Vals, Switzerland · Independent · High Luxury
The thermal baths at 7132 Hotel were designed in 1996 by Peter Zumthor from 60,000 slabs of local Vals quartzite and were listed as a Swiss heritage monument just two years after completion, a pace of recognition almost without precedent for a modern building. The hotel rooms themselves were conceived by four Pritzker Prize laureates: Zumthor, Tadao Ando, Kengo Kuma, and Thom Mayne.

History
The 7132 campus in Vals centres on Peter Zumthor's 1996 thermal baths, built from 60,000 slabs of local Valser quartzite and listed as a Swiss heritage monument within two years of completion. Under later ownership the site layered further architectural signatures over Zumthor's original vision — including Japanese-inspired 'cocoon' penthouse suites designed by Kengo Kuma and completed in 2014 — an evolution some critics view as diluting the site's singular character.
