CHARMING SMALL HOTEL GUIDES Page 1,

Sample hotel description: Graubünden 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. (Note: A table with contact information, location, price range, room types, accessibility information, pet policy, etc. follows the hotel photo and description.)
