About Huus Quell

The little-known Appenzell is quintessential Switzerland, a region full of rolling hills dotted with mooing cows and centuries-old farmhouses. Huus Quell , a wellness resort conceived by tech titan (and Appenzell native son) Jan Schoch, manages to fit right in—despite being one of the most progressive new hotels of the year. The construction: sustainably fabricated entirely from locally sourced woods, and carbon-neutral, with nary a nail or metal frame to speak of. The spa is a combination of traditional saunas, steam rooms, and therapies paired with cutting-edge cryo, infrared, and other biohacking treatments. Even the small details come from big ideas. Plastic is all but banned. Cuisine is almost entirely locally sourced (one exception being the six wine cellars featuring Schoch’s favorite labels from around the globe). And in the 30 rooms, pillows, drapes, and wallcoverings have been custom designed by Jakob Schlaepfer, the local Swiss textile house that supplies Dior and Chanel. It all makes for a wellness resort that looks good, feels good—and truly is good. Doubles from $550. —Jackie Caradonio
