Mountains reflected in the outdoor thermal pool

7132 Hotel

Name: 7132 Hotel
Address: Poststrasse 560, Vals, 7132, CH
Telephone: +41 58 7132 000

The mountains reflect in the water beyond the thermal baths’ dark stone walls.

I would come here for a soak followed by a light-filled room facing the mountains. On Mondays, the hotel and all restaurants close at 12pm: I would plan the stay around that.

Is it for you?

For 2, the Spa Deluxe bathtub gives me a reason to spend part of the evening in the room.

I’d ask for: The room with a free-standing bath and a shower with a steam-bath function.
Worth knowing: Treatments can be cancelled until 24 hours beforehand; later cancellations and no-shows are charged in full.

Night bathing
On Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, the night session runs from 11pm to 1am. I would choose one of these evenings to return to the water after dinner.
Sunday at Silver
Sunday lunch at Silver starts at 1pm. Booking the CHF 290-per-person menu and CHF 175 drinks pairing includes a one-way limousine transfer within 50 km for 2 or more guests.
Arriving for a Penthouse stay
Penthouse stays include a helicopter or limousine transfer within Switzerland. For the helicopter, the return transfer is to and from the nearest landing field and depends on the weather.
The anniversary in the baths
For the baths’ anniversary on 11 December 2026, the package starts at CHF 2,380 for 2 nights and 2 people. Arrivals are on 10 or 11 December; it includes a presentation by Peter Zumthor, the concert and 4 courses at Red.

What 7132 Hotel is

How we choose the hotels

The 5 things that matter, as guests tell them

What do 7132 Hotel’s guests say? They write it in their reviews, even those who only came for a drink or dinner: we read every one and tell the 5 things that matter, from the location to the bill.

Location
9 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. One guest watches the mountains change with the light from the room; another finds little to do nearby and gets bored.
Room
8 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. One guest remembers fresh flowers and a handwritten note after an upgrade to Spa Suite. Another describes a very clean room controlled by iPad, without identifying the category.
Staff and service
A family remembers the welcome during 4 Christmas nights in a 5-star Spa Suite. A solo traveller instead describes 2 visits to the bar without being served.
Breakfast
One guest especially appreciates the in-house bakery. Another remembers eggs Benedict made on wholegrain bread at their request.
Price
One guest finds the bill justifiable only at a favourable room rate. A restaurant visitor, without an overnight stay, finds the club sandwich overpriced.

How we count

7132 Hotel in numbers
What	Guests’ score	Guests who mention it	Happy
Location	8.4	30	87%
Room	7.7	23	83%
Staff and service	8.1	65	75%
Breakfast	7.9	8	88%
Price	–	17	41%

83 guests said so on Google, from 31 October 2024 to 19 October 2026. Includes meals and other visits without an overnight stay. The other hotels are assessed on the same 5 themes. The score is the average of what they say, from 0 if they speak of it very badly to 10 if they speak of it very well. Where only a few mention something, the score stays close to the guide’s average: a handful of voices does not make a reputation.

A table at Silver

At Silver, I would settle in for the chef’s cooking, with 2 Michelin stars and 18 GaultMillau points. Dinner runs Thursday–Sunday from 6.30pm.¹²

Getting here

Your day

In the morning

Breakfast at Silver

For 5-star hotel guests, Silver serves a separate breakfast each morning, with à la carte dishes. I would start the day at this table before heading out.

From 7am

The first hours in the water

The baths open to hotel guests from 7am; non-residents enter from 11am. I would make use of the morning before the day visitors arrive.

Between swims

Stone in the massage too

The Valser Hot Stone Massage uses valley quartzite stones for a full-body massage, preceded by body brushing. It lasts 90 minutes and costs CHF 250.

For an aperitif

The Blue Bar counter

The bar team make cocktails and snacks in the lobby. A negroni here feels like a good way to move from bathing to dinner.

In the evening

Red’s classics

At Red, the chef serves branzino and Crêpe Suzette flambéed at the table. Dinner runs Wednesday–Sunday, 6.30pm–10.30pm. I would finish with the crêpes.
