Maloja Palace Apartments

What an experience! We all felt like we stepped into a time machine and stepped back 100 years into the early days of first class tourism in the Swiss Alps. Upon entry into the lobby, you are greeted by the wide stairs into the upper floors. Inviting confortable lounge areas everywhere. Original epoch memorabilia in every public room. Pictures of an era gone by, when tourism in the Alps was new and all this nestled into the most picturesque landscape of the Upper Engadine mountains, on the shore of Lake Silser. Maloja Palace is certified as CO2 neutral and it is reflected by many of the small details throughout the building. We had booked a studio appar**ent for a family of 3 and we were very happy how spacious it was. We had a good size living/dining room with a pullout bed for our daughter and a seperate large bedroom for us. The bathroom was large, with double sink, bidee, wc and tub/shower. The toiletries were plentyful and eco-branded. The kitchenette was sufficiently stocked and we had everything we needed. We very much appreciated the sauna/wellness area. There are two dry (Finnish) saunas and a Hamam steam room. The operating hours were 4-8pm. (This might be to the fact the we were in the hotel for the last week before closing until mid December. The "gym" is not much to write home about and could definately use a little more attention, but if you want to work out you have a room with some (very) basic equipment. The service was very friendly and helpful.

Good quality/value ratio. Very friendly and helpful staff and clean rooms. Still some work to do in order to make it really sustainable (e.g ingredients provenience, high energy consuming devices in the rooms etc)
