Hotel Schweizerhof 4*- Saas Fee/ Switzerland

I've stayed the night in this 4* hotel Schweizerhof in Saas Fee. This hotel is situated in a side street of the main street of Saas Fee. It's about 500m from the lifts and the slopes, but you can take the free bus (electro) that drives every 30 min. in the village to the slopes.

The hotel is very stylish and set up in a intemporary chique style.
I really enjoyed staying in this hotel and this for several reasons:
1. Great food (worth a Michelin star)
2. Nice & modern wellness
3. Friendly staff members

HINT: Saas-Fee is a car free city (only electro cars of the hotels are allowed), which makes it a very healthy city to enjoy your holidays.

Rooms:
I got a standard room with double bed (2 matrasses - 200*80cm) and a laminated floor. My room did not have a balcony, but there are rooms that have one. The bed was of a really good quality, but the pillows where a bit to big for me personally. The bed is covered with a warm & soft duvet. In the room there is a small flat screen TV, big wardrobe & sofa.
Slippers & bathrobe are provided in the room with 2 extra towels for the wellness.
As welcome there was a plate of fresh cutted fruit + a chocolat with a letter. Also the fresh red rose in the room is something that makes you feel home.

Bathroom:
The bathroom had a normal size with shower (some have bath/shower). The shower was really big and I had a very good water pressure. There are 2 small, 2 medium & 2 big towels provided + a foot mat.
There is a wide range of amenities: body lotion, ear cottons, sewing kit, shower cap, tissues & lemon-drenched-tissues. The hair dryer is of a good quality and pretty strong.

Wellness:
The wellness area exists in 3 floors.
1. Floor with relax area's and a great view on the mountains + big panorama sauna (cloths obliged)
2. Floor with different massage rooms
3. Indoor swimming pool + nude wellness (sauna 65°/hammam/infra-red cabins & rain showers)
There is extra towels provided in the wellness area and also drinking water + ice to refresh yourself.

Breakfast:
The breakfast is served as a buffet, but really one of the most extended I've ever seen.
You can't name it, or it was on the buffet. Therefor I will not mention all items, but post all pictures I took from the whole buffet.
On top of the wide variety, everything is of a very high quality and all fresh (e.g. fresh cut fruit).

Diner:
The diner that is included in the half board is a 6-course menu where you can chose in between different plates per course. This is really THAT why you have to come to this hotel. The food is served & dressed on the plates with the most care.  But not only the eyes, but also the taste buds are spoiled.
The atmosphere in the restaurant is nice due to the live piano music and the nicely dressed tables.

HINT: every afternoon cakes and cookies are provided for free in the lobby.
This is just great when you come in after skiing and to kill the first hunger feelings :-)

Advantages:
- Great food (as well during breakfast as for dinner)
- Nice wellness area, also for those that don't like to be nude in a sauna.
- Friendly & helpfull staff members

Disadvantages:
- thick pillows (and no others provided in the wardrobe) - but this is really personal.
This is really the only negative point I can name.


I would rate this 4* hotel 9/10 due to the fact the food is amazing. I've also enjoyed the wellness area very much. Also the staff members where very helpful. I think everyone will have a great stay in this hotel.
