4. Curved banquette
seating at Capricorn
brasserie looks out onto
the Alps through a wall
of windows, allowing the
sunlight-which plays
a significant role in the
hotel's interiors-to
pour through.
5. The hotel's neutral
palette of gray and
brown tones continues
in the club lounge.

6. The indoor-outdoor
pool in the Alpine Spa,
which features limed
oak and silver quartzite
floors.
7. Blond wood floors and
leaf-patterned area rugs

to make patients] feel better," she adds. "The
hotel therefore has big windows to bring the
sun rays in."
The common spaces are at once
cohesive with the building and unique to
their individual aesthetic. Hotel bar Nuts
& Co and Capricorn brasserie open to a
wide, outdoor deck with arresting views of
the Alps. Matsu, Davos' sushi restaurant,
is adorned in light wood, pale teal walls
(echoing the blue-green glacial water in
the area), and woodland-inspired red,
amber, and brown pendant lights. Blue Sky
Hospitality's Henry Chebaane designed
the property's upscale restaurant, Studio
Grigio-the only non-CM Design crafted
space-where he used more than 80 tones
of black, gray, and white to evoke the moody
feeling of mountain mineralogy. On the sublobby floor, the Alpine Spa is outfitted with
angled archways, a silver quartzite floor, and
limed oak while also featuring an indooroutdoor heated recirculating pool.
Not surprisingly, lighting design is
integral throughout to continue the Alpine
feel. One example is the 92-foot-long
chandelier that spans the lobby. With
snowdrifts as inspiration, artist Moritz
Waldemeyer matched "1,400 glass beads
in their suspension for a slight flowing
shape," explains lighting consultant Katja
Winkelmann of Licht 01 Lighting Design. hd
