Soldanella

The hotel is clean and neat. Staff was very friendly. The hotel entrance is located on the upper slope. Don’t walk on the wrong side. Location near city area. Bus stop is just 5min walk from the hotel.

The lake view from my room was fantastic. But the service experience in the breakfast is bad. We were singled out and asked/ordered “not to take anything away, ok!” I don’t know why she said that, may be we were eating too much as per her standard.

A lovely hotel, beautifully decorated, takes you back in time to the grandeur of days gone by. We had a room with a view. The lake and the Alps, just beautiful! Loved sitting at the desk at the window looking out over the lake. A cool breeze blowing through the open windows.

I arrived in St. Moritz like a true VIP—via the Bernie Express. The train ride was so exceptional, I briefly considered becoming a full-time train enthusiast. But alas, I left via the Glacier Express, which is pretty much the Beyoncé of train rides. In St. Moritz, the only place to stay is, of course, Hotel Soldanella. Built in the early 1900s, it’s got that “I’m older than you but still cooler” art nouveau vibe. The moment I walked through the front door, I thought, “Wow, I’ve really peaked.” They’ve got a zoo bar and an outdoor terrace with views that’ll make your Instagram followers jealous—lake in front, snow-capped mountains looming behind like they own the place. One floor down, there’s a dining area with ceilings so high, you’ll feel like you should be in a period drama (preferably one with a grand piano, which they also have). And breakfast? Free. I didn’t realise until I left, but I mean, who says no to free bacon? On this level, there’s also a secret gem: a room with a pool table, leading into a library. So if you’re feeling classy, grab a book and pretend you’re cultured while lounging in front of giant windows. The room itself? Mini-bar fully stocked (dangerous), bathroom updated (thank goodness), and the balcony was perfect for my morning “I’m definitely moving here” thoughts. The bed? More comfortable than the life choices that got me there. Book it. Seriously. You’ll thank me later.

Charming old school hotel in St Moritz with views of the lake. Check in was smooth and efficient. Bar staff were friendly. Rooms were updated but we wouldn't call them spacious. Comfortable beds and quiet stay. Bathroom is a bit tight. Restaurant available downstairs.
