We loved our stay here. The hotel was beautiful and the amenities were fantastic. It has the feel of a classic upscale ski lodge. The hot tub and wellness room made you feel really pampered. The restaurant was amazing for both dinner and a very expansive brunch. I would 100% recommend this facility.

Nice hotel with a stunning view on the Glacier

New hotel, vert well licates close to the glacier with nice views. The room are nice, beds are comfortable and the bathroom is good with lot of space and a nice shower. The lounge is really nice as well, to have a drink with the view and the restaurant upstairs benefits from the same view and quality food and good service.

Love this hotel

Very nice modern hotel in an amazing area, near a glacier lagoon, with outstanding views. The outdoor area has a sauna and jacuzzi's with these great views, and a cold pool to cool down. The restaurant provides top notch buffet breakfast and fancy dinners. I also like the bar area. The rooms are modern, very comfortable, and super clean. Definitely worth the price, even though it's quite expensive.

The rooms are beautiful and spacious and comfy. The staff is exemplary. The hot tub sauna scene is awesome, the lounging areas are amazing. The shared spaces are stunning. But this hotel has a ways to go to be truly worth the money. The food is only so-so. I had a vegetarian dish that was flat out not good (the nut steak) although our waiter Alex was AMAZING. And dinner was $$$. My husband’s fish was only so-so also. You need a much better chef or lower prices. I expected one of the best meals of my life and was very disappointed. We had cheese sandwiches from along the road the other two nights rather than waste our money at the restaurant! In the rooms work is needed as well. The temperature control is unworkable, the light switches are literally impossible to figure out, there are NO hooks for anything, and there is no refrigerator! For THAT PRICE?!?!? I loved this hotel and I was very disappointed by a few key things. And we stayed 3 nights. It was a LOT of money. I expected an exemplary experience, which is completely within reach. Especially with such amazing amazing staff.

Not worth the money

Wir hätten mehr für rund 610 CHF pro Nacht erwartet und da war nicht mal Frühstück dabei! Es begann schon mit dem Check-in, der sehr umständlich war. Dann bekamen wir ein kleines Zimmer im Erdgeschoss neben der Küche. Wegen der Lüftung konnte man die Fenster nicht aufmachen und es war laut. Das Alternative Zimmer war mit Blick auf den Parkplatz, so blieben wir im Zimmer mit Einem schmalen Blick ins Grüne. Das kleine Wellness Angebot, Hotpot und Sauna, war überfüllt. Einzig das Bar Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Lage ist gut, aber da es neblig war sahen wir nicht viel von de Landschaft. Preis Leistung hat für uns nicht gepasst. Würde diese Unterkunft nicht mehr wählen
