The Top 38 Hotels Near La Preséf

The original key racks are still in use, and the staircase still creaks, which tells you everything about how this grand hotel above Sils Maria thinks about progress. Five generations of the same family have kept it stately without turning it into a museum, and 140 rooms, a forest-fringed spa, and views across glassy lakes and snowy peaks make the case that not every Swiss hotel needs to be in St. Moritz.

Twenty-four rooms in an 18th-century villa on Lake Como, each one individually designed and stuffed with original frescoes, Murano chandeliers, and the kind of gilded mirrors that make you feel briefly aristocratic. The terraced gardens run seven acres down to the water, and a vintage orange Fiat 500 handles property transport. Ranked fourth among the World's 50 Best Hotels, Passalacqua wears its grandeur lightly, the food is simple and seasonal, and the spa hides in a subterranean vault.

The Neo-Baroque facade in an Alpine village that actually earns the word "grand," which hotels have been devaluing since forever. This is a full-scale luxury resort in Pontresina, just outside St. Moritz, with three restaurants, an elaborate spa, a vast indoor pool, and Swiss pine-paneled public rooms that make the already-opulent exterior look understated. Nine themed suites sit alongside classically styled rooms, and the service is the quietly efficient kind that anticipates before you ask. Michelin 2 Keys.

A 19th-century castle on the quieter side of the valley from St. Moritz, Hotel Schloss Pontresina plays the Romantic-atmosphere card without making guests earn it through draughty corridors. Rooms run Alpine-contemporary, with knotty cabinetry, red fabric accents, and oversized windows pointed at the Bernina glacier. The whole property leans into family travel, the spa runs year-round, and the slopes are five kilometers away.

Hand-painted frescoes and a spiral staircase that survived into the present intact set the tone at this seven-suite guesthouse in S-chanf, perched above the Engadin Valley. The owner is a former gallerist, and the interiors mix restored original details with flea-market antiques and rotating art shows. Pine floors, wood-beam ceilings, and the occasional tartan suite round things out. Homemade breakfast and afternoon cocktails in the library are included.

A centuries-old barn and stable in the tiny village of Fürstenau, rebuilt by architect Gion A. Caminada into a boutique hotel where heavy timber meets spare, modern furnishings in a way that feels more considered than contradictory. Rooms look out over the village rooftops or the mountains beyond. Guests tend to have dinner next door at Schloss Schauenstein, which is its own conversation entirely.
