I stayed in January in this magnificent hotel. This structure is certainly one of the most beautiful historic hotels in Switzerland. The common areas have retained the charm of the golden age of travl. The staff is friendly and very helpful in all areas of the hotel. The room, a Junior Suite, was perfect. Very spacious, tastefully furnished and certainly in line with what can be expected from a 5-star hotel. Very pleasant SPA with simply magnificent outdoor pool. In my opinion, breakfast is another great strength of the hotel: great choice with many regional products. I think it is important to find local regional products in hotels. There is also a shuttle service to the village of Flims and to the ski lifts. The Caumasee can easily be reached on foot. A real 5 star in one of the most beautiful regions of Switzerland. Absolutely recommended.

“Very enjoyable stay. Great staff, beautiful location, superb breakfasts.”

We spent three nights here in early October 2022, three of us travelling from England with the fourth family member a resident of Switzerland. We had been a bit concerned having seen the film Youth, filmed here on location, where the hotel came across as a bit grim, but we need not have worried! It was very comfortable, the staff were without exception friendly and helpful, and although it was not cheap we felt it was fair pricing for what was on offer. (The parking seemed expensive for what it was, but that was relatively minor in the grand scheme of things.) Early October was low season, and some of the restaurants were closed. We did not particularly rate the off-site (but hotel-recommended) Pomodoro Italian, and if we had had our time again we would have gone elsewhere in the village. However, the hotel itself has a good bar and the breakfasts were really superb. We enjoyed many of the other facilities on offer, including the spa with its indoor and outdoor pools, sauna, steam room, etc. Also the grand piano, the pool table and other various things to do. Free coffees and other drinks (tea, water) are always available, both in the rooms and all around the hotel. Many reviews comment on how they were upgraded to better rooms. That did not happen to us, but as we were four adults (married couple, brother-in-law, adult son), we were given two adjoining rooms with a connecting door, which worked very well for us. The mattresses were on the soft side for our taste, but the room was otherwise perfect for our needs with free mini bar (not including alcohol), TV, safe, tables, chairs, and so on. The rooms and all other areas of the hotel were spotlessly clean. I always feel that running a hotel must be a nightmare job, but they have really got it to a fine art here. The staff never overwhelmed us but were always on hand if needed, and there were lots of nice little touches that made our stay thoroughly enjoyable. We were lucky that the weather was superb for our stay here, and we really enjoyed some of the local scenery, both on foot and in our car. One small detail is that I like to charge my phone overnight, but also have it by the bed to check the time if waking up. The charging area was across the room. Again, though, that is minor in the overall context.
