Concept and Design
Designed primarily by Melbourne’s BAR studio in conjunction with Nikken Sekkei and Fujita Corporation as a stylish year-round mountain escape, the hotel is surrounded by pristine wilderness underscored by a sense of calm, matched with the signature sophistication of the Park Hyatt brand.
