Overall Ratings & Reviews Schatzalp Snow & Mountain Resort

Excellent location with spectacular views. The flower and herbs gardens are absolutely amazing and worth visiting. The historic hotel is pretty much authenic, both regarding decoration and amenities. Great, if you like it.

A magnificent traditional hotel with fantastic service and in an incredible setting.

Fantastic location and amazing vintage atmosphere. Carpets and furniture worn but add to the character of the place. Staff walked the extra mile to make sure I could charge my electric car.

The view was spectacular because the hotel is on a mountain top. They gave us bath robes and herbal shampoo that smelled refreshing! The hotel doesnt have a direct rout by car , you should read hotels.com checkin guidlines and use the mountain train. All paid for.

Had a wonderful stay at the Schatzalp, which is set in a stunning location with an impeccable garden and miles of hiking trails right out the front door. The building is a lovely, fading, historic hotel. Some reviewers complained about the fact that the rooms are in need of renovation - true, it's not up-to-date, but for me, that added to the charm and beauty of staying here. Truly a unique experience that I won't forget.

Stayed at the Schatzalp for a week during a (off season) conference. It was great to be up out of town, up the funicular, on the Magic Mountain, in an old school hotel. No TV in the room, big open-able windows looking out onto the mountains, and first class paths heading up (also down, left and right) further into the hills. On the practical side, the breakfast and WiFi were also excellent.

For those who do not define comfort by flat screen TVs and minibars this is a wonderful hotel. The hotel is part way up the mountain (it is the converted sanatorium of Thomas Mann’s Magic Mountain). The view is spectacular and the hotel historic. Many things are dated but that is part of what I love about the place. You can go on lovely walks and ski in the winter just outside the hotel. The rooms vary in size but the superior rooms with balconies are very spacious (the bathrooms are a bit on the smaller size).

Do not miss this hotel if you want the one of a kind experience of the historical schatzalp sanitoriums with its surrounding hills and trails for sledding and hiking or skiing. You are up above the town in your own magic mountain setting. Make sure to request the room with the balcony so you can lounge in the provided robes with a glass of gluhewine or hot chocolate with baileys and watch the woods and the tiny town below.

Lovely historic horltel built around 1900 and a previous TB Sanitorium. Centrally located in Davis and accessed by a funicular railway which is free for hotel guests. Mountain view separate restaurant provide info excellent alpine food. bear in mind the first train in the morning is at 7:30 and whilst there is a walking route down, this is slippy and dark during the winter and personally not recommended at that time. Hotel staff lovely and you can use the gym and swimming pool facilities at their sister hotel in town just at the bottom of the funicular railway.

Amazing classic hotel with views to die for.

Classic Swiss hotel in a fantastic unique location. Cool bar, great terrace, taking the funicular up and down is a novelty and not too much inconvenience - every 15 mins during the day and from 7pm every 30 mins till 2am. Rooms are modest but clean and comfortable and have incredible views from the terrace.

First time back at this old favourite for many years. Sadly the lack of investment is showing and it is quite shabby in the public areas and the bedrooms are in urgent need of an upgrade. Nothing can take away from the location though.

I stayed here for just 24 hours in order to rest and get some work cleared. This hotel is a rarity in a world which measures hotel 'excellence' very uniformly (a certain style with facilities provided in a certain way). What I mean is that this hotel has its very own, unique character. A former TB sanatorium, the clocks used to organise patients' days still illuminate the corridors. The original sinks still feature in the en suite bathrooms. The same heating system is used, the lifts are unchanged. Bookcases containing volumes once lent to patients wanting to while away the months on end up in the mountains in the hope of recovery, line the corridors of the third floor. The former hospital ward on the second floor still boasts the call system. The building is frozen in time yet extremely comfortable. The combined effect of this is one that is ultimately very relaxing; you forget the hustle and bustle and demands of life 'down below'. Deliciously prepared food, a vast space and quiet spacious rooms help the process. And, if the temptations of life down below become too much, excellent free wifi is available across the site. And, if you're determined to measure the hotel through a modern prism, a wonderful new sauna/spa area can be found on the ground floor. I couldn't recommend this place more highly and suggest you go as this space does not do it justice!

The location is great – you cannot get a better view in Davos. But the facilities are not that great. The rooms are old (they are plain old, not antiques nor historical nor charming). In my opinion, this hotel is overpriced.

Tremendous location. Very pleasent staff. lovely bright big airy rooms, only spoilt by poor beds and mattresses.

Friendly, warm , efficient service. Went the extra mile I had hurt my ankle running the Swiss Alpine Marathon, gladly provided plenty of ice for my ankle. Unparalleled views of the Alps, breathtaking setting.

Great for hiking relax VG breakfast VG wellness Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

When I arrived at reception after two flights and a three-hour train journey followed by an interesting funicular ascent, I was met with a very 'frosty' reception and told in a very rude manner that despite my reservation they didn't have a room for me and that I had to go back down to Davos Town and stay at the Hotel Europe which I am sure is a very pleasant hotel but ISNT the BergHotel. I protested very vigorously and after some altercation was grudgingly told that I could stay that night but that they weer full the next day. I contacted reception the next day and they had obviisly had time to rehink this and they told me I could stay but this all left a very sour taste .

The hotel offers a very special atmosphere. A beautiful old building, very friendly staff, and good service. It was a good mix between good service but not too overbearing.

The building is a lovely piece of history in a quiet location with great views from above the town. We came from England for a weekend of skiing and were delighted to find our stay included a pass for the hotel's own private ski area which enabled us the get straight out onto the snow even though we arrived at around 2pm. The only down side is you have to allow time to get the funicular railway to & from the hotel, and use the local bus service if you don t want to walk to the main jacobshorn ski lift next to the train station in ski boots - about 5 minutes in normal footwear. Excellent skiing for intermediates & advanced. Eating out expensive - double English prices, but fresh food in supermarkets is more reasonable. Transfer via train from zurich very efficient and enjoyable as the scenery is breath taking.
