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.
