Alden Hotel Splügenschloss Review

A little city-palais and a little Relais & Châteaux, this is a gem of a hotel, each room a suite. At the turn of the 20th century, it was a luxury apartment house, home to rich merchants, but its historic decor has been successfully adapted into the midsize charmer that you see today. Bedrooms are spacious and tastefully furnished, including such extras as a sitting area and a luxury bathroom with Jacuzzi and separate shower. Many of the accommodations contain antique wardrobes and are decked out in soothing pastels. One, for example, has been paneled in Graubünden pine from eastern Switzerland. The location is just a 6-minute walk from the Bahnhofstrasse and a 3-minute walk from the Enge rail depot. The restaurant is a virtual art gallery and serves a refined international cuisine.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; bar; airport transfers (150F); concierge; room service

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
