Stylist’s editor-in-chief Lisa Smosarski swaps Alpine cliches for urban cool in Switzerland.

Say the word ‘Alpine’ and you’ll likely imagine something akin to a Christmas card. Snow-covered wooden lodges clustered in valleys, restaurants filled with red and white checked tablecloths, fondues, raclettes and perhaps the odd fur throw or pair of antlers on wooden walls.The Snowman

The Hide is a design hotel that opened in 2018 and is tucked away in the corner of the brutalist-inspired Stenna complex – a new lifestyle centre that also houses shops, museums, bars and apartments – right next to the Flims base station ski lifts.On first impressions, the hotel entrance is hard to find , and the hotel, which is set over all four floors of the building, is sandwiched between a car park, Co-op and a curious museum called Sciencity.

Our open-plan bedroom followed suit, combining traditional wood and raw stone with plush carpets and geometric print wallpapers. It is cosy but vibrant, and the large windows onto the slopes, plus a generous balcony, make the rooms feel large and bright.The Hide is unbelievably well located, just seconds from the Foppa ski lift that will whisk you up and out in minutes to the Flims-Laax-Falera ski area – one of the largest in Switzerland.

Although there were plenty of classic fondues and raclettes on offer, unusually we found other cuisines on offer too like Nooba in nearby Laax, a posh Wagamama serving Asian fusion, and The Hide Deli in our own hotel, offering numerous Middle Eastern-inspired dishes including delicious harissa olives and moreish flatbreads.
