We have been returning to this family-run hotel for over seven years, and each time feels just as special as the last. The atmosphere is so welcoming, with attentive staff who truly go above and beyond, ensuring each guest feels at home. The dining options are delightful, showcasing both local and international cuisine.

This family-run hotel in Graechen offers an incredible experience with its welcoming atmosphere and attentive service. The food is exceptional, including a diverse dinner menu that features local wines. However, the dining options could be expanded further to enhance the experience for all guests. The wellness facilities are a lovely addition to unwind after skiing, but I wish the sauna could be a bit more spacious for peak times.
