Reviews
overall an amazing experience, definitely recommended!
This luxurious hotel is a slice of paradise on Lake St Moritz. The rooms are elegant, spacious, and clean. Great breakfast spread with stunning views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Recommended
The only downside is that the hotel is situated on a hill, so walking uphill might be tiring, especially if you have a lot of luggage. However, the view from the hotel is absolutely stunning – truly breathtaking.
The service and assistance were excellent. The breakfast offered a wide variety of choices and was of good quality. There were also Thai-speaking staff members overseeing the dining area.
It's quite expensive.
Halal food should be provided because there are many Muslim visitors.
The breakfast table has been booked for someone else, we ourselves didn't know there was a reservation like that until we finished eating, no one filled the reservation table, it would be better if whoever comes first can choose the dining table. Because it's a waste to reserve but other visitors are disadvantaged.
There's no sidewalk leading to the entrance, so there's a steep slope where you have to walk alongside the car, which can be quite dangerous.
The room was clean and tidy, with a window facing the lake.
The bathroom had a heated towel rack and provided some disposable toiletries like conditioner, a shower cap, and soap (I brought my own toiletries, so I didn't unpack them, so I'm not sure if they included a toothbrush or toothpaste).
The entire hotel had a wood-like smell, which I personally didn't like.
The pictures were taken in the parking lot at the entrance.
