About this hotel
The Hotel Schweizerhof stands in the scenic village of Engelberg, a building over a century old that has been updated with modern comforts. Guests wake up to views of the Urner Alps, a constant reminder of the slopes waiting. After a day on the mountain, the hotel's spa area, complete with a sauna, offers a welcome warmth. Skiers will appreciate the dedicated ski storage, making mornings smoother.

Our take
Hotel Schweizerhof is a three-star in Engelberg set in a historic building, with modern rooms looking out on the Urner Alps. It has a spa with a sauna, ski storage and a restaurant serving traditional Swiss cuisine, with half board available. The listing gives no lift distance. An 8.7 from nearly 1,000 reviews is reliable. I would choose it for couples and families who want half board and a historic house with a view.
- Take advantage of the half-board option for hassle-free dinners after a long day on the slopes.
- Use the ski storage to keep your gear secure and dry, ready for the next morning's runs.
- Spend some time in the sauna to soothe tired muscles and warm up after a cold day outside.

Why guests love itSchweizerhof combines a historic building with modern rooms, and the view of the Urner Alps from our window was striking. Ski storage made the daily routine easy, and after skiing the sauna in the spa warmed us up nicely. We took the half-board option and loved the traditional Swiss cooking at the restaurant, which took the hassle out of evenings with the kids. A comfortable, characterful base for families and couples alike.
