Swiss perfection
The hotel is a classic Swiss family owned and managed luxurious hotel. It occupies an imposing six story building towards the southern end of Pontresina just off the main street, which is fairly traffic free. It is a member of Relais & Chateaux association and has about 70 bedrooms.
Hotel organised a driver to collect us from Samedan train station and likewise transported us to Pontresina station on our departure.
On our arrival we were welcomed by the Mrs Anne-Rose Walther, who was also there to wish us a pleasant trip on our departure. Her husband Thomas made the point of introducing himself to guests at the evening meals.
We had a comfortable bedroom with superb views across the valley to the high mountains. The bathroom was a bit small but well appointed. When eating in the hotel you are spoilt for choice. From the formal Grand restaurant to the Gondolezza restaurant that serves fondue and raclette in an old enormous cable car.
The hotel team were highly professional and provided an excellent service. The impression was that many of them had worked for the hotel for many years and all were committed to upholding the high level of quality that permeates the organisation.
The historical building, it was built in 1907, was superbly maintained and the quality of the fixtures and fittings is second to none. The public rooms were spacious, quiet and ideal for enjoying afternoon tea and cakes after our strenuous cross-country skiing activities. For the energetic, there is also an indoor swimming pool, spa and steam room.
In summary, stay here if you have the opportunity. Lastly, the hotel was most welcoming to small children. However, it’s not for the fur coat fraternity who should feel more at ease in St Moritz.

Best Family Vacation Ever!
We just returned from an amazing week (Feb 15-Feb 22, 2025) at The Hotel Walther. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. Our Engadin Suite was impeccably clean, beautiful and spacious, with a fantastic view of the mountains in front of the hotel. The suite allowed us to separate our children’s area from us, with a sliding wood door. The bathroom had an enormous tub and walk-in shower, with two sinks. The housekeeping service was fabulous.
We were on half-board, and the dinners were 5 courses of culinary excellence. The wait staff was friendly and professional, with special mention going to waiter Daniele who was amazing. Breakfasts were actually my favorite meal, and I always arrived early, so that I could spend a little extra time lingering in the dining room before heading off to the slopes.
The Walthers are excellent hosts, and they were always around the hotel, frequently saying hello, to see how everything was going. After skiing, there were afternoon pastries in the lobby area. Although the traditional Engadin pastries were not my favorite, it was a pleasure to relax in the lounge where a fabulous piano-player entertained. The same musician entertained in yet another lounge in the evening, and he was extremely talented, and I wish I had spent more time listening to his piano and singing. In the evening, before dinner, we often enjoyed the serene indoor pool, sauna area and hot tub.
My family of four skied every day. We used the hotel limo/shuttle to get to Celerina in the morning (CHF 20 per ride). The drivers were right on time, and professional. In the afternoon, we often rode the local bus from Celerina to Pontresina. It left every half hour, and dropped us off almost directly in front of the hotel.
Skiing conditions were absolutely fabulous. Sunny weather every day, and great snow. We rented our equipment from Ski-Service Corvatsch (reasonably priced, great online reservations, multiple locations both at the base of Celerina and at the midstation, up the gondola). We paid a little extra to have them store our boots and skis at the midstation (in Marguns). Every day began with a shuttle to the Celerina gondola, then a ride up to Marguns. After retrieving our boots and skis at Marguns each day, we left our ski bag by the Marguns restaurant and took the chairlifts to explore Corviglia, Piz Nair, Suvretta, Salastrains, etc etc. Lunch at Marguns is a feast. And hot chocolate at the various mountain bars is so relaxing. Marguns bar, Chamana and the Alpina restaurant were great for a hot drink break. We had pizza and Carbonara one afternoon on the rooftop at Marguns, and that is a very special treat. We reserved ski lessons for our children with the St Moritz Ski school, and similar to Ski-service, they have a fabulous app that makes it simple.
My heartfelt thanks to The Walthers for making this one of our best family vacations ever! We cannot wait to return!

It's hard to get better
We had the pleasure of spending a wonderful week at this wonderful hotel. Everything is right here. Of particular note is the incredible energy and warmth of Mrs Walther. She takes care of the guests and implements feedback where necessary. Also the hotel team is top and funny. We were also pleased to see "our" Dana again at the Gondolezza. We are already looking forward to the next holidays at the Hotel Walther.

Stylish hospitality with a feel-good factor
Hotel Walther is a real piece of Pontresina to look forward to. With its warmth, successful blend of tradition and modernity, and great location, it is an excellent choice for a stay in the region. Those who value a good wellness offer and a stylish atmosphere will definitely be happy here. A small upgrade in the fitness area and an improvement in the half-board kitchen would complete the experience.
The rooms are bright, spacious and equipped with good beds, which makes for restful nights. The lobby in particular is a highlight: stylishly furnished and welcoming, perfect for relaxing after an active day in the mountains.
The wellness area offers a pleasant break with a large pool, hot tub and spa. A small downer is the fitness area, which is very limited and equipped with few, sometimes non-functioning equipment – here a modernization would be desirable.
The breakfast buffet convinces with a rich selection and good quality. However, there is still room for improvement in terms of taste and creativity when dining as part of the half-board menu.
