Gonten, Appenzell Innerrhoden, Switzerland - Alpine Retreat Suite - 2,200 sqm Quell Spa - Alpstein Views
Huus Quell is Europe's newest 5-star superior wellness sanctuary - a member of The Leading Hotels of the World set amid the rolling Alpine meadows of Gonten in Appenzell Innerrhoden at 900 metres above sea level, with the Alpstein massif and the Säntis as backdrop. The hotel was built using the traditional Appenzeller knit construction method - solid wood and natural stone from the Appenzell region, processed using neither glue nor metal in the load-bearing structure, with moon wood felled at specific moon phases for greater durability. The 30 rooms and suites are designed with the same philosophy of natural materials and mindful craftsmanship.
The 2,200 square metre Quell Spa is the most extensive wellness landscape in eastern Switzerland - designed by GOCO Hospitality specialists with 11 pools, cryotherapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, a longevity area, saunas, steam baths, and a complete programme of holistic wellness treatments, meditation, and nutrition consultancy. The sound healing experience in the Alpine pastures surrounding Huus Quell is the most distinctive wellness ritual available at the sanctuary - a private session with the expert sound healer in the open Alpine meadows above Gonten, with the Alpstein massif as the most extraordinary natural backdrop.
The Appenzell region surrounding Huus Quell offers the most authentic Swiss Alpine wellness landscape available at any luxury retreat in Switzerland - the forest paths for Shinrin-yoku forest bathing, the Alpine meadows for sunrise yoga with a private instructor, the traditional Appenzell craft village, and the gently rolling hills with hiking trails that connect the sanctuary to the broader Alpstein landscape.
