Rooms and design
The Mega Family Room visited blended modern alpine design with bold red accents, art and playful objects. A built in fireplace and private balcony added a strong sense of place. The room also included refillable glass water bottles and a safe.
The layout was practical for a family, although the open bathroom arrangement may not suit everyone. Mountain views were a major part of the appeal.
Breakfast and dining
Breakfast featured Swiss classics alongside an extensive international buffet. Gruyère, cold cuts, pretzels, yoghurt and fresh orange juice stood out. Waffles, pancakes, pastries and hot dishes added plenty of variety.
Current dining includes Brasserie 1519, the W Living Room and seasonal U Yama. The hotel also advertises 24 hour room service. Breakfast is currently listed from 7am to 11am, but seasonal opening hours can change.
During the original visit, cocktails were around CHF 25 and main courses around CHF 35. Those prices are historical and should not be used as a current menu guide.
