Klosters is what happens when the Alps put on a cashmere jumper but still remember how to ski properly. It’s polished, pretty and quietly posh, without shouting about it from the nearest champagne terrace.
On the mountain, Klosters gives you two moods in one trip: family-friendly Madrisa on one side, and the bigger, more serious Parsenn area reached via Gotschna on the other. The skiing feels classic rather than flashy, with long cruising runs, scenic lunches and that very Swiss sense that everything will probably work exactly when it says it will. Après is more wine-by-the-fire than table-dancing chaos, which, frankly, can be bliss.
The hotel choice is where Klosters gets a little fiddly. Stay near the centre and you’ve got the station, restaurants and village charm close by; stay nearer the Gotschna lift and confident skiers will thank you in the morning. Beginners and families may care more about easy access towards Madrisa, while non-skiers will want walkability over lift bragging rights. So here’s your helping hand.

Our Featured Hotel
★★★★
If you only book one hotel in Klosters, I’d pick Hotel Piz Buin. It gets the big stuff right without making the week feel over-engineered: superb Gotschna convenience, central village location, spacious rooms, a proper wellness area and enough polish to feel like a treat.
For a mixed trip style – couples, mates, solo skiers or a general “all” group – that balance matters more than chasing the fanciest address or the cheapest bed.
You can be on the lift quickly, back in the spa quickly, and out for food or drinks without turning every evening into a route-planning exercise.
It beats the rest overall because the compromises are small. Vereina is more luxurious, but pricier and less ski-practical. Silvretta has bigger facilities, but it is a little farther from the cable car.
Chesa Grischuna has more character, but not the same wellness comfort.
The budget picks can save money, but you pay in convenience or facilities.
Piz Buin sits in the sweet spot: low-faff mornings, genuinely comfortable evenings, strong location, and a premium feel that still makes sense for skiers who came to ski rather than merely lounge around looking expensive.
- Village centre / next to Gotschna
- Lifts - next to the cable car
- Large spa + wellness are
- Spacious alpine-chic rooms
- Balconies
- BÄR’S restaurant and Grizzly’s bar
Why choose it? Book Piz Buin if you want the easiest Klosters week: next-to-lift convenience, proper comfort, spa recovery and barely any faff from first coffee to last chair.
Best Beginners Hotels in Klosters
Your first ski week is not the time to “earn” your breakfast by clomping across half of Klosters in ski boots.
This is a polished, good-looking Swiss village, but it is still the Alps, and the easy-looking stroll on Google Maps can feel rather less charming when you are carrying skis, wearing too many layers, and trying not to miss ski school.
For beginners, the best hotel choice is the one that keeps mornings calm. Prioritise somewhere close to the main uplift, the ski school hub or an easy ski bus stop, rather than chasing the prettiest view from the far edge of the village. Klosters suits learners who want a more grown-up, relaxed base than a full-throttle party resort, but convenience still matters.
Look for boot rooms that actually work, breakfast times that do not make lessons stressful, and simple access back to town if tired legs call time early.
These picks are all about making the week feel smooth, not heroic.
Did you know Klosters has a 16th-century Walser time capsule?
Nutli Hüschi in Klosters is a restored farmhouse dating to 1565 and has been a museum since 1925, showing pre-1850 village life.
★★★
- Village 1.5 km from Klosters centre / Klosters Dorf
- Lifts - a few mins walk to Madrisa
- Wellness area - none
Madrisa Lodge is a cracking beginner pick if your ski week is about making life feel simple rather than glamorous.
This is in the quieter, more forgiving Klosters side, and being close to the Madrisa gondola means you are not doing the sweaty “new boots, big walk, mild panic” shuffle every morning.
The hotel itself is family-run, unfussy and cosy, with 30 rooms in different categories and a proper lodge feel rather than a shiny resort machine.
It suits first-timers, families and mixed-ability groups who want a calmer base with a softer start to the day.
Food is homely, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the big practical win is that beginners can keep the routine repeatable: breakfast, boots, short stroll, lift.
No drama, no faff, no one crying into a piste map by 9.15am.
Why choose it? The easiest Klosters base for a gentle, confidence-building Madrisa ski week.
★★★
- Village between Klosters Platz and Klosters Dorf
- Lifts - 5 mins by ski bus
- Pool + spa
Hotel Sport is best for beginners who like a safety net: not just ski-wise, but comfort-wise too.
The ski bus stops just outside, with quick access to both Madrisa and Gotschna, so you can choose the mountain that suits your confidence level instead of being locked into one routine.
