ELIE SAAB, the globally renowned fashion and lifestyle brand, has partnered with A++ Group, a distinguished Swiss architectural and development firm, to launch POST Hotel & Residences by ELIE SAAB. Situated in Andermatt, this marks ELIE SAAB's first venture into the world of branded hospitality, combining the brand's signature elegance with the timeless beauty of the Swiss Alps.
Andermatt, celebrated for its unspoiled alpine charm, attracts visitors year-round with its diverse offerings. In winter, it boasts Central Switzerland's largest ski area, while summer brings championship golf and scenic hiking trails. With its rich cultural heritage and picturesque village centre, Andermatt is a destination that balances adventure with tranquillity.
The POST Hotel & Residences project revitalises the historic Hotel 3 Könige Und Post, a landmark dating back to 1788, under the expert guidance of A++ Group. The restoration preserves the building's classic 18th-century chalet style while integrating contemporary aesthetics that reflect ELIE SAAB's sophisticated design ethos. The development includes 40 units, with 19 luxurious residences and 21 elegantly crafted hotel rooms, all designed to offer a seamless blend of heritage and modernity.
Elie Saab Jr., CEO of ELIE SAAB, remarked, 'This project represents an exciting new chapter for our brand. After successfully completing over 20 branded real estate projects worldwide, we are proud to enter hospitality with A++ Group, our trusted partner in developing branded properties through Corporate Brand Maison.'
Paolo Colombo, Co-founder and Managing Director of A++, highlighted the unique opportunity the project presents, noting that it combines Andermatt's rich heritage with the refinement of modern luxury. The dual-purpose design offers owners the flexibility of exclusive residence access while enabling rental income during vacant periods, complemented by world-class amenities.
Every aspect of POST Hotel & Residences reflects ELIE SAAB's unmistakable style, with interiors featuring bespoke furnishings and décor from the ELIE SAAB Maison collection. The design combines alpine chic with an inviting warmth, using natural woods, plush fabrics, and timeless elements to create a sophisticated yet cosy atmosphere. Carlo Colombo, Co-founder and Creative Director of A++, described the interiors as a harmonious blend of ELIE SAAB's elegance with the comfort of mountain living, designed to make residents and guests feel entirely at home.
The property offers a comprehensive lifestyle experience, including a state-of-the-art wellness spa, indoor pool, fitness centre, and two fine-dining restaurants. Additional amenities such as a dedicated ski and bike lounge, children's club, and personalised concierge services ensure that every need is met. Seasonal activities and tailored experiences provide a unique and unforgettable stay for guests and residents alike.
Sales for the first phase of residences have begun, offering a rare chance to own a part of this exclusive development. Construction is scheduled to start in March 2025, with completion expected by the summer of 2027. Upon opening, POST Hotel & Residences by ELIE SAAB will welcome guests to experience the pinnacle of alpine luxury in the heart of Andermatt.
