Chalet Eugenia

The Chalet Eugenia is a chalet in Klosters and has been used by the British Royal Family for over three decades.History & backgroundChalet Eugenia was originally built after World War II and was officially completed in 1958 by the late Baroness Thyssen-Bornemisza of the Thyssen family. It was subsequently kept within the Bentinck family until 2012, after which point it was sold for an undisclosed sum to Swiss entrepreneur and philanthropist, Rolf Theiler.Style & interiorThe Chalet's grandeur and majestic attributes are from the era of the 1950s which have been kept intact by the Bentinck family. The interior design has an opulence of European blend and serene Swiss alpine decadence. The main drawing room consists of a central pillared stone log fireplace leading onto an oak beamed and panelled dining room. The second dining room is equipped with the original wood fired oven with an en suite panelled study. Most rooms have their own balconies and terraces with panoramic southerly views of the Gotschna mountainous region. In 2006 Tom Robbins wrote; The master suite occupies an entire floor and boasts uninterrupted 180° views over empty snow clad fields to the summit of the Gotschna. The Chalet itself is located in a prime position overlooking the village of Klosters. In 2010 Harper's Bazaar wrote; Journey time from the property to the centre is a two-minute drive, alternatively it has direct 'ski in & ski out' access. It is also extremely private with its own gated driveway guarded by stone lions and several acres of open space between it and the nearest chalets to the south.
