Who invented it? Switzerland. You don’t have to fly halfway around the world to enjoy an extraordinary vacation. In 2021, the Adula Hotel in Flims came up with an idea that is as smart as it is charming and will immediately flirt its way onto any travel bucket list: Deluxe glamping in a bubble including a jacuzzi, on a terrace with an unobstructed view of the stars. A cozy alpine hut has been there since winter 2024. It’s called the 1001 Steilas Suite and looks like this – check!

Small idea, big effect
When it comes to travel, I always prefer the anonymous huge hotel bunkers to the smaller, if possible owner-managed hotels, where I firstly hardly have to worry about getting lost, but you just always get an idea of what the hosts want to stand for with their vision, you can also talk to them, and then tell these stories here on the blog. When I stumbled across this new accommodation idea, I really had to give a standing ovation inside. I like it when new things are tried out, when crazier ideas are implemented, and when it becomes as smart as charming as the 1001 Steilas Suite at the Adula Hotel in Switzerland, then it tickles my bucket list.

In addition, the hotel has a terrace in the annex. Alpine architectural style, mountain view, so far nothing unusual, right?


But with snow around it, and so much space: couldn’t you make something cool out of it?
Chill with a view: 1001 Steilas Suite at Adula Hotel
Yes, you can make something out of such a supposedly simple terrace, the team at the Adula Hotel thought, and transformed the space into a suite. But not an ordinary one: Where there used to be a transparent heated bubble with a 360-degree view of the stars just for you, guests can now expect an alpine design hut, tailor-made for couples with romantic rock’n’roll on the expectation playlist. Because the 1001 Steilas Suite can be booked privately – so it’s just for you. A unique place for classy togetherness, and it’s Instagram-ready anyway. Want a little insight – or view?


Jacuzzi is also available? Yes, you have seen correctly. Despite the extraordinary outdoor experience, you don’t have to do without comfort. The unusual suite in the Hotel Adula is reminiscent of a kind of wooden-roofed Venetian gondola in XXL format, offering everything you need for terrace glamping, from a cozy bed, cozx designer furniture and fabrics to charming decorations. Stylish open-air bathtub included.

Cozy and unique: the sleeping experience in the 1001 Steilas Suite.
Lounge furniture meets Jacuzzi and of course: the panoramic views.


Lounge with a view.
