What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Find a modern Alpine-style in the ‘Alpenchic’, ‘Nostalchic’ (here a touch more elegant) or ‘Budget’ (smaller and cheaper) rooms.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The front doors open onto central Voa Principala, with village shops and the regional ski shuttle right outside.
The rooms
Alpenchic rooms place bathtubs behind translucent larch wood screens, and wide balconies look out toward the surrounding peaks.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
The indoor pool warms to 32 degrees beneath vaulted ceilings, and an outdoor saltwater pool sits on the timber deck.
The hammam and saunas
Herbal steam baths warm the 450-square-meter hammam, and an 85-degree Finnish sauna looks out through a picture window.
The gym
Technogym cardio machines and cable stations line the dark wood gym, and spinning bikes move to the courtyard in summer.
At the table
The restaurants serve regional Grisons fare across stone pine dining rooms, and the bar pours an all-Swiss spirits list.
How it began
Franz Brenn acquired the bankrupt hotel in 1906, establishing a private dairy farm to supply guests with fresh mountain cheese.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
