Posthotel Rössli

My husband and I recently spent a month long vacation in Switzerland. Posthotel Rössli was recommended by my family who stayed there previously. We stayed two nights in a Superior Double Room (#224). This room was sumptuous with high count linens, fluffy towels, large bathroom, separate toilet room, and two balcony doors. There was also a nice sitting area with two chairs, as well as a desk. The best part was all the paneling which was SO Swiss and cozy. Nadja and Conroy Widmer are continuing as great caretakers of this beautiful hotel, just as previous generations before them. Nadja - thanks for the hiking suggestion via Wispile. Conroy - was also great to meet you and talk about my parent’s visit in 1999 and that little escapade! ;0) The breakfast was delicious and the cappuccinos were flowing! We also had cheese fondue one evening and do not miss the plum pie! We will definitely return!

Gstaad, a village synonymous with the rich and the famous of the world, steeped in luxury and Swiss views to die for. It does not disappoint!! Nestled at one end of the famous promenade is this beautiful chalet Posthotel Roessli, said to be the oldest hotel in Gstaad. It lives upto it’s name and tradition by which the Swiss were once famous for. It feels like a fairy tale to be in this wooded cottage. The rooms are of a varying sizes typical of chalets, but very tastefully equipped. We stayed on the top floor(third), which my daughter absolutely fell in love with,as her bed was neatly tucked into a corner. The room was well sized and the bathroom felt so bright because of a natural skylight. The receptionist cum owner Nadia is one of the most wonderful people we have come across in Switzerland. She not only guided us on the various activities and happening around saanen, she advised us on the best food and sights in and around Gstaad. Thank you Nadia once again. The hotel has a lot of choice to lounge around on the ground floor, with some awesome old world charm in its restaurants. It’s a treat to be surrounded by tradition and Swiss hospitality, and not by standard, mundane commercial MBA type hotels. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who likes traditional Swiss hospitality and a home away from home.

The Rossli appears to be a charming local institution and enjoys a great location right on the main promenade in Gstaad. We stayed at the recommendation of friends who are 20 year veterans of Gstaad. The rooms were nice if simply furnished - in keeping with a three star hotel. The vintage photos and prints hint at the history of both the town and the establishment. Breakfast is included in the room rate as is Wifi and parking. The staff was overall much more welcoming than the hotel management. If you want to be in the thick of the Gstaad scene, then this is a reasonable option. For a bit extra, the Bernerhof Hotel (4 stars) is also on the promenade. It has nicer rooms and better facilities like an indoor pool and sauna plus a couple of restaurant options.

This is a very nice Chalet/Hotel Located on the begin of the pedestrian area, its no problem to unload your car in front of the main entry and park behind and take a different entrance. The staff is very friendly, we have been travelling with 2 kids and we got an upgrade to a bigger room. The rooms are very warm, and the bathrooms have a good standard. It was quiet silent and we could not hear other guests. I would recommend for family ( there is no lift for buggy )

I have stayed at the Rössli, as well as quite a number of other hotels in Gstaad over the decades and I must say the Rössli is one of my very favorites. Their bedrooms and furnishings are really appealing - all warm wood, done in the traditional way, simple and beautiful. There is no clutter but only very comfortable, clean and warm. The Stube with local people is genuine which is rather hard to find these days. Well, now I have my own chalet so I do not stay in the Rössli any more - but receiving their email about their updates made me want to write about them! I am very happy to see from the pictures that the bedrooms maintain their warm ambiance!

Walking into the Roessli, we immediately felt at home. We were drawn to this historic, and what is actually the oldest hotel in Gstaad,due to the recommendation of a local friend, and we felt at home right away. From the historic photos to the tasteful upgrades to the rooms to the yummy breakfasts. The owner, Conroy and the incredible staff, are friendly and super helpful with suggestions and sharing tips for the many local excursions. We WILL be back.
