A large, maze of a hotel that is finely furnished in a classic style that reminds you that it must…read morehave been quite posh to holiday here 40-some years ago. The common areas remain nice and comfortable, but the guest rooms are in sad need of an update. Perhaps Dr. Holm's Hotel is more lively during the winter months, but I stayed here for a rainy summer day in July and the hotel felt like a ghost town (or scene from a horror movie). For as large as the complex is, I saw maybe 5 or 6 staff members total for the duration of my stay. The real redeeming feature of the hotel for me (besides the gorgeous drive through the glacier to get here) was wandering the hallways, getting lost in the various wings, and admiring the artwork. The walls are littered with beautiful lithographs and engravings, and the many bars and sitting rooms are decorated with taxidermy and large paintings. For the hotel alone, hold your breath, but I would have given it [a low] 3 stars based on the charm and feeling as if you've walked into the time of The Great Gatsby. +1 star for the modern high-end spa, which was a unexpected, and a very pleasant surprise. "Dr. Holm's Spa" is an Elemis Official Spa, same type of spa featured on many upscale cruise lines and makers of some of my favorite everyday products. The addition (which is open to hotel guests) includes a large indoor pool, showers, and steam room featuring Shiseido products. Sadly, spa appointments were full upon my arrival but I hope to return to this beautiful part of the world one day and take full advantage of all the spa has to offer.

Looks like a Castle when you walk past or drive up to it. And entrance is kinda nice but thats it…read morereally, every other thing I experienced and saw was mediocre at best. The room we got was supposedly for a family but Ive stayed on 2 star hotels with better rooms. Hairdryer didn't work and the bathroom was like I went back in time to the 60s. Felt like I was at my grandmas. Not great and not what you expect of a "4 star" hotel. Then I decided to try out the pool/sauna area. The Sauna was not working and no way to turn it on. Also didn't get any help from staff when I asked. Pool was mediocre, not great. Kinda dirty. I was looking forward to the Hot tubs most of all but both the one inside and outside didn't work, well rather no water in them and they were half way covered half way open. And looked really dirty. Gym was closed as well. Bar was honestly the only great place, slow service but they had beer and showed football which saved the Bar experience. Honestly think they're just going on outside looks and hope that most of their customers are blind or old. Wouldn't call it a 4 star hotel nor was is 3 stars imo. Would not come back.
