Our take
Hotel Olden is a traditional boutique hotel in Gstaad's pedestrian zone, and its restaurant is as much a reason to stay as the rooms. The kitchen serves Mediterranean cuisine, and the hotel is a popular meeting point for locals and visitors, so evenings have some life. Family-friendly slopes and ski schools are easy to reach, and ski storage is provided. Guests give it 9.4, but from only 14 reviews, so I would treat the score as an early signal. I would book it for couples or families who enjoy a lively village setting.
- Make use of the ski storage to keep your equipment secure and ready for the slopes
- Explore Gstaad's pedestrian zone right from your doorstep, it's perfect for an evening stroll
- Ask the hotel about the best routes to the family-friendly ski slopes and ski school meeting points
Why we love it