This is not the prettiest “step out onto the piste” choice, but it is very practical.
You get spacious rooms, proper family facilities, an indoor pool, sauna, children’s splash pool, games areas and plenty to do once the ski legs have turned to noodles.
It works especially well for families, first-timers and mixed groups where not everyone will ski bell-to-bell.
The food setup is easy half-board territory, and the vibe is active, friendly and forgiving.
The location trade-off is bus reliance, but for many beginners that is better than paying central prices and still hauling skis about.
Why choose it? Big, useful, beginner-friendly comfort with a bus stop doing the heavy lifting.
★★★★
- Village Klosters Dorf
- Lifts - ski shuttle / short hop to Madrisa
- Pool + spa
Sunstar Hotel Klosters is best for beginners who want comfort wrapped around the learning curve.
Here you get a quieter Klosters Dorf setting, proper wellness and a ski-shuttle setup, which is handy if your legs are still negotiating with gravity by day three.
This is a chalet-style hotel with a panoramic Alpine feel rather than a central high-street buzz.
The spa setup is stronger than most beginner-friendly bases: indoor pool, sauna and steam bath, so post-lesson recovery is nicely handled.
Rooms are comfortable and the general atmosphere is softer and more grown-up than rowdy, making it a good shout for couples, families and cautious first-timers who want the week to feel like a holiday, not a boot camp.
The trade-off is that you are not right by Gotschna nightlife, but for Madrisa learning days and quiet evenings, that is no bad thing at all.
Why choose it? Beginner-friendly calm with a proper pool-and-spa cushion at the end of the day.
Best Luxury & Spa Hotels in Klosters
With luxury in Klosters: it should feel quietly excellent, not just expensive with a fluffy robe chucked on top.
This is a resort with old-school Swiss polish, understated money, and that “nothing too shouty, thank you” feel, so the best luxury hotels tend to win on service, comfort, food and post-ski recovery rather than nightclub energy.
When choosing at the plush end, location still earns its keep.
A gorgeous spa is lovely, but less lovely if you are forever faffing with transfers to the main uplift.
Check whether a hotel is genuinely well placed for skiing, or simply “near Klosters” in brochure-speak.
Proper thermal areas, calm lounges, strong half-board, adult-friendly spaces and a good massage menu can make a big difference here, especially if your ski day involves big mileage across the wider Davos Klosters area. Klosters is classy, but it is not trying to be flash – and that is rather the point.
These picks bring the comfort without the unnecessary peacocking.
Did you know Klosters gives a royal nod on its main lift?
Klosters’ Gotschnabahn cabins are named “Prince of Wales”, a wink to the resort’s royal visitors since the 1950s without going full tiara-and-trumpets.
★★★★★
- Village central Klosters
- Lifts - short walk / quick hop to Gotschna
- 1000 m² spa
Hotel Vereina is the ‘treat yourself and don’t apologise’ pick in Klosters.
The bonus is its proper luxury feel: just 23 rooms and suites, a big private spa, polished service and a grown-up boutique atmosphere that feels calm rather than showy.
This is best for couples, luxe skiers and anyone who likes their ski week with soft lighting, excellent food and no clattering around in corridors at midnight.
The 1000 m² wellness area is the real deal, not a token sauna cupboard, and the food setup gives you that lovely “we’re not going out unless we fancy it” flexibility.
Location-wise, you are central enough for Klosters life and close enough to the Gotschna routine to keep mornings civilised.
It is not the budget-smart choice, obviously – Switzerland saw to that – but if you want one of the most refined stays in the village, Vereina sits very comfortably near the top.
Why choose it? Proper Klosters luxury: polished, peaceful and blissfully good after skiing.
★★★★★
- Village centre / opposite station and Gotschna
- Lifts - very short walk
- Pool + spa
Seven Alpina Boutique Hotel is for travellers who like their ski hotel stylish, central and a bit more sociable.
The win is the location: Klosters Platz station, the Gotschnabahn and the village action are all properly close, so you are not wasting holiday energy on logistics.
The rooms have been renovated in a mountain-chic style with plenty of wood, and the hotel adds a spa/pool setup plus a restaurant and bar scene that feels livelier than many Klosters stays.
This is a good luxury-ish choice for couples, friends and mixed groups who want wellness but do not want the entire week to whisper.
The WunderBar’s terrace, live music and DJ/après touches give it more personality, while the central position makes ski days easy.
It is not the quietest pick if you want monastic calm, but for stylish comfort with a bit of sparkle, it works nicely.
Why choose it? Stylish, central and sociable, with the lift routine kept pleasingly painless.
