Suite 33, Hotel Olden, Gstaad, Hotel Olden, Gstaad

A 64 m² suite with room to actually live in

Suite 33 opens onto 64 square meters of space inside Hotel Olden, a timber-faced house of eight suites set directly on Gstaad's pedestrian promenade. This is not a room you pass through on the way to the slopes: it is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom configuration built for a party of four who want separation, not just square footage. Hardwood floors run throughout, soundproofing holds the alpine quiet in place, and the suite's position within a small, named-suite property means no two neighboring rooms share a layout.

The space and flow

Two bedrooms sit apart from the shared living area, each with its own adjoining bathroom, a configuration that matters when four people are sharing one address for a week of skiing. A sofa anchors the seating area, giving the suite a defined place to gather that is distinct from where you sleep. Wardrobes and closets are built into the circulation, and a socket positioned near the bed keeps the sleeping zone functional without extension cords trailing across parquet.

Design and finishes

The material language favors warmth over spectacle: hardwood or parquet flooring, bathrobes and slippers in both bathrooms, a mix of feather, non-feather, and hypoallergenic pillow options across the two bedrooms. Each bathroom carries its own set of free toiletries, shampoo, conditioner, body soap, and a shower cap, alongside a private shower or bath. A coffee machine and electric kettle sit ready in the suite, with minibar service for anything beyond the morning routine.

The view and outdoors

The terrace is the suite's outdoor room: a private extension of the living area, built for slow observation rather than passing through. Access to the suite is by stairs only, upper floor, which keeps the terrace and the rooms around it removed from ground-level foot traffic on the promenade below.

Who is this for?

You are traveling with your family for a week of skiing and need two children, or two couples, to have separate bedrooms and separate bathrooms rather than sharing one. You are staying long enough that a single, recognisable suite matters more than hotel volume, and you want to return to the same terrace each winter. You are based in the suite for alpine sport but still want a seating area distinct from the bedrooms, somewhere to end the day without being surrounded by ski gear.

La Suite's verdict

Suite 33 is Hotel Olden's case for staying somewhere small on purpose: eight suites, eight distinct layouts, and this one built specifically for two bedrooms to function independently rather than as an afterthought. The terrace, reached only by stairs, has the quiet of a room nobody stumbles onto by accident. For a family or two couples who want privacy without booking two separate rooms in a larger hotel, this is the more exact fit. The hardwood floors underfoot, cool and warm at once, are the kind of detail you only notice once you are already settled in.
