We loved this property. It was so serene. The wellness center was perfect for the end of our European holiday. Would highly recommend. The only recommendation (albeit very minor) I would have for the hotel is to offer some meal options that are a little more healthy/simple. But other than that, we absolutely loved our stay.

A Great Stay with an Amazing view
The view from the room was breathtaking and the complimentary treat was a welcomes surprise. Additionally, the town of Appenzell nearby is beautiful and welcoming. The only minor issue with our stay was that the coffee machine near the reception area was out service. Wish there was at least a hot kettle to make tea as the room does not include one. Lastly, use of wellness area was an additional fee, and based on the description alone, we did not think the cost was worth it. Maybe on a future trip we would revisit this. Overall, the Hotel is a wonderful option for those wishing to view the top of Säntis or explore the Appenzell area.

Hotel.com fails rate protection; ruins family trip
Booked hotel in June 2021 only for hotel to not honor their published rate. I thought i was protected by Hotel.com guaranteed pricing policy but Agent Ben only gave non-viable options for other properties. Not even in close proximity to original destination. Also lied about guaranteed rate policy/protection. And saying the company is no longer a partnered hotel because they ended their contract. Hotel is very much still available. In the end, definitely ruined a great family experience and no remedy or consideration for their failures.

Das Hotel at Säntis is nothing like a 3* hotel. I would give it 4 1/2* for sure. From check in to check out the staff looks sfter you, is super friendly and help ful. The rooms are comfortable and well equipped. View of the mountain is stunning. The restaurant serves a very good breakfast buffet as well as dinner. Quality of the food is very high using a lot of regionally sourced products, inclusing cheese from the cheese fsctory across the street. We especially liked the short-holiday package that included half-board, a lunch pakket and a cable car ride up the Säntis mountain and the opportunity to have breakfast at the mountain top without any surcharge. In the dorect vicinity of the hotel there are a number of beautiful hiking tracks for various skill and stamina levels. We are already planning to come back.

New & Nice!
Note: I visited Schwägalp a few years ago when the old wooden hotel was still there. It was a very scenic place back then, but the new hotel is quite nice too and architecturally impressive. Time marches on!) We (senior couple, California) had a wonderful 2-nite stay in early Feb19. Unfortunately, the cable car was down due to an avalanche, but we walked snow trails and had a great time. The weather was perfect, sunny and 100% blue skies - lucky. We'll return when cable car (Schwebebahn) is back up and running. May take a while. The staff was excellent. An extraordinary thing happened: we had a young man as our waiter in hotel restaurant the first nite (2/5). We mentioned to him how delicious the "house bread" was. He had the kitchen staff bake us a loaf to take with us! He wrapped it up, the whole 9 yards. This is truly above and beyond. I have never had this happen in 60 years of travel. What a nice gesture. The young man is a huge asset to the hotel. General: I'm a big fan of Switzerland and have travelled through the country often over the decades and since the 1970s I've ridden all the train routes to exhaustion. Schwägalp (i.e., Säntis Hotel) should be on everyone's list for a visit - a delightful place. Foot stomp: they have a nice spa in the hotel. Bring a bathing suit! Robes & slippers are provided. We used public transportation to reach hotel. As usual in CH all connections were right on time. I REALLY like that! We'll be back.
