ROCK ON DAVOS!

HRH hotel wants you to live like a rock star!

The oldest Swiss ski town, Davos, still battles it out with nearby-rival St Moritz, as the birthplace of skiing holidays, but locals in Davos claim to be the very first as they had the first ski lift – up the Parsenn.

Davos was brought to the attention of the world’s rich holidaymakers in the 1890s by famous  author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and is nowadays internationally renowned as  the home of the World Economic Forum and many other lofty events, but it has kept pace with the young and swinging  and vibrant ski market, because there among a string of famous 5-star old-style residences is the Hard Rock Hotel and Residences, which attracts swinging rock lovers young and old.

The Hard Rock is just a 2-minute stroll from the town’s Congress Hall, where Presidents and world leaders mix with leading bankers and financial movers and shakers, there is plenty to move and shake at the Hard Rock, which likes visitors and guests to live like a rock star.

The entire hotel and its luxury residences are very chic and tastefully decorated with rock memorabilia – and everything from Sting’s guitar, Beatles and Stones mementoes to Lady Ga Ga’s see -through costume - grace the walls as rock music  rolls out sweetly over the hotel sound system.

The 31 serviced apartments at the Hard Rock offer investment and lifestyle opportunities as buyers do not face the usual restrictions on foreign ownership. With prices from  800,000 to 2m Swiss francs, they are sure to attract much interest.   One and two-bedroom apartments range from 60 to 128 square metres, and buyers have VIP access to a suite of first-class amenities within the hotel, which boasts many USPs, including a gourmet restaurant –
