Though the exchange rate between the Swiss Franc and the U.S. Dollar is favorable only to astute currency traders (and of course, the Swiss), the expense of a few days at the Waldhaus is worth every penny. It's the price of admission, but rather like an intoxicated night in a disco, once you're inside you forget how much you paid... more

The Waldhaus is a reminder of another world. It stands for the upper hotel culture of the early 20th century. The family, running the Waldhaus in fourth generation, preserves that spirit, tradition and taste to the present day. This means the direction of a hotel with a genuine character rather than just another polished and soulless 5*. You may miss... more

The Waldhaus is an institution. My Fiancee went there 15 years before and she said something not surprising to me : "nothing has changed". Nothing change here, as the Waldhaus is a mature business. A family hotel, classy, old fashioned, with some real charm, a charm belonging to the past. The furniture, the atmosphere, you can't say you are in... more

The Waldhaus is a once in a lifetime experience. Situated in the lovely Engadin region, it sits atop a mount in the Sils Maria valley, a spot beloved by Neitzche and Italian designers alike.Regarded as the most beautiful spot in the world, Sils sits between two lakes, and overlooks a plain of hiking trails and a penisula that juts out... more

The Waldhaus has the feeling of a sanatorium - a relic of the pre-war era that has seen better days. The furnishings in the lounge are reminiscent of a nursing home. Opulent it is not. The views should be wonderful but are disappointing - it is situated on a high promontory between two lakes in the Engadin Valley but none... more

Gives a lovely, but expensive view, in the foothills above St. Moritz. However, for about US$500 per night, I did not expect 1) the hotel would demand US$3 for a newspaper when there was no warning that it was not complimentary 2) I did not expect the luggage wouuld take more than 2 hours to reach the room 3) there... more

Situated in Sils Maria the hotel is about 5 minutes by car from St. Moritz . On top of a hill overlooking the lake. My family and i travel quite a bit and i must say this hotel is the friendliest i have ever been to , At our arrivel we were met by Mrs. Maria one of the owners... more

We've wanted to stay at this hotel for many years after seeing their ads in the New Yorker magazine and fantasizing about the "children's nursery" when our kids were little and we needed a break. What a fabulous hotel, staff and location. Of four hotels on our recent trip to Switzerland, the Waldhaus was our favorite. The hotel is perched... more

My husband and I stumbled across the hotel and were drawn to it by it's castle-like appearance above Sils-Maria. It's not inexpensive and our room was small (there are larger, we just chose one on the lower end of the scale), but other than those minor points, it was one of the best hotels I've ever experienced. It's family run... more
