4 Best Hotels in Chur, Graubünden

Though a bit tricky to get to, this exclusive spa hotel inspires relaxation from the moment you arrive with its airy rooms with deep soaking tubs and steam showers, Michelin-starred food, and fabulous thermal baths hewn from local stone. Guest rooms in light colors and natural wood feature ultracomfy beds, along with inviting sitting areas, complimentary minibars, and long balconies with soothing Alpine views; huge bathrooms have double sinks, double rain showers, and separate tubs. Don’t miss aperitifs in the Blue Bar before choosing between the more experimental 7132 Silver and the more traditional 7132 Red for dinner. Of course, the hotel’s piece de resistance is the thermal baths; stay on a Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday to enjoy a peaceful nighttime soak reserved exclusively for hotel guests. Note that the hotel is closed on Monday and Tuesday nights (though the thermal baths are open), and weekend stays have a two-night minimum. The 7132 complex also includes the House of Architects, which features simpler and smaller (and less expensive) rooms designed by famed architects including Peter Zumthor, Tadao Ando, and Kengo Kuma.

Just yards from the train station, you can enjoy the convenience of a central location at this boutique hotel without worrying about getting a good night's rest, as there are no night trains; amenities and guest rooms are pleasantly modern, and service is friendly and efficient. Regulars needing a straightforward stopover return for its cleanliness, comfort, and free breakfast buffet. There's also a 24-hour fitness room, as well as a spa area with a sauna and steam room, available to guests for one hour a day by reservation.

This family-owned and family-run hotel, built in 1677, is next door to the town's main church and offers modern, wood-clad guest rooms, a cozy lounge with fireplace, a notable restaurant, and a rooftop terrace for relaxing. The Veltliner Weinstuben restaurant serves local wines and focuses on flavorful regional dishes such as Capuns (stuffed chard) and Maluns (potatoes slow-fried in butter); in autumn, it's all about the game and venison. Note that the elevator goes only to the third of the four floors.

Chic nature-inspired rooms offer great value and a fantastic view from floor-to-ceiling windows to the surrounding mountains. Located in a shopping, entertainment, and office high-rise complex—fantastic if traveling by car—the hotel is located directly off of the motorway, yet connected to the town center by bus within 5 to 7 minutes. It's a practical starting point for day trips to Arosa, Lenzerheide, Heidiland, Flims Laax, or the Via Mala, all within an hour's drive or train ride.
