“This historic building, a member of Swiss Historic Hotels, resides in what many call the Engadine's loveliest village and distinguishes itself through traditional Swiss decor and a focus on regional Grisons cuisine. I found the family-friendly accommodations and convenient location, near the train station and ski lifts, particularly appealing; also of note is the impressive wine list featuring Swiss selections and international rarities. A top consideration for those drawn to culturally rich stays.”
