Carina is not a classic hotel. It is a retreat for people who want to find themselves again between mountains and silence. A place that does not impose, but invites. For some, it is the design. For others, the calm. For many, it is simply the feeling of being in the right place at the right time.
Carina is shaped by values, not by trends. For us, it is about real encounters, about acting sustainably and about hospitality built on trust rather than formality. Simplicity is not a compromise, but a choice. A choice for clarity, for quality, for what lasts. We believe that good design and genuine warmth are not contradictions, but belong together.
The Carina Spirit is not loud, not trendy. It has grown naturally. Out of a moment in winter 2018, when architects and friends gathered in a snowbound Zermatt.
The architecture and interiors at Carina are deliberately reduced, without being cold. Materials such as wood, stone, textiles and metal speak of origin and permanence. It is not about show, but about substance. Our spaces speak in clear lines, but with a gentle voice. What you see and feel here is the result of respect – for space, for light, for people.
At Carina you will find spaces designed for togetherness. The lounge with its fireplace, the long dining table, the cosy corner by the bookshelf. Conversations arise here simply because the space allows them. And sometimes silence arises instead. Both are welcome. Both are valuable.
We work with people from the region. With producers who don’t work for the market, but for people. Their products and stories are part of Carina. Because we believe that hospitality also means responsibility.
