Firstly the Kulm in Arosa isn't cheap but it is really really good. This 5 star hotel offers a real 5 star experience .We spent christmas here and the Kulm just simply excels at what it does . Warm welcome , great restaurants , good bar , very pleasant rooms although the rooms are not really the main reason for the "brilliant " classification . So lets spell it out a little , we booked some months in advance and stated we would arrive by train from zurich at 1609 . The Kulm said they would send there driver to meet us. No reminders , no prompting there he was as we got off the train. Great start but from there it just got better. Reception minimal fuss quick. pool spa area truly special. Thai restaurant brilliant, Italian Stube restaurant Brilliant , Tavern restaurant bar brilliant , breakfast brilliant . so i guess you can pick up that we enjoyed the food and there were two more restaurants we didn't try . Then there was the Christmas carols by the staff on christmas eve out on the terrace with mulled wine , a nice duo playing in the bar , the santa sacks on the bedroom doors on christmas day , Add to that a really easy 100 yard trip to the 1st ski lift in the morning and a virtual ski back to the door position. Not finished yet , on departure the concierge checked us in for our flight back to London gave us our boarding passes and sent our bags ahead all the way to London where we picked them up on arrival. All in a very memorable Christmas can't wait to do it again and we shall. If you can accept that this all comes with a price to match then go for it its " Simply Brilliant"