★★★★
- Village 200 m / quiet central Klosters
- Lifts - 4–5 mins walk to Gotschna
- Pool + spa
Silvretta Parkhotel is the premium family-and-spa all-rounder rather than the hushed boutique one.
Here you have great facilities: indoor pool, whirlpool, saunas, relaxation space, fitness, wellness treatments and multiple restaurants, all within an easy walk of the Gotschna lift.
This is a brilliant choice if you want comfort without making the week feel too formal.
It suits families, couples and mixed groups because there is something for everyone: a piano bar, bowling, proper wellness, half-board convenience and a central-but-not-noisy location.
The Gotschna cable car is about 400m away, while the bus stop for Madrisa sits close by, so ski access is nicely flexible.
The hotel has heritage too, with a long hospitality history, but it does not feel precious about it.
Expect classic Swiss hotel comfort, plenty of space and the rare Klosters setup where non-skiers will not feel abandoned.
Why choose it? Big facilities, easy lift access and enough comfort to keep the whole gang happy.
Tour Operators who go here
Best All Round Hotels in Klosters
Let’s call it what it is: all-rounder hotels have the hardest job in Klosters.
They need to keep skiers happy, non-skiers comfortable, couples relaxed, families organised and mixed-ability groups from gently bickering over whose idea it was to stay “somewhere atmospheric” but miles from the lift.
The sweet spot is a hotel that gives you easy access to the main ski links, a sensible walk into the village, reliable food and rooms that feel comfortable enough for a full week, not just a quick overnight. Klosters is a brilliant choice if your group wants charm, scenery and proper skiing without being swallowed by a mega-resort feel. But it rewards practical decisions.
A slightly less postcard-perfect hotel in a better position can easily beat a prettier one with awkward buses and a long boot-trudge. Look for easy transport, a decent breakfast, somewhere pleasant to sit after skiing, and enough flexibility that everyone can do their own thing without turning the holiday into logistics admin.
These picks are the safe bets – in the best possible way.
Did you know Klosters has a train that carries cars through a mountain?
The RhB Vereina car transporter links Klosters with Sagliains via a 19 km tunnel in about 18 minutes - very Swiss, very useful.
★★★
- Village 200 m / central Klosters
- Lifts - 5 mins walk
- Wellness area - none
Hotel Steinbock is a proper all-rounder for skiers who want central Klosters without paying top-spa money.
It is central, friendly and only around five minutes’ walk from the mountain train, so the ski routine is genuinely manageable.
This is a good pick for couples, solo skiers and small groups who care more about comfort, food and location than flashy facilities.
The rooms are modern and comfortable, the atmosphere is personal, and the restaurant leans into that warm Bündner-style mountain feel.
You also get the useful guest-card benefits, including local buses and the train connection between Klosters and Davos, which helps if you fancy exploring beyond one ski area.
The lack of a pool or big wellness zone keeps it from luxury territory, but that is also part of the value. It feels like a solid, sensible ski hotel – the kind you book and then stop worrying.
Why choose it? Central, reliable and friendly, with no expensive nonsense bolted on.
★★★★
- Village centre / by station and Gotschna
- Lifts - a few steps
- Wellness area - none
Hotel Chesa Grischuna is the character pick for people who want Klosters to feel like Klosters.
The bonus is its centre-of-town position, just steps from the station and Gotschna cable car, wrapped in history, timber, atmosphere and proper mountain charm.
This is not a big spa hotel, and that is rather the point. It is intimate, historic and food-led, with individually furnished rooms, a celebrated restaurant and a bar that gives evenings a lovely old-school ski feel.
It suits couples, traditionalists and skiers who would rather have atmosphere than anonymous square footage.
The lift access is superb, the train station is close, and the whole setup makes short breaks especially easy.
If you want silent minimalism, look elsewhere.
If you want creaking alpine charm, a good dinner and the cable car practically on your doorstep, this is a cracking little classic.
Why choose it? Old-school Klosters charm with one of the easiest Gotschna routines in town.
★★★
- Village edge of centre / Doggiloch area
- Lifts - easy walk / Selfranga nearby
- Wood sauna
Sport-Lodge Klosters is the all-rounder for people who prefer small, friendly and active over big-hotel polish.
It is family-run, uncomplicated, and close enough to village life without being right in the thick of it.
Rooms are simple but comfortable, with balconies, and the lodge has a lounge with fireplace plus a wood sauna for low-key recovery.
It works well for active couples, solo skiers, families and anyone who does not need a four-restaurant complex to feel looked after.
