[title]Some things in life are just too good to be true, and then there are things that somehow manage to be even better than you could have possibly imagined. Life in the Swiss Alps is firmly in the second category.
With a world-class winter sports scene, life-affirming mountain scenery, tons of outdoor activities, first-rate shopping and streets full of excellent restaurants, living in this magical area is every bit as dreamy as you might think – but as it can be tricky for non-residents to purchase property in Switzerland, it’s been difficult for many to truly experience all those Alpine delights.
That’s now changing thanks to The Residences at the Hard Rock Hotel Davos. These stylish, fully furnished apartments allow buyers to soak up the Swiss Alpine lifestyle like never before, in one of the area’s most sought-after towns.
This means you’ll be in the heart of the Alpine action, surrounded by the best and buzziest bit of Davos, but with some of Switzerland’s finest mountains, forests, valleys and lakes also on your doorstep – it’s the very definition of having the best of both worlds.
With all that nature so close by, you’ll definitely want to start exploring the great outdoors, and a 700-kilometre network of hiking trails nearby should help you get acquainted with the landscape. And just to be clear, you’ll find no ‘meh’ hiking routes here – these are trails that transport you into countless hidden havens of tranquillity, putting you face-to-face with some of the best countryside in Switzerland.
For those who prefer traversing through the scenery a little quicker, we hardly need remind you of the area’s gleaming ski (and snowboard) pedigree. Take your pick from 75 kilometres of cross-country ski tracks, as well as eight sledging runs, two skating rinks, and Europe’s largest natural ice rink if you fancy mixing it up. As well as the skiing opportunities within Davos itself, the town is also ideally situated for day-tripping out to other acclaimed resorts, such as St Moritz and Arosa.
It’s easy to see that Davos is a fantastic place to explore, but although you’ll be spending plenty of time out and about, you’ll also be wanting to enjoy your chosen Residence at the Hard Rock Hotel. That won’t be difficult, especially as owners get access to an envy-inducing range of services at the hotel. We’re talking complimentary entry to 800 square metres of wellness paradise in Rock Spa (complete with saunas, steam room, swimming pool, whirlpool and ice fountain, plus signature treatments available), a choice of on-site restaurants and bars (including rooftop bar The 5th, boasting panoramic views across town), 24-hour front desk service, private event spaces for business or leisure… The list goes on.
Perhaps the biggest benefit, though, is the rental programme you’ll reap the benefits of. As an owner of a Hard Rock Hotel Davos Residence, you’ll be able to spend up to eight weeks per year in your apartment (including three weeks during high season for those that want to hit the slopes), with the property generating income for you during the rest of the year, when it’s used by the hotel as a guest suite.
If you want the hard figures, that’s a 60% gross revenue split to owners and a potential 6% annual return, depending on factors such as amount of funds invested and length of usage. And the hotel’s property management service means you have to worry about precisely nothing when you’re not in your apartment, as everything is taken care of for you.
As for the apartments themselves, you’re in for a treat. Designed by acclaimed global architecture studio Woods Bagot, the properties are inspired by classic Alpine décor, but given a thoroughly modern twist. The furniture and fittings are similarly sleek, and you’ll also be able to enjoy a spacious terrace with balcony, because you’re going to be spending a lot of time gazing at those views.
To sum up, there’s a lot on offer here. Find out even more about these unique properties and life in Davos at residencesathrhdavos.com and step into one of the Residences at residencesathrhdavos.com/virtual-tours.
