The best accommodation in Davos

Davos is a town of two parts; the majority of accommodation is in Davos Platz, while the slopes are more conveniently accessed from Davos Dorf. However, there’s an efficient ski bus between the two. 

Most of the accommodation in Davos is four- and five-star hotels, which are typically solid and largely uninspiring. In autumn 2022, the Alpine Inn, an historic building built as a sanatorium, opens after extensive renovation offering 48 rooms and suites. Self-catering apartments are also available, as well as a few high-end catered chalets.

A relatively new addition to Davos, the Hard Rock Hotel is close to the main Schatzalpbahn cable car in Davos Platz. Formerly the Spenglers Hotel, built over 130 years ago, the hotel retains mainly original features but has been given a thoroughly modern makeover. It has an indoor pool and music-centric spa treatments, Davos’ only rooftop bar, a restaurant and a library of 20 Fender guitars to borrow.
