Hôtel des Horlogers - Vallée de Joux 

Designed in harmony with nature

Architecture shaped by the landscape. Power from the rooftop. Spring water instead of plastic. This hotel was designed to make an impact.

designed for tomorrow
The Minergie-ECO certified building blends with the topography of the Vallée de Joux. 86 photovoltaic panels supply the hotel with electricity. Check-in, menus, and billing are all digital – paperless, silent, and efficient. The architecture follows the land, not the form – always forward-looking.

thinking in cycles
The hotel’s own garden grows herbs and vegetables for the kitchen and spa. Care products come from Jura and Valais – carefully selected with regional love. A refillable spring water system cuts transport emissions. 20 centimes per bottle support the Jura Vaudois nature park.

innovation instead of disposables
Cornstarch straws, wooden combs, thyme pencils, refillable glass bottles – plastic is simply not an option here. Materials are biodegradable, long-lasting, and practical. The design language remains minimalist and refined.

culinary foresight
Three Michelin stars meet alpine seasonality: Emmanuel Renaut’s cuisine is precise, understated, and deeply rooted. He cooks with what the valley provides – locally sourced, respectfully treated, and masterfully prepared.
