사람들이 좋아하는 이유
- Rooftop infinity pool (indoor) with floor-to-ceiling Alps views
- Historic 'Belle Époque' wing rooms with high ceilings and original detailing
- The Cattani Restaurant's 'Palace Bowl' and local cheese selection
한눈에 보기: It's the only true five-star game in town, so expect high prices and a crowd that wants to be seen, but the hardware absolutely backs it up.
@thekensingtondiary님의 리뷰: I was worried about finding luxury that's actually kid-friendly, but this place nailed it. From the welcome treats to the ski lessons, my son was in heaven, and I actually got to relax. The bouncy castle at dinner is a stroke of genius!

Reality check
The 'Palace' vibe is real, but so are the prices—breakfast and parking add up quickly if not included in your rate.
- You appreciate historic architecture (1905 origins) renovated with modern tech
- You want a full-service ski concierge who handles your gear and passes
- You need a high-end kids' club to distract the little ones while you spa
청결 & 유지관리
9.5
- Housekeeping: Immaculate. Twice-daily service with turndown that includes Swiss chocolates and water.
- Bathroom hygiene: Spotless. Grout is pristine, glass is streak-free. No signs of wear or mold.
- Maintenance: Like new. The 2021 renovation means everything is still functioning perfectly.
- Linens & towels: Heavy, crisp, high-thread-count Egyptian cotton. Towels are oversized and fluffy.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of fresh flowers and a subtle signature 'Bergamot' scent. No mustiness.

“I would love to request a room in the historic 'Belle Époque' wing, ideally a corner room on a higher floor with a view of the Kurpark. We prefer the historic high ceilings over the modern wing layout.”
자주 묻는 질문 및 숨은 팁
예약하기 전에 실제로 알고 싶은 모든 것.
Is breakfast included?
Often yes in package rates, but if booked room-only, expect to pay ~CHF 45 per person. It's an extensive buffet with local cheeses and honeycomb.
Is there a resort fee?
No hidden resort fee, just the standard local city tax (Kurtaxe) of CHF 3.20 per person/night.
How far are the ski lifts?
The Titlis cable car is about a 10-12 minute walk, but the hotel runs a free, frequent shuttle bus during ski season.
Is the pool heated?
Yes, it is an indoor infinity pool with views, but some guests find it a bit cooler than a typical 'hot bath' temperature.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, pets are welcome for a fee of CHF 50 per night. They even get their own bed and bowl.
Is there air conditioning?
Yes, a rarity in the Alps, but the hotel is fully air-conditioned for summer stays.

가기 전에 알아야 할 5가지
💡The spa layout requires walking through a semi-public corridor to get from the pool to the sauna area.
💡The 'Belle Époque' wing and the 'New Wing' are two totally different vibes; specify your preference.
💡The hotel was originally built by the Cattani brothers, who were also architects of the famous Titlis railway.
💡There is a dedicated 'Ski Concierge' who will dry your boots and have them warm for you in the morning.
💡The tap water in the room is fresh Alpine spring water—don't buy bottled.
