About

Surrounded by a forest at 6.9 feet above sea level, the Grand Hotel offers panoramic views over Arolla and the Valais Alps. The ski elevators and slopes are right outside. The rooms with attached bathroom are decorated in a traditional Alpine style with wooden furniture. The restaurant serves Swiss cuisine and traditional Valais specialties. Free Wi-Fi is available in the entire Grand Hotel & Kurhaus. Guests can play table tennis and relax in the library and the TV room. Massage treatments are also offered. Free private parking is available on site. The hotel can only be reached through a private road. The center of Arolla is a 10-minute walk away. Pets are welcome at our property! However, pets are ONLY allowed in our Balcony Mountain View rooms, as these rooms feature parquet flooring, unlike our other room categories, which are carpeted. A CHF 10 supplement per night applies for your pet.

    Pros +

    • The hotel is a beautiful hotel reminiscent of days gone by. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Comfy room and large bathtub in my room. Fantastic breakfast
    • Great location, classic historical building, with a bar and a restaurant. Nice views all around, right in the heart of the mountains. Large room, nice food.
    • Stunning views on the glacier, incredibly nice and friendly staff (hello, Julia!) - amazing four-leg furry friend being part of the Team. Food in the restaurant is exceptional, location of the hotel on the trail nr 6, fantastic massages, historic and well-maintained hotel. We had a rest day on our 10-day hike there, I could not imagine a better and more friendly place.

    Cons -

    • The dinner menu is minimal and expensive. The squid was very bland.
    • all good
    • Bathrooms could be maybe renovated.

    Location is spectacular with views to the glacier and high peaks at the end of the valley. It was easy to get to and staff were very welcoming. Food was excellent - local products thoughtfully presented in tasty dishes. It is easy to get onto hiking trails from the hotel.

    Lighting in the room was very dim and we were barely able to read at night. It would have been helpful if the hotel had maps showing nearby hiking trails. Reception told us that this year's summer map had not yet arrived (we were there at the very beginning of June). Even the Office du Tourisme in Evolène, the nearest office, did not have a very helpful map.

    The overall hotel is great

    The room was quite small and the bathroom old fashioned but the view was spectacular

    8JörgenPosted on: 2-27-2025

    Felt transported back in the hey days of Alpine travel in the early 20th century - like how the location has kept that experience. People working here were all very helpful and cheerful which made the stay all the more pleasent.

    Just beware that this isn't a 5 star 21st century hotel and you're fine. Nothing to dislike.

    8JudyPosted on: 2-14-2025

    Very good location, ski in, ski out (with a little bit of up hill walking). Hotel was very rustic, but charming. Staff very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was very good, and beautiful views of the mountains.

    Side lights in the bedroom were a bit temperamental, and only 1 spare power socket.

    10OwenPosted on: 1-20-2025

    Excellent breakfast - best to get there early (0730) to make the most of it

    Room was a little small and a bit noisy (had to tell some teenagers to calm down, which they did)

    10AzariaPosted on: 1-13-2025

    Hi we are all the way from New Zealand, I love this hotel so much. Very cosy. I love that they have a larger space where children can hangout . Breakfast is very good with many options. Reception staff are very kind and accommodating, the outside views are also outstanding! . I would love to come back to Switzerland and stay here again!

    Location, decor, service

    10TsuyoshiPosted on: 10-3-2024

    Staff are all friendly. Foods, in particular the cerf steak are extremely delicious using local materials. The views and surrounding wonderful. There was an old piano and I enjoyed playing it with other guests. In the evening, there was a small concert among the guests!

    10MarcPosted on: 9-2-2024

    Garden, location, personnel, forests all around. Beautiful.

    8BernardinoPosted on: 8-26-2024

    Very charmng historic hotel.

    Some rooms are too small and need refurbishing

    9ChristinePosted on: 8-15-2024

    Genuine Place with extremely friendly staff . Beautiful architecture free of modern features as television in the rooms , but with respect for the history of the old hotel . I loved it .

    10KimberlyPosted on: 8-11-2024

    Breathtaking views, beautiful property, elegant hotel in the woods. The staff were exceptional, friendly, accommodating and absolute lovely human beings.

    The only “flaw” was the fluctuating water temperature during the shower. Given the historical nature of the facility, that is perhaps part of the experience.

    7BuzzPosted on: 8-6-2024

    They understand hikers, and are willing to put out breakfast at 6:30AM instead of 7:30AM.

    The building is very old and dark, and the rooms very small.

    10PaulaPosted on: 7-22-2024

    This hotel was incredible. The location is magical, the hotel is historic and charming, and the staff especially Julia was so helpful and kind.

    6EzraPosted on: 7-15-2024

    Great setting. Interesting building. Nice grounds.

    Rooms and place generally are rundown. Food was ok. Breakfast seemed to have a single overworked staff person. Water for eggs wasn't hot even a full hour after breakfast service had started.

    10QiuyiPosted on: 7-8-2024

    The staff is super friendly. The location is just at the bottom of the mountains we need to pass on the Haute Route. Great food and fantastic views of the mountains. Bed is super comfortable.

    9JeremyPosted on: 5-17-2024

    What a great old lady this place is. It is exactly what it sets out to be, a wonderful relic of a time gone by, very elegant and very welcoming

    Rooms are pretty basic, but i dont think the hotel pretends to be anything beyond that
