“So wonderful!”

Reviewed April 29, 2013

It is always a treat to come here. (My favorite restaurant - La Salle - was closed for remodeling during April, so I kept my stay short for now.) It was a misty day, but the clouds cleared just as we pulled up to showcase the mountains, before closing in again. Due to the new spa construction and the off-season,... More

“Disappointing”

Reviewed April 28, 2013 via mobile

From the backhoe working noisily beneath our window to a subpar dinner at Vidalia (the Italian restaurant on the premises), this was a disappointing relaxation effort. Room was nothing special, a bit small and dank. For a normal hotel experience, ok, but at these prices? Never again. My advice is to go check it out if you can to make... More

Dear Kim B, Thank you for the review, however I must clarify to other readers that the backhoe working that you describe under your room had nothing to do with the construction over 200 meters away. The truth of the matter is that we had an unexpected pipe break and had to fix it immediately on a Saturday (obviously it... More

“Genuine, understated but luxurious destination... a rarity in these times of 'bling'!!”

Reviewed April 18, 2013

This is truly a splendid and relaxing, luxurious retreat! The setting is postcard picture-perfect but most importantly, the people who work here made it joyous and reassuringly back to the spirit of humanity. Senior staff worked alongside the young, enthusiastic and charming staff (Marleen, Sabrina.

“And the band played on....”

Reviewed April 8, 2013

A picture postcard! Beautiful....everything is 100% As a musician I was fortunate enough to play there and spent 5 days be pampered! You really can't fault it. The history of the hotel is amazing in itself. Only 100 km south of Munich and a heady 1000m above sea-level, I guess from the pictures it's an amazing ski-resort too, although we... More

“Among the best hotels I have ever seen”

Reviewed December 20, 2012

Beautiful scenery, immaculate service, great food. Beautiful rooms. Everything from reservation to departure worked extremely smooth, staff are highly competent and friendly, in a discreet, charming way. Among all the places I stayed, it is this one and Six Senses Zighy Bay that left nothing at all to wish for.

Dear mara_torres, I am so glad that we are able to receive praise from a return guest like yourself and that you fell so strongly about us.