The location is good for the sporty side of Klosters, with Selfranga and local facilities nearby, while Gotschna is still reachable on foot or by local transport.
Breakfast is a proper local-products affair, and the mood is more “come in, warm up, feel at home” than luxury-hotel theatre.
Very handy, very human, nicely unflashy.
Why choose it? Small, sporty and friendly, with just enough comfort and no fussy frills.
Best Budget Hotels in Klosters
Let’s be realistic: “budget” in Klosters is doing some heavy lifting.
Klosters is one of those Swiss resorts that feels properly grown-up without being remotely stuffy: scenic, polished, low-key, and quietly rather special.
It’s got that “two vibes at once” thing nailed: traditional Alpine charm + smart mountain comfort, with easy access to the wider Davos Klosters ski area when you want to stretch the legs.
Hotels here tend to lean boutique, cosy, and classic rather than shouty, which makes Klosters a lovely fit for couples, families, and mixed-ability groups who like their ski week smooth, pretty, and just a little bit posh.
Book it before someone sensible does.
Did you know Klosters has its own family mountain?
Madrisa is Klosters’ landmark mountain, with children’s practice areas and an 8.5 km sledging run to Saas - brilliant for mixed groups with non-skiers.
★★★
- Village 500 m / central Klosters
- Lifts - around 10 mins walk or short bus
- Wellness area - none
Hotel Wynegg is one of the better value plays if you still want to feel properly in Klosters.
It keeps things simple and cosy, with a central-ish location and a reputation for good food, without charging like the big spa names.
This is best for budget-conscious couples, solo travellers and practical skiers who are happy to trade a pool for personality.
Rooms are simple and deliberately restful, and the hotel has leaned into calm rather than stuffing every room with gadgets.
ou are not right at the cable car, so expect either a manageable walk, a short bus hop or a bit of morning discipline.
The upside is a warmer, smaller feel and a restaurant that gives the stay more character than you might expect at this end of the Klosters market.
It is not a “cheap and cheerful” resort-box hotel; it is more “quiet, honest and local.”
Why choose it? A characterful Klosters value pick where you save without feeling short-changed.
★★★
- Village 2.5 km from Klosters centre / Serneus
- Lifts - bus or car to Madrisa/Gotschna
- Thermal pool + spa
Hotel Bad Serneus is a budget-friendly curveball, but a useful one if you have a car or do not mind being away from the main Klosters buzz.
The bonus is the mineral-bath spa setup, which is rare at this price level and excellent if recovery matters.
The trade-off is location: this is not a roll-to-the-lift hotel, and you will need to plan buses, taxis or driving to Madrisa/Gotschna.
In return, you get a quieter base, mountain views, a historic feel and access to wellness that includes indoor pool, sauna, hammam-style facilities and a hot-spring/mineral-bath angle.
It suits value hunters, wellness-first skiers and couples who would rather save on location and spend the evening soaking like smug little ski dumplings.
It is less suitable for first-timers relying on tight lesson timing, or groups wanting bars on the doorstep.
Budget win, yes – but only if transport faff does not annoy you.
Why choose it? A cheaper spa-led stay if you can live slightly outside the Klosters bubble.
★★★
- Village 100 m / central Klosters
- Lifts - very short walk to Gotschna area
- Pool + spa
Alpina Apartments is the budget-smart choice for travellers who can save by self-catering or sharing space, rather than chasing the lowest headline room rate.
Here you have flexibility: apartment-style living in central Klosters, with spa access and an indoor pool, can work brilliantly for families or groups splitting costs.
This is not the cheapest bed in the valley, but it can be better value once you factor in space, kitchen facilities and the ability to dodge every restaurant bill.
Location is strong, with the centre close and the Gotschna routine very manageable, so you are not sacrificing convenience in the same way you do with outlying budget stays.
It suits families, longer-stay skiers and mixed groups who want comfort but do not need full hotel pampering every night.
The vibe is more practical than romantic, but for a ski week where the spreadsheet matters, this is a very tidy way to play Klosters.
Why choose it? Central comfort plus self-catering flexibility – the clever-value route, not the bare-bones one.
Final thoughts from the team at Ski Demon
Klosters is a lovely choice if you want Swiss charm, beautiful mountain scenery and easy access to the wider Davos Klosters ski area.
It works especially well for couples, families and mixed-ability groups, with hotels that lean towards traditional Alpine comfort, quiet polish and a more relaxed village feel.
If you want a ski week that feels scenic, understated and properly Swiss without the big-resort bustle, Klosters is a very tempting pick.
