Grand Hotel Kronenhof

Located just outside the village of Pontresina, in the lush Engadin Valley, the Grand Hotel Kronenhof has been a Swiss favorite for more than 165 years for its proximity to summer and winter activities, its gourmet dining options, and its historic wine cellar, which kept guests and locals supplied with Veltliner wines through both World Wars. To find the hotel’s 21,528-square-foot spa, guests pass through a modern, all-glass rotunda with windows framing views of the valley and mountains. Inside lies a vast pool, multiple saunas, and a hydrotherapy circuit with a salt inhalation steam room, Kneipp foot baths, and a muscle-easing salt grotto. The treatment menu ranges from high-tech (anti-cellulite machines) to traditional (hands-on services using local honey and alpine herbs).
