Vibe: Contemporary Swiss inn.

Area: On Val’s picturesque village square, just a few minutes walk from Peter Zumthor’s world famous Therme Vals.

The DNA: Family-owned and operated since 1929, Hotel Alpina was completely renovated in 2006 by a local Grisons architect. Plenty of local wood lends the hotel a minimalist style. The first floor restaurant serves local specialities made from fresh, bio products such as organic local beef from Hof Leis, local game, trout from the valley streams in early summer and local lamb. Grisons wines complement your meal. The Alpina also features a traditional Swiss tavern and bar with a terrace on the village square.

Suite-Me-Up: There are no suites, but the designer rooms feature crafted bright wooden furniture by local carpenters and bathrooms made of Valser Quarzit-stone.

Your hosts: the Kühne-Schnider family
