At numbers 12 and 22, respectively, came the Grand Hotel Park Gstaad and Grand Hotel Bellevue Gstaad.
In the wellness category, the Wellness & Spa Hotel Ermitage Schönried placed 3rd; newly renovated GOLFHOTEL Les Hauts de Gstaad & Spa Saanenmöser was not far behind at 12th.
Proving Gstaad is indeed affordable, four hotels were deemed ‘nice price’, including Romantik Hotel Hornberg Saanenmöser (7th), Hotel Alpine Lodge Saanen (17th), Hotel Kernen Schönried (19th), and Hotel Alphorn Gstaad (34th).
Families take note, Steigenberger Alpenhotel and Spa, as well as Lauenen’s Alpenland, are top choices with the little ones in tow, earning 10th and 19th in the family hotel category.
