Waldhotel Davos

Top choice in Graubünden


The Magic Mountain in Thomas Mann's eponymous 1924 novel, this built-in-1911 sanatorium-turned-hotel has had a stylish facelift, and even standard rooms come with sunny balconies. When you tire of mountain views, head down to the spa's saltwater pools and saunas. The restaurant matches Grisons cuisine with wines drawn from the award-winning cellar. This hotel is only open in winter.
