Perched in the Swiss Alps resort town of Adelboden, The Brecon reimagined by Amsterdam-based Nicemakers embodies timeless elegance and understated luxury. Originally built in 1914 the hotel flourished as a vibrant social hub in the mid-20th century. Recent renovations honour its mid-century roots, blending sixties and seventies aesthetics with contemporary comfort across 18 rooms and four suites. Guests enjoy earthy tones, natural textures and brutalist details, with breathtaking views of the Adelboden Massif. Each space combines curated vintage furnishings, European collectibles and art from Amsterdam’s Bisou gallery.

I am having a tough time wrapping my brain around this being a “entertainment barn” and not the actual residence. I’d be entertaining the crap out of this space if it were mine. The kitchen is perfectly dark and dreamy and I’d enjoy the best naps up on those second level bed nooks. Rumson barn in coastal New Jersey designed by Ursino Interiors.
