The elegant **** Steigenberger Alpenhotel and Spa Gstaad-Saanen enjoys a privileged location in the beautiful southern hills of the Bernese Oberland, overlooking the pretty Alpine villages of Gstaad and Saanen. Built in traditional chalet style, it cleverly combines cosy home comforts with Swiss elegance and efficiency - when we ordered morning coffee, and the cream arrived in an edible chocolate jug, we knew we were onto a winner!
Eating well is an important part of any holiday, and this hotel will not disappoint! Each day starts with a fantastic buffet breakfast, followed by complimentary tea and cakes in the afternoon. In the evening, you can dine at either of the hotel's two restaurants: the beamed Halte Beiz offers full a la carte dining (at a small supplement, pay locally), while the panoramic Sonnenhalte on the 4th floor offers a 4-course gourmet menu which changes daily. Children enjoy unlimited soft drinks throughout the day.
During your stay here, you can be as active, or not, as you choose. As well as maps, we will provide you with a fully researched set of independent walking route notes, allowing you to explore the gentle hills, valleys and mountains at your own pace. We also include the 5-day 'Easy Access' card allowing you unlimited travel on the local buses, trains and mountain lifts, and there are guided walks from the hotel.
You will stay in a superior room with panoramic south-facing views, balcony or private terrace. Added luxuries such as CNN television and radio, mini-bar, hairdryer and inhouse bathrobes are also provided. Singles are not forgotten either as there is no supplement for sole occupancy of a double room on any date.
We're probably a little biased, so here's what our customers say...
"My wife and I have had three holidays with you, and part of the enjoyment has been the standard of hotel you use as well as the excellent walks. We were really surprised with the train journey from Montreaux to Saanen, it was wonderful!"
Mrs P Knox, Swindon
"Thank you for a great holiday, I liked your personal service, I felt like I mattered when I rang you."
Miss V Tilley, West Sussex
