We stayed at the Monopol for 3 nights and had wonderful experience!
Front desk was professional and helpful especially when we asked to change to a room that doesn't face the main roundabout downstairs. They did that for us immediately without any difficulty. Although I didn't use the spa service, but we took a tour on the 6/F where the facility is at. It was 10pm and we didn't expect anyone to be there, but there stood a cheerful spa receptionist ready to serve once the elevator door opened, we explained we just wanted to take a look and she was absolutely cheerful and welcoming and still introduced the facilities we could use. I've been to other so-called 5/6* resort where spa services charge in triple or more, but Monopol's service at the spa was exceptional at anytime of the day! Wish I had more time to use next time.
The hotel is conveniently located at the centre of the town, right next to the Burcherer shop. Though the reception area is smaller, but the suite / room is spacious, sufficiently equipped as a solid 4* property. Check out the floorplan pic I shared for the better view rooms, in fact, most rooms have good view, but just watch out for the ones facing the roundaround, which could be noisy for traffic. There were bottles of mineral water and a tasty choco cake prepared as treats in the room before we arrived, of coz all hotels in St. Moritz comes with a price, but little things like these tell you your money was well-spent.
Breakfast was good with many hot / cold items to choose from, again service at the hotel restaurant Grischuna was outstanding, I would share more at the restaurant page, but really want to call out the male server and the older lady server at the restaurant. Their dedication and passion to their jobs are hard to find in many 5* hotel, or in the job market these days. Of all the hotel selections in St. Moritz, I really think Monopol deserves higher ranking than the others (tried out restaurants at other higher-ranked hotel but wasn't sold at all!).
