The Hôtel des Horlogers is a new hotel located next to the Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet in the Vallée de Joux. The hotel is designed to blend seamlessly into the surrounding landscape, with five zig-zagging room slabs that lead to the museum and local ski trails. Inside, a sloping corridor connects the rooms and facilitates visitor and service circulation. The hotel’s amenities, including two restaurants, a bar, a spa, and a conference center, are located under the inclined slabs and offer views of the surrounding landscape. From the main access road, the hotel’s tilting slabs frame views of the valley, creating a connection between the village and the pastoral landscape.
