills, Ferrari drives along scenic routes, private wine tastings in charming estates, and more
• Exclusive access to the Circolo del Tennis Firenze 1898, including clay tennis and padel courts, an outdoor swimming pool, a restaurant, and private club facilities

In addition to the residences, the broader project includes a new wellness and lifestyle hub to Florence’s community: a Wellness Center with fitness area and dining venues – managed by external operators – will serve the neighborhood and guests of Teatro Luxury Apartments.

Sustainability & Community

On track for LEED Gold certification in 2025, the redevelopment recycled 97.5% of demolition waste and incorporates rainwater harvesting, smart energy management, and advanced climate control. Italian-made finishes and infrastructure improvements reflect Starhotels’ commitment to sustainability and neighborhood revitalization.

With its unique combination of history, design, sustainability, and lifestyle, the Teatro Luxury Apartments Firenze – Starhotels Collezione marks a new era in Florence’s hospitality landscape. The property offers residents and visitors a cultural landmark reimagined for modern living.
