After several years of renovations, the former Mirabeau Hotel in Crans-Montana is set to reopen. Renamed L’Uciole, the four-star hotel will open on December 1 with 60 rooms, an Italian-inspired restaurant, and a new lounge.

Regular visitors to Crans-Montana will surely remember the Mirabeau, a hotel that has long been a fixture on the Valais resort’s hospitality scene. After several years of renovations, the hotel is set to enjoy a new lease on life under a new name: L’Uciole.

Mountain Spirit

Starting December 1, this new four-star hotel will welcome its first guests in a extensively renovated building, of which only part of the original structure has been preserved. The project aims to blend mountain charm with a more contemporary hospitality experience, featuring 60 rooms and spaces designed for mountain getaways.

On the culinary front, two new dining spots will open. The Altario restaurant will serve Italian-inspired cuisine, while SPICA will offer a lounge with an intimate and cozy atmosphere. Few details have been revealed about the menus yet, but these two spaces are expected to contribute to the venue’s new identity.
