Riders Palace

Graubünden


Sleep? Dream on. This design-focused boutique hostel draws party-mad riders to its strikingly lit, bare concrete spaces. Choose between basic five-bed dorms, slick rooms with Philippe Starck tubs, and hi-tech suites complete with PlayStation and Dolby surround sound. It's 200m from the Laax lifts. Rates are cheaper outside the main season.
