Grand Hotel Kronenhof Pontresina

My husband and I celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary at the Grand Hotel a few years ago and absolutely fell in love with it! We decided to return a few years later to share the experience with his sister and brother-in-law from Germany. They loved the hotel as much as we do. The meals are incredible, the views spectacular, the rooms impeccable, and the pool and spa area very relaxing. If we didn't live so far away in Colorado, USA, we would visit more often. I can't say enough great things about the Grand Hotel Kronenhof!!!!

Switzerland country scenery is a huge garden spotted with charming houses. But some places are more attractive than others and this hotel helps to make Pontresina a very attractive destination. |Much more charming than St Moritz, and still only 10 minutes away, Pontresina is a beautiful base for hiking and relaxing. |This hotel makes relaxing a special experience|Build nearly 200 years ago and after several expansions and refurbishments today they offer a classical XIX century building with all modern conveniences, tastefully decorated and with a refined taste all around.|The huge stately restaurante serves an excellent buffet breakfast and a fixed dinner menu with choices. A second gourmet restaurant adds on alternatives if the restaurant is not enough. |WiFi works very well, the Spa is huge and fantastic, one of the best I visited, The garden facing the valley and mountains with its lunch wooden cabin restaurant, makes relaxing during the day the perfect plan.|We had a very nice suite consisting of a generous bedroom, separate living room and large bathroom. Everything up to date and elegant. Clothes storage space is so large that you could bring your whole wardrobe and will not fill it up.|As very frequent in Switzerland AC is not provided. I have some doubts about 5 star hotels going on with this policy outside major cities. |Staff is very well trained and formally dressed up as in all palace hotels.

All around 5/5 experience. Their half board offering is very worth it. The food and service in the restaurant were suburb. For both dinner and breakfast the staff is exceptional. A very well oiled machine with patience, skill and genuine demeanor. The rooms were spacious, two twin beds pushed together with separate duvets, European style. Gorgeous bathrooms with heated floors. We had massages at the spa which were some of the best we’ve had. The spa itself was clean, well maintained and greatly relaxing. The lap pool has an impressive view of the mountains. We had pre dinner drinks in the bar every evening. Drinks were fantastic, sometimes it did take 15-20 minutes to get them though, so keep that in mind for timing. Again, overall great experience and certainly hope to return in the future.

Beautiful hotel in a stunning location. Little dated and could definitely do with a spruce up, BUT it's uber luxurious still somehow. ||The staff were amazing and very helpful.||The lounge had stunning views and beautifully decorated - it sort of made up for the dates rooms - the rooms were not really a place to hang out in - perhaps if you you were in one of the suites - (we were in room 433)||There's an amazing Thai restaurant walking distance which we went to a couple of times.||Its walking distance (come out of the hotel and turn left) from a place that leads you to a little river and you can walk along it with little bridges - quite stunning

The advantages: the location is magnificent, the hotel is well decorated and quite cosy. The rooms are simple but comfortable. I was positively surprised by the dining room and the evening buffet, where the food was creative and varied. The staff are on hand to help and guide guests in their various activities in the area.||Disadvantages: the spa is quite small and the rules on family times are not respected - and it is difficult to relax with a screaming toddler next door. Some of the staff are sometimes too familiar (several asked for our personal contact). Finally, billing is rather opaque and it's unclear what is and isn't included (particularly at breakfast).

This is a gorgeous and stately hotel, in the style of the grand dames of hotels in old Europe. The building is beautiful inside and outside and worth a visit. After having stayed in many wonderful properties in Switzerland we just found this a hard place to fall in love with. Our room was in the older part of the hotel and felt poorly laid out making the ample space feel cramped. The room is long rectangular with the bed on one end and an oddly placed sitting area on the other end. It did not feel cozy. |The staff was generally helpful but we did not feel the personal touch that we experienced at other fine hotels in Switzerland. At some point it was hard to get service in the bar because three of staff all stood around chatting by the bar with a friend. |Positive points: the free shuttle service to and from the train station is very appreciated. |There are beautiful walks near the hotel that take you up the side of the mountain so that you get an amazing view of the surrounding

Hotel Kronenhof in Pontresina is one of my favorite hotels in Switzerland, located in the beloved Graubünden canton. I have been there several times over the last 10 years and have always been satisfied with their services. Great job!

We had an incredible stay at the Kronenhof. We’ve stayed at luxury hotels around the world and the Kronenhof ranks with the best of them. The hotel is absolutely stunning with a beautiful pool and spa. The staff is amazing with great attention to detail. And the food is delicious, as well an amazing, chic bar with incredible cocktails. I was worried we might regret not staying right in St. Moritz but we loved Pontresina and it was very easy to get to St. Moritz. The hotel also offers free ski shuttle and pick up/drop off from the train station on arrival and departure. Everything about our experience was top-notch!

This is absolutely one of the most charming hotels I've ever seen in my life... and I feel lucky to have stayed here! The views are incredible... it's like heaven here. Service of course, 6 stars!!! The ONLY place to stay in Pontresina!

beautiful, classy and luxurious. I'd discuss the views, but in all honesty, there isn't a spot here that doesn't have a breathtaking view. The staff is very attentive and accommodating, excellent English, and once you get past the prices (which seem to be fairly normal for this region), you'll have an experience worthy of a 5 star property. In house meals should be Michelin rated and even if you're not staying onsite, it's worth coming over to and eating at a few times. Breakfast is barely outdone by the extravagant dinner options, after 2 days here I'm still not sure what my favorite meal was!
