Wow, what a pleasant surprise. Looking to book a 5 star hotel for New Year's getaway with the gf but couldn't find any available. We had to "settle" for this one as it's one of the top ranked on tripadvisor even though it wasn't a 5 star hotel I originally wanted. This hotel exceeded all my expectations and more! It had the amenity, facility and service of any great 5 star hotels!
We booked in late November so only a double room was available. The whole hotel and the room was tastefully decorated. It had the ski lodge feel yet everything was modern and updated. Best of all is the hotel staff, they were all amazing, service with a huge smile all the time, nothing was too much trouble. The best staff is Arnold, who works in the restaurant for breakfast, dinner and help at the lounge at night. This guy don't need any sleep and always great service.
A few issues....when booking massage, if you like deep tissue massage, make sure you tell the spa manager to arrange someone with strong hands. The pillows in the room was unacceptable!! WAY too soft, sleeping on my puffy jacket was better than stacking 5 pillows. If the hotel read this review...PLEASE CHANGE YOUR PILLOW! It's really unacceptable as it's extremely uncomfortable. I suggest travelers bring their own pillows.
The spa facility was great, two sauna with different temperature and a steam room. Small swimming pool but never crowded. Spa manager Daniela was great! Very few massage rooms so book your massage therapy early.
Some people here complained about the location of the hotel, I didn't find it bad at all. It was a easy 10 minute walk to Hannenkenbahn gondola and to the center of the village.
Lastly...I was expecting to go on a ski trip, not a winter fashion show! I was so under dressed as I only brought all my thermal wear and everyone at the hotel was fabulous in their Louboutin, Chanel and all.
