Having rejected the Dairy ‘Boutique’ hotel, our travel agent managed to transfer us to the St Moritz for 4 nights and our experience was largely favourable. We had a suite on the 6th floor which was spacious, quiet, impeccably looked after although the window (with great lake views) was on the small side. The service was generally good, the buffet breakfast ample and tasty, with superb cakes, and daily newspapers, a hot tub in the garden, and a location close to town made for an enjoyable stay. We did have a few quibbles. Yes the walk back from town is steep, the lower rooms could be obstructed by buildings in front, and you do not want to be on the rear of the building which simply has a wall view. The hotel entrance, down a dark walled driveway, is unprepossessing, and we never worked out why a few guests were offered waitress service for breakfast with a menu we never saw. Not that it mattered!

Room 333 was spacious and very comfortable. Loved the 'pillow menu' and the bed was terrific. Big walk in shower and all the various goodies including a well stocked mini bar (not used) and bath robes (not touched).Day one afforded a snack in the evening of a bottled beer ($9) and a plate of cerviche ($12). Only minor niggle was the over crowded breakfast and terrible coffee quality which did not dent the overall excellent impression. The walk down into town is a steep hill so take care (and time) on the return trip.

Omg what a lovely hotel. Rooms are big and well served but the views!!! Omg!!!!! The lake, the mountains and the rain!! Ignore the rain comment we were unlucky. The restaurant and common areas of the hotel are really well furnished and it all felt really comfortable. Only down side was car parking charge $35 pn!!!!
