Hotel Walserhof by Christoph Hargreaves-Allen

This hotel's style is simultaneously very elegant and very cosy. With three suites and eleven rooms, it's a family hotel with an interior great style embedded within a core of local charm. Seventy per cent of the hotel's clients are repeat guests, evidence of the winning personalities and high standards of the management. Recent guests in the restaurant included the Presidents of Turkey and of Greece simultaneously, forgetting their differences in the interest of food. High-profile guests are the norm here, bringing with them bodyguards and sometimes food-tasters - in which case the food-tasters are extremely lucky, as the cuisine is a legend in itself - but despite this, the Walserhof has a genuinely low-key character. [Prince Charles has stayed here well over ten times, always taking the same suite overlooking the sledge run.]

The hotel entrance itself is inviting: a heavy oak door with Baroque metalwork and archaic carvings opens onto an aged wood Stube with a red-and-white patterned upholstered ceiling. The Stube was moved beam by beam from an ancient farmhouse across the valley. The bedrooms are supremely comfortable, with large beds and pine cupboards, done up with great restraint and European sophistication, some of them overlooking a sledge run. The atmosphere is gentle and romantic.
