Hotel Parsenn in Davos

The Parsenn Hotel is a rather dated-looking property that would clearly benefit from renovation. That said, it enjoys an excellent location in the very heart of Davos, directly opposite the funicular that takes you up to the ski slopes.

The hotel’s overall appearance, décor, and facilities feel somewhat outdated: wall-to-wall carpeting is omnipresent, the elevator is tiny, old, and highly impractical, and the layout of the rooms across multiple floors and mezzanines is rather chaotic. Frequent architectural obstacles—such as staircases connecting different wings and areas of the building—would make this hotel an unviable accommodation option for guests with reduced mobility. In addition, the steps leading to the hotel and the area around the entrance were covered with a slippery layer of snow and ice. This was particularly striking, as snow and ice had been cleared from the entrances of the surrounding buildings. Clearing ice and snow from the hotel entrance strikes me as imperative in order to improve both accessibility and guest safety.

On the plus side, the hotel features a bar-restaurant (which we did not try, as the menu did not appeal to us) and a well-equipped ski storage room, accessible via a staircase leading out to the street.

The hotel features some parking places for guests (not free of charge though).

Our room was spacious and functional, though somewhat uncomfortable due to its sloped attic ceiling, which forced us to duck our heads to avoid hitting them when getting into bed. The bathroom was basic and rather small, as was the shower. The beds were comfortable, although our comfort would have been improved by a single large double mattress instead of two small adjoining ones.

As for the hotel’s dining options, I can only comment on the breakfast, which was quite good and above average. The buffet is not extensive, but perfectly adequate, with very good regional cheeses and (unfortunately) industrial pastries, among other items. Positive highlights included freshly squeezed orange juice and eggs and omelets prepared to order, which were very good. On the downside, one of the jars of Bircher muesli was clearly past its prime. Paying closer attention to expiration dates on food products served at breakfast would be a clear area for improvement in order to avoid potential food safety issues.

Finally, the hotel staff were professional, helpful, and attentive at all times, particularly the reception team.

In summary, the Parsenn Hotel struck me as an outdated property in need of renovation. Nevertheless, it is a convenient option for those coming to Davos to ski, thanks to its unbeatable location, rooms that provide a basic level of comfort, and a breakfast that was genuinely quite good.

Amazing

My wife and I stayed three night s at Hotel Parsenn in December 2025 while we attended a game at the Spengler Cup. We were warmly greeted on Christmas Eve and shown to our room in a very timely manner.
Their breakfast is very substantial with very friendly staff.
The small lounge with fireplace and afternoon soup and treats is a very snugg and a thoughtfully provided after a day of skiing or exploring.
Although we didn't use the on site restaurant, we did look in and it has a very nice atmosphere. The piano player would have made a meal special.
We did frequent the pub which was a real treat. Live DJ. Great service and tasty food.
Basically Family Fopp and their team have created a real home away from home. Comfortable, clean and welcoming.

Loved Family run Hotel Parseen with excellent location, friendly service, clean rooms, great breakfast, and good value — especially popular with skiers in Davos Switzerland 🇨🇭 Snow ❄️ is Wonderful , Visit and Enjoy 😉

Everything was fantastic! The front desk helped us so much. We never could’ve made it without them! The room was very comfortable and quiet and the food was great in all the restaurants.

Fantastic property that is close to everything, but most importantly the ski lifts.

We stayed for two days at the Parsenn Hotel in Davos.
An unforgettable experience!

From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed in the best possible way. In just five minutes, we had our ski passes for the two days, a place to rent skis with a 15% discount, and a covered parking spot for our car.

The room was perfect! Comfortable with exceptionally high-quality bedding.

We also had access to ski lockers secured with our room card.

The restaurant was another great experience. The service was simply flawless! Although we hadn’t made a reservation, they found us a table even though the restaurant was nearly full.

This hotel perfectly combines authenticity, family atmosphere, and modernity.

Thank you so much, as thanks to you, our stay in Davos was a great success!

I was the rustic style is a euphemism of a run down place. BUT this hotel combines the super modern features like bathrooms, double-glazed windows, super comfortable beds with original features, making it incredibly charming and comfortable at the same time. I was also worried that it will be noisy given the hotel is right on the Promenade and in front of the ski-lift station. But they invested in the new windows and the room was super quiet. People at reception and restaurant actually are the family, running it. They get to know you very quick, and always remember your preferences like if you were their friends for years already. The restaurant is very good, and if you order Penne alla Vodka, uou are for a treat and a show. See the video. The hotel has a protected ski-safe vault in the basement that was very convinient. And yes, the Parsenn ski station is just across the road. So it really takes moments to get into the mountains or from the lift to the best apres-ski in town. Loved it.

It is difficult nowadays to find a place able to meet authenticity, atmosphere, good food and personal touch all at once. It is not the case of the Parsenn Stübli in Davos, where welcoming and customer care is the core of the family business run for over a 100 years. I happened to stop in Gada bar, after an intense day of skiing, where i got immediately welcomed with a unique apreski experience (Best spritz in town, and as my muscles required i had a Gada Burger that was simply DIVINE). After a wonderful afternoon spent with skiiers and extreme freeride snowboarders that showed me the best routes, i’ve been convinced to join the dinner at Parsenn’s Stübli. WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!!! Herr Fopp took personally care of me, delivering one of the most authentic experiences i had in my whole life. Maxime, the head waiter, deliver an outstanding service, never letting me in the need of anything. If you ever stop in Davos don’t let this opportunity slip away. A real Davoser experience in the heart of Graübenden
