Belonging to the same family for well over a century, this professionally run hotel offers a romantic vision of Alpine life with rooms bedecked in frilly curtains, canopied beds, heart-shaped mirrors and knotty wood galore. Five of the pricier rooms have private whirlpools. Breakfast is a gourmet affair, with sparkling wine and both hot and cold delectables.
