You arrive in La Chaux-de-Fonds by CFF train. Five minutes later, you turn the key in a lift that serves only you. It stops on the top floor. The door opens onto 180 m² of 19th-century attic loft — your 180 m² for the nights to come.
We refused the Airbnb mindset. No IKEA furniture, no off-the-shelf kitchen. Miele kitchen, brushed stainless worktop, travertine floor. Four bedrooms designed like five-star hotel rooms, each with its bathroom carved from a rare stone: Labrador Bleu, Amazonite Verde, Ceppo brown.
You're eight, or three, or six. You cook, or you head down to the Brasserie Hôtel de Ville. You open the skylights onto the UNESCO-listed rooftops. You quickly understand: this is the address, and it's all yours.
