What it’s good at

Alpine timber panelling frames rock memorabilia displayed throughout the public corridors and lounges.
Right in the middle

In Davos Platz, a short walk from the promenade and the Schatzalp funicular.
The rooms
Rooms are simple and modern. Guests can have record players and vinyl albums delivered right to the door.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Hydrotherapy massage jets and an integrated whirlpool line the indoor pool, surrounded by slate floors and loungers.
The spa
Acoustic transducers embedded in the massage tables send rhythmic bass vibrations directly through the body during treatments.
The saunas and gym
Tiered timber benches fill the Finnish and bio saunas, and the purple-lit gym holds Technogym cardio machines.
Sessions Restaurant
The kitchen serves Swiss regional dishes alongside classic burgers, and fire pits warm the outdoor terrace in winter.
At the table
Bartenders mix cocktails and pour craft beers at GMT+1, and outdoor tables catch the sun under red parasols.
How it began
Dr. Alexander Spengler opened the clinic in 1882 for open-air cures, pioneering the climate therapy that turned Davos into a health resort.
