"From the outside, there’s little to suggest that Giardino Mountain, in Champfèr, right next to St. Moritz, might count itself a design hotel. The exterior looks almost edible in that pure classic Engadine way, as though it’s a marzipan miniature. But once you’re through the doors, the fruits of the 2011 renovation are immediately apparent. Proprietors Daniela and Philippe Frutiger, owners of a couple of hotels on the shores of Lake Maggiore, clearly weren’t intimidated by the luxe competition, nor were they overly reverent in approaching the restoration — Giardino Mountain is still an Alpine classic, timbered ceilings and all, it’s just been updated for an audience that’s a bit more visually adventurous." - Tablet Hotels
