This is a fantastic hotel. It is hard for me to believe this is not the #1 hotel in Sils on TripAdvisor. We had seen an article in the Wall Street Journal about visiting Sils and staying in the Waldhaus, a large and classic grand old hotel. By the time we made our arrangements, there were no openings at the Waldhaus, and we landed on the Parkhotel Margna. Boy, are we glad things worked out that way! We went up to the Waldhaus for cocktails and dinner while we were in Sils to get some idea of what it was like. We were very happy to get back to Parkhotel Margna. The Waldhaus was almost like a museum, a grand old hotel keeping up its traditions, and one had the feeling that many of the families staying there had been coming back for years, even generations. On the other hand, the Parkhotel Margna was recently renovated (early in COVID) and kept a lot of its charm but has a very, very clean, modern feel. Hotel Margna is a very luxurious hotel but in a very modern and welcome way, and is in no way stuffy. It was definitely the better choice for us. Our room had a lot of inlaid wood and wonderful views. The WC (toilet and small sink) was in a separate room from the shower and main sink, which is always nice. The toilet itself is worth mentioning, as it was one of those Japanese multifunction electronic combinations toilet / bidets. You don’t know what you’ve been missing until you try one. We had a lovely view of the mountains from our room (check out the photo). While on the map it appears the hotel is a little distance from the town, in fact the walk is very flat and easy. (In contrast, the Waldhaus, while closer, is up a steep windy street that can be concerning to walk at night.) And, a word about the self-park garage, built under a field so as not to disturb the view, and connected to the hotel underground. OMG, I don’t think I’ve ever been in such a clean garage. Perhaps only Jay Leno has a garage to rival it. It was absolutely spotless, freshly painted, and even had art hanging on the walls! Breakfast was wonderful, with very fresh bread and so many other choices, and they were happy to make eggs for you. We also had a wonderful traditional dinner in the Stuva, and had drinks a couple of times in the hotel bar, which had a live keyboardist. Most of the hotel guests were European (not American, as we are). We were there the first week in September with another couple, for just a couple of days of seeing the mountains. It was a wonderful time to be there. It took me a few months to write this review as I wanted to be sure I had time to do this establishment justice. For anyone thinking of staying anywhere in the Engadin, I would strongly recommend you consider the Parkhotel Margna.

Staff were very helpful and warm. Hotel Manager came out to welcome us upon our arrival and to wish us well when we checked out. Nicest hotel staff we have encountered in a very long time. Hotel facility was excellent and the views from our terrace was spectacular. Room was perfect and the walk-in closet was a nice touch. Bathroom amenities was plentiful and A Grade. Service was great all around. Staff were very attentive and warm throughout the day. Breakfast and dinner are served on the 5th (top floor) and everyone was just amazing every time including during our occasional room service requests. Hotel is located 15 minutes away from St. Moritz on a very scenic drive. It is a nice break from the throngs of noisy tourist that populate the city. Location is wonderful. There is a nice lake very close to the hotel. You can actually see this from the terrace of your room. It is a good 10 minute downhill walk to the lake and the hiking trails close by. Bus service to the hotel (15 minutes trip) comes at regular intervals and it goes through the narrow streets of St. Moritz all the way to the train station. Bus stop at the train station is about 200’ and the stop at the hotel is right at the doorstep. We didn’t know that the hotel offered free pick-up and departure shuttles to and from the train station so we took the bus on our arrival. Getting to the hotel from the train station was a breeze with a couple of huge luggages as both stops were basically at the doorsteps. Cable cars to Corvatsch is right across the hotel. The hotel bakery offered a quiet space to enjoy the afternoon with very delicious offerings.

We stayed at St Moritz Youth Hostel for a night after taking the Glacier Express from Zermatt. One might think lesser of a hostel as compared to a hotel but after our night stay at St Moritz Youth Hostel, I found myself truly underestimating the service a hostel can offer, much unbeknownst to a general opinion. And we owe thanks to Iris and her team’s wonderful hospitality and service, the stay was a memorable and wonderful experience. It was the last night of our honeymoon trip in Switzerland. Although it was snowy, sheer cold and our skins were shivering from the brr conditions, the kindness and hospitality by Iris and her team who went above and beyond truly, exudes warmth from within, which made our experience an exceptional one. One that would etched in our memories for many decades to come. We felt that this hostel provides extremely good value and is only a 10 mins bus ride away from the train station. The bus stop is right outside the hostel so it’s convenient even with big luggages. We bought 24 hours tickets at the station for the bus ride. Hostel is clean and has a good welcoming vibe. Although we stayed in the shared bathroom, bathroom was clean and near, didn’t have to wait long to use. There was also a basin in the room so it’s quite convenient. You don't have to step out to brush teeth or do any washing. Do bring your own soap, u can borrow a hair dryer from reception. We had dinner at the hostel, it was amazing. Breakfast was wonderful too. I would highly highly recommend this place to stay , you are in safe hands and well taken care of by the awesome team! They are patient and answer all your questions and share with you more about how to get around. St Moritz is a small town, but the experience and takeaways we obtained from our stay, is far greater, significant than the place. This in my opinion, is what you call travelling for an experience, with an experience. Thank you so much to Iris and the team (sorry didn’t manage to get your names!!)!! Superb is an understatement.
