Best Relais & Châteaux Hotels in Switzerland

The Arosa Kulm Hotel is lauded for having one of the most scenic addresses in the Swiss Alps. The property sits 6,000 feet above sea level, in the mountainous region of Arosa, about 92 miles southeast of Zurich. The hotel itself is one big vantage point. Situated along rolling hills and flanked by picturesque peaks as far as the eye can see, guests were breathless at the sights surrounding the Arosa Kulm. But don't spend all your time simply looking at the scenery. The hotel offers up enough activities to keep you busy for days, including skiing, ice hockey and tobogganing during the winter, as well as hiking, tennis and paragliding during the summer. Those looking for a little more relaxation can indulge in the expansive on-site spa, which includes a swimming pool with a waterfall, massage showers, a grotto, Finnish saunas, a tanning studio and a children's natural rock pool, among other features. Dining is also plentiful, with the hotel housing six restaurants varying from fine to casual. Rooms are more subdued than their surroundings and have a lodge-like feel (complete with wood-paneled walls) featuring basic comforts like TVs, desks and, in some accommodations, balconies. Apart from the hotel's unbeatable location and well-equipped facilities, the property's stellar customer service was a high point for recent lodgers.
