"A luxurious hotel with direct access to the famous Therme Vals spa complex. Guests enjoy exclusive access to the baths, and the hotel features an elevator that takes you directly to the spa reception." - Meike Zimmermann
"At this stylishly urban restaurant (housed in 7132 Hotel, a heritage building that is a magnet for design and architecture fans), Dutchman Marcel Koolen has taken charge of the kitchen. With the support of his international team and executive chef Matthias Schmidberger, he proposes highly creative cuisine with a strong vegetable component. For example, when he combines artichoke pieces cooked in salt dough with artichoke and potato crisps and pickled Vals vegetables and arranges them on a tomato, pepper and basil cream, the result is packed with incredible flavours. The chef is also a dab hand at preparing meat, fish and shellfish. The surprise menu, also available in a fully vegetarian form, can be accompanied by wine pairings or home-made alcohol-free pairings. As for the service, the team led by Franziska Wölfle is professional, charming and always on hand. The chefs, too, join in with serving and talk you through the dishes. The aperitif is taken in the kitchen, complete with a sneak peek behind the scenes." - Michelin Inspector
"An architecturally driven hotel in the Alpine village of Vals that complements Peter Zumthor’s famed Therme Vals, this property features 73 guest rooms designed by a roster of Pritzker laureates and modernist furniture by noted designers. Architectural highlights include Zumthor’s plaster techniques, Tadao Ando–inspired teahouse rooms, Kengo Kuma’s timber-clad rooftop suites and Thom Mayne’s dark wood-and-quartz chambers. Culinary offerings include multiple restaurants—one with two Michelin stars—serving locally foraged mushrooms and alpine produce, and guests enjoy access to Zumthor’s hot-bath complex, including exclusive night-bathing sessions several times a week." - Adam H. Graham
"These Peter Zumthor-designed thermal baths pay homage to the Swiss region ’s natural hot springs, discovered more than a century ago. Accessed only by guests of the 7132 Hotel , House of Architects , and 7132 Glenner (three properties under the 7132 brand umbrella), the baths were made from 60,000 slabs of Vals quartzite, and have a sensual, mystical feel. Granted protected heritage status, the highly mineralized water hovers around 86 degrees Fahrenheit, and on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, the baths may be enjoyed until 1 a.m. Spa services including massages, body wraps, facials, and scrubs are offered in addition to the unique bathing experience. You’ll have to leave your electronic devices back in the room though, as they aren’t permitted in the tranquil thermal bathing area." - Stacey Lastoe
"And now, in Hotel 7132, this village has a hotel that’s worthy of sharing space with the famous spa." - Le Guide MICHELIN
