About Experimental Chalet

Not long ago the original Experimental Cocktail Club took Paris by storm, and what began as a liquor-fueled labor of love soon snowballed into bars, restaurants, even hotels — a full-spectrum hospitality brand. Now the Experimental Group’s urban hotels — two in Paris and one in London — are joined by the Experimental Chalet, in the Swiss Alpine village of Verbier. Frankly, if you can make it in the hippest quarters of London and Paris, you can make it in the Alps. The Experimental Chalet is stylistically miles ahead of the vast majority of ski hotels (to say nothing of its nightlife). The interiors, by Milanese architect Fabrizio Casiraghi, pay homage to the modernist styles that were current during the postwar ski boom, and the light, minimalist look is a refreshing departure from the old Alpine standard. The Chalet’s lobby bar is, as you’d expect, an impressive one, and it’s joined by the Farm Club downstairs, an upscale nightclub that’s among the village’s hottest tickets. There’s also a farm-to-table restaurant, serving sustainably sourced fare by the Parisian chef Gregory Marchand. And if you can spare a moment for a bit of skiing, you’ve got easy access to the vast network of lifts and slopes that makes up the Quatre Vallées.
