This is my favorite place in Gstaad. I would say the menu is typical Swiss-German, but not so…read moretypical in preparation. I usually get the Tete de Veau / Kalbskopf. If you've ever eaten this dish anywhere else, it is usually a plate of mostly veal fat with very little flavor. At the Rossli it is much less fatty, and comes with this gravy boat of very finely cubed vegetables in a heavenly vinaigrette. Last night I had some veal dish off the daily specials menu, that the waitress described as from the calf/ankle of the calf. Whatever the cut was, it was low fat and beautifully tender. My wife had the kalbsleber which I tasted and was also delicious (and I not usually a fan of liver, well not cow liver anyway). What I am a big fan of when I'm in Switzerland is veal. I think we Americans have the best beefsteaks, but the Swiss have and prepare the best veal. The service here is top notch and very professional. It's been my experience that all the servers are fluent in English, French and German, but that is pretty much the case at all of the places in Gstaad. The menus are also printed in these 3 languages, except for the daily specials which are only listed in French and German. The servers also wear traditional uniforms you would expect at a Swiss landhaus in the old days. The chalet the Rossli is located in may actually be the oldest chalet in the village. Based on the name it was the original post office for the village, and is currently also a modest hotel. I've only ever eaten in the steubli, which I prefer over the formal dining room. The steubli is decorated with old skiing photos, deer antlers and local artifacts. I find it very charming. This place defines classic Swiss dining in a Landhaus. If you are in town during anything resembling the busy seasons; Christmas, February, and Summer, I would suggest reservations. The impression I have, is that this place is popular with those in the know. I've been going there for 13 years now and it's always good. Lastly, there's price. With the exchange rate being what it is the last few years, Switzerland is expensive, and Gstaad is expensive anyway, but I consider this place a very good value considering the quality of the food and impeccable service.

It hit the spot!

Definitely Michellin/James Beard star quality- see my reviews of restaurants in Paris, New York, Hong Kong, etc. This is one that ranks amongst the best. The presentation, the quality of the ingredients, the final product- all par excellence. By New York standards, the value is immense as everything on the menu would cost more in NY. This will be my main destination for visits to Gstaad and a definite incentive over other Swiss alpine destinations.

Some rooms have balconies with a view of the town (Palace Hotel) or the valley with mountains and a gorgeous sunset. During very popular weeks during the year they do have a one week minimum booking. But you should call in advance to see. Breakfast is included and you can also have dinner included with your rate (half board) if you desire. The breakfast is a wonderful Swiss breakfast and you have a choice of all different kinds of müesli and cheeses, including the local Gstaad cheese, local sausage, smoked salmon, incredible breads. Swiss jams. The servers also will make you a great cappuccino, latte,, a fresh avocado toast, bacon and fried eggs, etc. if you want. It's just a very charming small hotel and cozy as it is family owned. The Saagi Stubli fondue restaurant underneath the hotel is known as one of the best raclette places in the area (they melt it with a wood fire) but make a reservation with the front desk in advance. I always stay here on my trips to the "Saanenland". You're right in the center of things so you can walk everywhere. Best location! Just next door there's a great a ski shop/rental place across the street, a "molkerei" store where you can buy drinks and snacks, drugstore, and you can actually walk 10 minutes to the Eggli ski mountain if you want. On my stay (2022) because I had booked directly through the hotel they gave me the option of either a free pass at the local Sports Center which is just down the street with a beautiful pool and gym or a drink at the bar in the hotel. They have a wonderful wellness center in the hotel with a sauna, steam room, relaxation rooms and whirlpools. showers have different temperatures and scented waters (like citrus or eucalyptus) with colored lights to relax, stars in the ceiling, and things like that. There's no gym in a hotel but the Gstaad Sports Center is right next-door and it has a fantastic gym you can use, plus the Olympic size pool there is beautiful. You can pay for parking in the hotel's underground lot. Simply a great place to stay in Gstaad.

I certainly would recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a luxury stay in Gstaad. Breakfast was also very good with a great selection of cheese, meat, bread etc... The only thing I want to mention is the lunch menu. We had a quick lunch and we felt that the prices are even for Gstaad a bit steep especially when you consider the portions. The quality of the food was ok but not up to the standard you would expect. Our salad came a bit blend and the bread with our terrine was too much toasted. For a small lunch (salad + 1 piece of terrine) that comes to over 100 CHF it has to be perfect. Never the less a great hotel with amazing staff and a spectacular spa area!
