“A 5-star, family-friendly, mountain retreat in Sils-Maria dating back to 1908. Boasting decor that blends 20th-century elegance with a homely warmth, it’s a living museum of modern design. An indoor pool, gourmet dining at Arvenstube, and romantic terraces with every room await. An indulgent escape.”

Hotel Review
Perched high above the charming village of Sils-Maria, the Waldhaus Hotel is a beacon of tranquility and history in the Swiss Alps.
This 5-star haven, just a stone's throw from the lively St. Moritz, marries the luxury of modern amenities with the allure of a bygone era, a balance perfectly encapsulated by its century-old family ownership and thoughtful design. The hotel's exterior, a grandiose vision of traditional architecture, offers a prelude to the treasures within. The interior, a homage to 20th-century design, feels less like a hotel and more like a journey through a living, breathing museum. Opting for a room with a balcony here is non-negotiable. To say the views are breathtaking would be an understatement - with panoramic scenes of the Engadine and Lake Sils unfolding below. The Arvenstube restaurant, with its romantic terrace and view that stretches into eternity, offers a culinary journey through the Alps. The cuisine is a revelation, particularly the evening consommé variations, each a delicate testament to the richness of local produce and culinary tradition.
Guests are encouraged to embrace the outdoors, whether it’s a friendly match on the hotel’s clay tennis courts, a complimentary motorboat excursion on Silsersee Lake, or a trek through the valleys and mountains that have inspired poets and philosophers alike.
