Skiing
is the favorite amateur sport of the moneyed set so it's no surprise
that ski accommodation around the world is catering to the
sophisticated aesthetic tastes of the type of people who know their
Eames chairs from their Philippe Starck interiors.
Of course
those with real cash don't rent, they own their own chalets, which has
given rise to several stunning alpine villages around the world full of
luxury architecturally designed dwellings.
Australia
is home to
three such luxury resorts - Mount Buller, Falls Creek and Mount Hotham,
where luxury apartments boast the superior design and services of a
world-class hotel.
The latest development is The Saints at all three of the above resorts, the latest venture for Zacamoco, the developers of Huski in Falls Creek.
The Saints luxury apartments feature hot tubs and heated outdoor
entertaining areas. Other city-like indulgence services include a
Turkish style hammam, sauna, massage, in room dining and 24 hour
reception. Prices start from (AUS)$415,000 for a 1 bedroom 1 bathroom
apartment, $525,000 for a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment and $585,000
for a 3 bedroom 3 bathroom apartment.
Mount
Hotham has always been considered a skier's mountain, offering the best
fall-line skiing in Australia and boasts the nation's only alpine
airport.
Designed for those select few who aim the highest,Bale Mount Hotham will
comprise 41 òsky homes' together with a bar, restaurant and cafe,
mountain view pool and day spa, all housed in a modernist
indoor/outdoor structure located in the heart of Hotham village,
offering the ultimate ski in / ski out experience. The one, two, three
and five-bedroom sky homes, priced from $AUD1.5 million to $AUD7.5
million for the penthouse (which is already sold), set new property
price benchmarks in the snowfields. Buyers have come from around
Australia, Europe and the United States. by Billy T
