Intro
This old building of over a hundred years has lost none of its former charm and grandeur. Visitors from around the world are enchanted with the nostalgic rooms, the impressive staircase and the sophisticated manner in which this has remained a young hotel. Still run by its founding family, this is a place where aficionados, gourmets, children, artists and nature lovers feel right at home.
An architectural landmark with a proud history (since 1908), five-star ranking, 140 rooms, 220 beds and a staff of 180, this is the very idea of a grand hotel. But there is more to it than what you see at a first glance. The Waldhaus is also playful and relaxed, and very open to families and children. It is luxurious, but not opulent, vibrantly alive, but comfortably old-fashioned. And it is quite large, but run on a very personal basis. This rare and enchanting mix reflects our fiercely guarded independence. The Waldhaus is still a true family affair without any outside shareholders or managers – something which has become exceedingly rare for a hotel of its size and class in Switzerland. It gives us a chance to do things a little differently, a fact we fully exploit.
7 miles from bustling St. Moritz in an unspoiled mountain village, a grand hotel with character and warmth, family owned and managed for four generations.

Wedding
Sils-Maria is a picturesque mountain village surrounded by glorious hiking trails, pistes and cross-country ski trails. The Waldhaus – a fairy-tale castle set amidst a world-famous landscape – towers majestically above it. The hotel is virtually a monument itself, given its long history, five stars, 140 rooms and 230 beds. But it is a living monument that is to be enjoyed! Relaxed and comfortable behind its imposing façade, shaped by the diverse nature of the people and generations who have worked and stayed there.
Swiss Historic Hotel
The legendary Waldhaus, where the old is not replaced but rather reinforced, was honoured as Historic Hotel of the Year in 2005. Still personally run by the founder and owner family, the interior of this stately 1908 building has remained intact and charms the visitor with its impressive stairwell, the representative lounges and a wide variety of rooms, all offering spacious comfort.
Certified by ICOMOS
Historic hotel of the year 2005 The Waldhaus Hotel enjoys a prominent location on a wooded rocky outcrop. It was built between 1905 and 1908 from plans by the well known St Moritz hotel architect Karl Koller. After being partially destroyed by a fire in 1927, the hotel was restored to the appearance it still has today. The exterior of this stately manor, conceived to be admired from afar, renounces unnecessary decorations. The interior is all the more impressive for it, with its sequence of representative halls and parlours. There are numerous original fittings, all exceptionally well preserved, and new elements are introduced honestly and skillfully in contemporary shapes. Two other exceptional pieces of furniture dating back to the time of its construction are the crystal chandeliers and the Welte-Mignon reproducing piano. This hotel has been in the hands of the same family since its inception, and their unconditional commitment to the hotel's history, the carefully maintained interior decoration and furniture and the undivided attention guests receive here reflect an unsurpassed entrepreneurial philosophy. The Waldhaus is quite simply an example for the Swiss hospitality industry.
Meetings
We have four pleasant and fully technically equipped rooms of 20 to 50 m² for smaller seminars. The Waldhaus Sils is located at 1,800 metres above sea level and three hours or so to the nearest big city. This ensures a particularly attractive setting for a work meeting, an incentive trip, a seminar or a conference.

Standing on a hill above the village, the Waldhaus luckily has plenty views: rooms face east (to Lake Silvaplana and Piz Corvatsch), north (to the meadows and Sils), south (to the Fex valley) or west (to Lake Sils). Nowadays, west and south rooms are in high demand, and hence have a surcharge. Our ancestors thought differently and made the main facades face east and north. The hotel operates a shuttle service to the centre of the village (and in winter, of course, to the skiing area as well) and offers all its guests free passes for the public buses to the neighbouring villages. Our summer and fall rates include a bus pass with even wider validity, as well as the free use of all cable cars and lifts in the region! From June to October, our guests will also find an experienced hiking guide at their disposal for advice and ideas as well as for leading free guided hikes in small groups.
