9.2/10 Wonderful! (220 reviews)
A++++ location, breakfast and comfort. Only thing is just note that the “hot tub” is literally a bathroom style hot tub jacuzzi bathtub for one person…kinda strange. Not what you would expect for a Gstaad hotel where everyone is going to want a hot tub/jacuzzi after a long day of skiing.
