Family-friendly Hotels in Lenk

An old fashioned, not specially nice grand hotel from outside but very nicely refurbished and maintained inside. Service is as expected at this level: courteous and efficient. Our room was not extremely large but very comfortable with excellent bedding and a pleasant balcony. The hall and the bar are somewhat impersonal and uninviting and the few flashing lights behind the pianist were certainly unable to help for this. The spa (I'm talking about the sauna area not the swimming pool with kids that we didn't use) looks pretty new and is very well made. However it is quite small and the - very pleasant - relaxation area, takes a good part of it. This leaves not much surface for the rest and on top of that the hotel unfortunately chose to split it in two zones (thus removing precious square meters for a very small and unnecessary textile area). The result is that saunas are mostly extremely small. A real pity given the potential of the place. The spa is conveniently accessible the day of departure which is very good. But why opening half of it 3 hours after the other?? This is disappointing and incomprehensible! Excellent breakfast, free outside parking. Wifi a bit weak in some areas but otherwise ok. And a of course, as we are in Switzerland, a few pettiness that are always surprising when you spend several hundreds franc a night in a 5* resort... like the inside parking more expensive in winter (!) or the second egg in the eggs Benedict for 4.50 extra (!!)... come on...
