The hype
Reviewers universally worship the location and the breakfast staff, but many are baffled by the extra fees.
Postresidenz am See
$450-750 / noć
Rezerviraj ovo ako You want the absolute best location in Arosa (steps from the train and gondola) and don't mind paying extra for the privilege.
Zašto Ljudima Se Sviđa
- Unbeatable location right next to the Arosa train station and Weisshorn gondola
- Stunning views of the Obersee lake from the south-facing rooms
- High-end wellness area with a steam room and whirlpool that actually feels luxurious
Brzi pregled: A polished, expensive basecamp that charges you rent-level prices for using the kitchenette in your 'apartment'.
Pregledano od @pilotmadeleine: I felt like I was living in a winter fairytale here. Waking up to the snowy peaks of Arosa right from my bed was unreal. I spent my days skiing and my evenings unwinding in that gorgeous spa. It’s the ultimate Swiss luxury escape.

Reality check
You are paying for the address; the rooms are modern and clean but can feel cramped if you don't splurge on a suite.
- You arrive by train and want to be in your room 2 minutes after stepping off the platform
- You prioritize a modern, high-tech spa experience over old-school Swiss charm
- You are a skier who wants true ski-in/ski-out convenience via the Tschuggen-Ost lift

Prije nego što rezervirate

- The hotel is connected to the 'Luftpost' restaurant, which is solid but pricey.
Što trebate pakirati
- Earplugs (essential if you book a Street View room)
- Swimsuit for the wellness area (sauna is textile-free in many Swiss hotels, but check specific rules here)
- Hiking boots (trails start literally at the doorstep)

FAQ & Skriveni savjeti
Sve što zaista trebate znati prije nego što rezervirate.
Is the kitchen free to use?

Is breakfast included?

Is there a pool?
There is a wellness area with a large whirlpool/jacuzzi and steam rooms, but not a full-sized swimming lap pool.

Extremely close. The Tschuggen-Ost lift is practically next door, and the Weisshorn gondola is a 2-minute walk.
Is it pet friendly?
Yes, dogs are welcome for CHF 30 per night, and they provide a basket and bowl.
Does the hotel have air conditioning?
Like most Alpine hotels, no. But at 1,800m altitude, opening the balcony door is usually sufficient.

5 stvari koje trebate znati prije nego što dođete
💡The 'kitchen fee' is strictly enforced—don't try to sneak a pasta night.
💡The spa has 'family hours' (4pm-6pm), so avoid that window if you want peace.
💡You can rent an umbrella for CHF 18 if you lose yours (another odd fee).
💡The tap water is fresh Alpine spring water—drink it, don't buy bottled.
💡The hotel is technically 'ski-in' but 'ski-out' requires a short walk to the gondola if the snow cover is low on the street.
