Design Hotels Go your own way. The Nira Alpina hotel, in the Swiss resort of St. Moritz at the foot of Mt. Corvatsch, is designed for independent, nomadic travellers. We offer an alternative, more authentic experience, putting pleasure before protocol and fun before formality. And we put you in the heart of the mountains. In winter, ski out / ski in. In summer, start your hiking or biking at 1870 metres. Any time, find san ctuary in our Nira Spa. Devoted to pleasure – and fast access to the pistes and paths – Nira Alpina provides a new, more exciting approach to the Engadin. Why settle for a simple Alpine lodge, when you can stay in the stylish Nira Alpina hotel? All rooms and suites feature a large terrace or balcony and panoramic windows overlooking the Engadin mountains. Inside, the spacious accommodation at our Surlej hotel is neither ostentatiously glitzy, nor traditionally folksy. Natural materials such as Swiss Spruce, Italian stone and suede are used and hi-tech amenities include a flat-screen TV showing 87 channels, an iPod docking station and free Wi-Fi. Each modern granite bathroom has a deep bath and waterfall shower. St. Moritz restaurants are world-renowned, and at Nira Alpina we serve world flavours to satisfy the appetites of worldly, nomadic travellers. A typical meal might well include classic favourites from Thailand, India, Italy and Japan – a far cry from most Engadin restaurants. Taking a cue from our surroundings, the Nira Alpina cuisine is natural and fresh, with most ingredients farmed, caught, raised or bred within a few kilometres. Service is efficient and relaxed, delivered with unfussy charm. At Nira Alpina we prefer attentive, friendly care to rigid formality. The Nira Spa experience goes beyond physical revitalisation to include all the elements of holistic, stress-free living. Amid peaceful surroundings rivaling any St. Moritz spa, our aim is to create harmony between the inner and outer self. You'll feel total renewal as you rediscover tranquillity through the nurturing touch of our therapists’ expert, caring hands. From the relaxation room to the well-equipped gym, from the sauna to the whirlpool, you'll find a sanctuary devoted to physical and mental wellbeing. Cocooned from the hotel's hurly-burly, you'll find peace.
