Hôtel des Horlogers – Where Time, Craft & Nature Greet Hospitality

A retreat in Vallée de Joux, where watchmaking culture, alpine silence, and sustainable style converge into luxury redefined.

In a world accelerating day by day, Hôtel des Horlogers invites you to rediscover the breath in moments where time stretches, nature speaks, and craftsmanship tells its stories.

Hôtel des Horlogers is nestled in the heart of Vallée de Joux, that Swiss region famed as a cradle of haute horlogerie. Here, watches are more than devices—they are artistry, and hospitality follows a delicate tempo: measured, respectful, deeply rooted.

The architecture and interior reflect material and regional affection. Rooms and suites overlook the Risoud forest; materials are drawn from nearby sources. The design feels cozy, refined, and unapologetically authentic—a refuge that radiates warmth without ostentation.

In the kitchen, collaborations with local producers shine. Under Chef Emmanuel Renaut & Executive Chef Alessandro Cannata, regional ingredients become composed, seasonal dishes—authentic yet inventive.

For nature lovers, the Vallée de Joux unfurls behind the hotel: trails through Risoud forest, listening to silence, snowshoeing in winter, biking in summer, or just the dawn light over tree and mountain. The Spa by Alpeor offers pauses: sauna, hammam, sensory showers—spaces of rest and regeneration.

Here, as guest, you feel: time is not demand; time is a gift.
