The place is beautiful, especially the Thermal Oasis, that deserves 5 stars by itself. You will enjoy the 17 different facilities including beautifully decorated steam baths, saunas, jacuzzis... I also highly recommend the massages, with Swiss herbs and spices. You will enjoy an incredible moment there.

I could go on and on. I see that the owner is new and is taking a lot of efforts to market his hotel...honest efforts I must say. Well if I ever go back to Gstaad, I would like to stay there again. I am not very difficult to please but it takes exceptional experiences for me to write reviews (hopefully that will not be the case in future). But as off now, my 5 stars come from my exceptional experience here.

Looking out to rolling hills, cows, deer, biplanes, and the storybook-like views you can only find in Switzerland is incredible. And the bed was comfortable. You cannot beat the location. Nestled at the entrance to the medieval city, staying here allows you to both easily walk anywhere in the city and park your car in their lot right by your rooms. No lugging your briefcase over cobblestones to get to your hotel in the medieval city, and no driving to get to the medieval city. And you aren't sacrificing any beautiful architecture staying here - it's a great building. The restaurant is so good! We had a lot of fun with the raclette, and the ice cream and meringue dessert was huge but super fun. If I ever came back to Gruyeres, I would definitely stay here again. We had a great time!

We had three lovely experiences at this restaurant during our four night stay in Gruyeres. We left…read moreevery meal noting the great customer service and how lovely the atmosphere was. Note that all menus in Gruyeres are extremely identical so good customer service is a great way to set them apart. During our three visits we tried a variety of wines, Cafe Vienna, the beef broth soup, fondue, raclette, meringue and double cream, liqueur soaked cherries with ice cream and double cream and the salad. One dish that set this eatery apart was their version of the Brazilian pan de queso with gruyere stuffed in the center (perfection!). You'll notice that this restaurant takes over two buildings across the street from one another with patio seating as well as indoor (two levels). We really appreciated that they allowed us to share the one serving size of both the fondue and raclette (ordering two portions is not only too much food but pricey as well).

The check in and check out procedure is so personal. They sit you down and treat you as one on one. Unlike anything I have ever experienced. Upon checkout, they give you a small parting gift too. The dinner was fantastic albeit small portions but 8 courses! The cheese bar is out of this world with 20-30 different cheeses. You can also get cheese to go if you want. As much as you want. They have a neat little cigar bar with Cubans of course. The breakfast buffet in the morning was fantastic with plenty to eat. Oddly, we never got to the spa or pools but we did check them out. Next time... If there is a next time.

Just came back from a stay at Lenkerhof. For sure it was a highlight. A great way to end a long…read morevacation to relax and unwind before heading back home. The town of Lenk is very small but oh so beautiful! Very fortunate the weather was clear and warm compared to the rest of my rainy and grey trip. It is a journey to get to the resort. I was coming from Salzburg which was about an 8hr journey. If you're coming from Zurich it's about 2.5 hrs and if you're coming from Bern it's about 1.5hrs, all by train. Long story short, since I was coming from Salzburg the journey took longer than expected and we didn't check in till about 21.30. We were so tired and hungry when checking in they could sense how exhausted we looked and they called the restaurant to see if they would stay open for us and they said yes! We immediately went to eat and the servers never rushed us and they treated us so well. I was very grateful they stayed open late for us. Tips/Comments: The website, at least for me, was very difficult to get information on what was included in my booking. Friends were the ones who told me about this place and I just mimicked the same packaged they got. So when we arrived I felt like such a cheapo asking if this and that was included b/c i just didn't know. So with the gourmet package dinner AND breakfast is included. Couldn't find a place on site to eat lunch except for in the Sauna they have this vegan broth that provided some substance. Also the contents in your mini fridge are included as well (thank god!). It was the first and only part of our trip where we had free water. Speaking of which, note that most of Europe's drinking water comes from Switzerland so drinking the water from tap is completely ok, even at the airport. When you're at the fancy dinner you can ask for free tap water as well. You also get a city card that lasts the duration of your stay. Highly recommend taking the lifts up to the top (about a 20minute ride) and the views are worth it. If you ever wonder why the town seems empty or quite it's because everyone is on that mountain hiking down. And let's not forget the sulphur pools and sauna. The pool is wonderful and just note that the Sauna's are nude. I get nude is totally an ok thing for Europeans but I'm sorry, my American-ness just couldn't strip down. They do provide a thin towel that I wore to cover up while i was in the sauna, just don't expect anyone else to do the same. Also, don't talk in the saunas. You will get scolded. Last but not least, if you decide to go into town and eat food off site its is VERY expensive. My lunch of a soup, salad, and coke was 38 swiss franks. 0_0

Lots of fresh offerings enough to satisfy even the pickiest eater. The LOCATION, also a big part of our ease of stay. Very short walk from the rail ( train) which runs like a reliable SWISS clockwork! Clean, and timely rail cars make using the trains in Switzerland a real asset to a traveler eager to see many sights! Overall I loved this hotel, and Montreux. Switzerland has my heart! Hope to return in the near future. Possibly to their famous JAZZ FESTIVAL!

Did it live up to the hype? Kind of. Upon check in, we were informed that there's one free activity included a day that's decided beforehand. You must sign up the day prior by 15.00. Checking in around 16.00 on Monday and leaving Tuesday, we could only sign up for a Wednesday activity. The hotel itself is large with a lobby, bar, overpriced restaurants, a game area, kids stations, a spa, pool, and other activities. The winning elements of the trip were the free mountain bike rentals, the pool, spa area, and views. Breakfast included is really good and plenty of options, including gluten free options. The rooms were nice with closet space, a balcony, drinking water, etc. A few things to note: 1) There's no AC and the rooms get hot. There's also only a heavy blanket on the bed and no sheets to use as a cover. 2) The game room is in disrepair with half of the games not working it in poor condition. 3) Staff aren't very friendly. They are helpful just cold.
