Our take
Hotel Waldhaus am See sits on the shore of Lake St. Moritz, and I would book it for character as much as comfort: its whisky bar holds a world record, and the kitchen leans on barbecue, fondue and fish. Traditional rooms look onto the mountains, and the sauna, solarium, steam bath and massages cover the evening. There is no pool despite the label, but 1,996 reviews averaging 8.8 speak clearly.
- Explore the Engadin Valley using the complimentary mountain bikes available at the hotel.
- Dedicate an evening to the whisky bar; with over 2500 options, it's an experience in itself.
- Book a room with a lake view to fully appreciate the remarkable scenery from your window.

Why guests love itHotel Waldhaus am See sits right on the shore of Lake St. Moritz, and our traditional room had mountain views that changed with every hour of light. The restaurant's fondue and barbecue nights were hits with the kids, and the fish dishes were excellent. After skiing we used the sauna and steam bath, and I booked a massage one afternoon. Once the children slept, we had a nightcap at the record-breaking whisky bar.
