Sample hotel description:
Graubünden
Chalet hotel, Klosters
Chesa Grischuna
This has been a landmark in Klosters ever since
it was built as the original railway hotel 60 years ago. Now it is just a few
steps from the Gotschnagrat-Parsenn cable car and attracts outsiders all
day long to the sunny terrace and the busy restaurant which serves up caviar and
Châteaubriand as well as local specialities; in the afternoon, however,
pastries are the draw for ladies waiting for husbands to finish skiing.
'Old-fashioned in the best sense' was the
reaction to furnishings which aim for comfort rather than a designer look. Up
the stairs that creak with age, bedrooms have double-thickness doors to ensure a
quiet night's rest. The Chesa Grischuna happily manages to satisfy all types:
the bar is famous as an après-ski rendezvous, while upstairs the sitting room
has games and cards, an open fireplace plus a mural detailing the history of
Klosters and the Guler family. Hans Guler died in 1991 but his family continues
the tradition of gracious hospitality. Their guest book reads like a Who's Who
of statesmen and princes, actors and artists but everyone receives the same
genuinely warm welcome. Important to book up well in advance.
Nearby winter sports; swimming; tennis.

information, location, price range, room types, accessibility information, pet
policy, etc. follows the hotel photo and description.)
