In the village of Adelboden in Switzerland, Amsterdam-based Nicemakers has transformed the interiors of The Brecon, a hundred-year-old chalet, into a secluded retreat.
The intention for the 18-room chalet, called The Brecon, was for it to be "like a high-end version of your own home," Nicemakers head of design Lottie Lorenzetti told Dezeen. The studio wanted the hotel rooms to feel like guest rooms in someone's home.

"We set out from the very beginning with the intention of not creating another clean, minimal, Swiss hotel aesthetic," Lorenzetti added.
The client, hotel operator Grant Maunder, wanted to create "a hideaway which feels like a dream home". Across the common spaces, 18 rooms and four suites of the boutique hotel, Nicemakers worked with Maunder to fulfil the brief by creating a series of intimate and characterful interiors with a domestic feel.
On entry through a bespoke wooden revolving door, the open-plan lounge space progresses into dining and living areas, featuring a sofa tucked away in a secluded nook.
