The Ultima Collection has announced the expansion of its portfolio of luxury hotels and private residences with a series of three new openings scheduled for 2019. The expansion follows in the wake of the success of its flagship property, Ultima Gstaad, which opened in December 2016, succeeded by the first private residence, Ultima Crans Montana, which opened in December 2018.

The Ultima concept, pioneered by entrepreneurs Byron Baciocchi and Max-Hervé George, celebrates the art of private living, offering guests the privacy of a chalet experience with the five-star, personalised service associated with a hotel.

This September sees the official opening of Ultima Geneva, the brand’s new city retreat available for private hire. Nestled just 20 minutes away from the airport, this contemporary villa style property boasts a total of seven suites, a rooftop terrace, a family cinema, a spa swimming pool and fitness room.

Recently opened, the new private residence, Ultima Megève is spread across two-ultra luxury chalets situated in a picturesque one-hectare park. The property can host up to 18 guests, and boasts the top-class facilities synonymous with the Ultima brand, including a spa with a hammam, massage rooms, fitness equipment, a wine cellar, a cinema and night club.

Comprising of 13 private chalets, Ultima Courchevel is situated in the Belvédère neighbourhood and will be open to guests from December this year. Each of the individual chalets feature four master suites and are complete with their very own private concierge service.
