Säntis - das Hotel

Just stopped for a drink after snowshoeing from Kronberg. Sat outside in the sun. We didn’t realize that there was a served section and a self service section. We ended up in the served section, where they were very busy and it took a while to order, then get the drinks and then to pay. Just for a drink then maybe the self serve would have been better. The hotel is very new after the old hotel was destroyed. The views are very spectacular sitting outside. The hotel directly connects with the cable car to the top of Mt Säntis.

We stayed as this hotel one night. The package for two included included dinner, breakfast and aable car ride to the top of Saentis mountain. The experience from start to finish was fantastic. We paid a little extra to reserve a parking space in the hotel garage but could not see our name/reservation in any of the spaces. Mentioned this at the reception who told us we could use any space that was not already reserved. We had a spectacular view from our room which was very comfortable and had everything one might need including slippers and dressing gowns which would be useful if using their spa facilities which we didn't but is also included in the package. We arrived too early for check-in (15.00) so took the opportunity to take the cable car up the mountain (10 mins ride). The 360 view is breathtaking, as is the whole area around the top which is amazingly well planned for all visitors with lifts or stairs to all floors: young, old, disabled. Dinner in the evening was a set menu which was very good, as was the breakfast buffet in the morning. All staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful. I thoroughly recommend staying at this hotel and visiting the mountain if you can.

Nice terrace. Schlorzifladen is a sweet pastry from the Toggenburg region of eastern Switzerland. It’s a type of fladen (flat pie or tart) made with a shortcrust base, filled with a Schlorzi mixture — a sweetened purée of dried pears (dörrbirnen) that have been soaked for many hours, slowly simmered until soft, and blended into a thick paste. This process produces a dense, dark, and concentrated filling, much richer than one made from fresh pears. The flavor is deep and caramel-like, sometimes slightly smoky if the pears were wood-dried, and often enhanced with cinnamon, cloves, and pear schnapps. The pie may be layered with custard, cream, or nuts, and then baked until golden.

NO WORDS NEEDED. Staff is very polite, the rooms are big and with great view. You can eat breakfast at the top of the mountain on 2500m! Extremely clean and wellness is perfect. I really recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. I surprised my husband with their weekend package for two for his birthday. The wellness area is lovely and the rooms are functional but stylish. The bed was very comfortable. We had breakfast and a three course meal included and they were both very nice. We were lucky to use our Bahn tickets on Saturday but if we had waited until Sunday we would have to have had postpone. I would clarify.

Spacious and stylish rooms, many with a prized view of Säntis or the surrounding woodlands. The breakfast consists of the usual continental selection, but at high quality and with an emphasis on regional produce. Apart from the hotel's restaurant and the summit, there are no other restaurants within easy reach. The seminar facilities are mediocre: they look great, but many lack basic equipment like projectors. Use of the coffee machine was also limited to designated break times.

We have stayed here many times in the winter months and have absolutely enjoyed it every time. The hotel itself is modern, beautiful and clean. The feeling of being right in the mountain is an incredible experience, not to mention the winter hiking paths that surround the property. The service is great from the reception staff and the restaurant staff. We love the local dishes they serve for dinner. The wellness is upscale and tranquil. When booking an appointment through e-mail, they are prompt, precise and friendly. I highly recommend staying here if you have the chance, you will not be disappointed!

We enjoyed a one night stay which included a welcome drink, dinner, wellness and a trip up to the Santis on the gondola where we enjoyed a delicious breakfast. The lantern way walk is not to be missed and there is even hot punch offered for free along the trail. My tip would be to enjoy the spa facilities later in the afternoon and have a later dinner to avoid the crowds. There is a very interesting exhibition on weather up on the summit. Well worth a look. Everywhere the service was excellent.
