Einstein St. Gallen Hotel Congress Spa
On the edge of the Old Town, this former embroidery factory is now an upscale hotel with sleek interiors (polished cabinetry, subdued floral fabrics), a uniformed staff, and a five-star attitude. There's a generous breakfast buffet, laid out in the skylighted top-floor loft, but it's an additional cost. The bar is dark, leathery, and appropriate for the business-class clientele. A modern annex houses more rooms, and guests have free access to an adjacent fitness center and spa.
