Schatzalp Snow & Mountain Resort

I stayed here for just 24 hours in order to rest and get some work cleared. This hotel is a rarity in a world which measures hotel 'excellence' very uniformly (a certain style with facilities provided in a certain way). What I mean is that this hotel has its very own, unique character. A former TB sanatorium, the clocks used to organise patients' days still illuminate the corridors. The original sinks still feature in the en suite bathrooms. The same heating system is used, the lifts are unchanged. Bookcases containing volumes once lent to patients wanting to while away the months on end up in the mountains in the hope of recovery, line the corridors of the third floor. The former hospital ward on the second floor still boasts the call system. The building is frozen in time yet extremely comfortable. The combined effect of this is one that is ultimately very relaxing; you forget the hustle and bustle and demands of life 'down below'. Deliciously prepared food, a vast space and quiet spacious rooms help the process. And, if the temptations of life down below become too much, excellent free wifi is available across the site. And, if you're determined to measure the hotel through a modern prism, a wonderful new sauna/spa area can be found on the ground floor. I couldn't recommend this place more highly and suggest you go as this space does not do it justice!

Vidunderligt vackert hotell! Både sommar och vinter.

Spændende gammel klassisk hotel med super restauranter, fantastisk udsigt og rigtig god service.

The location is great – you cannot get a better view in Davos. But the facilities are not that great. The rooms are old (they are plain old, not antiques nor historical nor charming). In my opinion, this hotel is overpriced.

Toen ik dit boekte is mij niet opgevallen dat op 1860 mtr hoogte het hotel alleen met een privé treintje of te voet te bereiken is, ook niet dat ik mij in het dorp aan het loket van dit treintje moet aanmelden, daar een toegangsbewijs naar boven verstrekt krijg en mijn koffers kan achterlaten om vervolgens na betalen van borg twee straten verderop mijn auto in een parkeer garage kan neerzetten. Het hotel ziet er erg gedateerd uit, een likje verf aan de buitenkant kan geen kwaad. Het eerste wat mij opvalt in de slaapkamer , geen tv of ijskast en een matras die mijn gewicht niet meer aan kan oftewel versleten is. De douche wc heeft geen gordijn dus vanaf de straat ziet een passant je zitten of staan , ben 60 jr. dus zoveel is er niet meer te zien maar toch. Het ontbijt is in weekend tot 10 uur doordeweeks tot 9 uur. Het assortiment is redelijk , wordt verder niet aangevuld en om mij om klokslag 9 uur te komen zeggen dat ze gaan opruimen, niet echt tactvol.

Tremendous location. Very pleasent staff. lovely bright big airy rooms, only spoilt by poor beds and mattresses.

Friendly, warm , efficient service. Went the extra mile I had hurt my ankle running the Swiss Alpine Marathon, gladly provided plenty of ice for my ankle. Unparalleled views of the Alps, breathtaking setting.

Great for hiking relax VG breakfast VG wellness Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I loved the surroundings and the hotel is absolutely stunning. I loved that everything is authentic and the hotel has a lot of history. The breakfast was great and the view from the dining hall was lovely. However there were two cats living in the hotel when I stayed there! I thought it was unusual and charming but unfortunately I'm also allergic to cats.
