Read MoreEvery booking in these properties comes with our bespoke concierge service from the very first contact we have with you at the time of taking the booking, building all the way to your arrival in resort, throughout your stay until the moment that you leave.
Alpine Classic properties are where are exacting standards begin. In many cases the only differentiating factor between Alpine Classic and Alpine Luxe is size. The quality of materials, the interior design and in many cases the available facilities are exceptionally good.
Read MoreServicing an Alpine Classic property requires the same caring attention to detail that a booking in any one of our properties demand. Again, because the properties are in many cases a lot smaller than our Luxe portfolio, they don’t demand the same size of teams, and this is the main criteria that determines the difference between service provision in a Classic or Luxe property.
