The long white façade of the hotel with the Davos mountains behind

Steigenberger Icon Grandhotel Belvédère

Name: Steigenberger Icon Grandhotel Belvédère
Address: Promenade 89, Davos Platz, 7270, CH
Telephone: +41 81 415 60 00

The grand hotel’s white façade runs balcony after balcony, with the Davos mountains behind.

A week here, month by month

I would stay at the Belvédère when I want to get around Davos on foot: the door opens onto the Promenade, among shops, restaurants and museums. Several guests find the rooms a little dated: anyone after new interiors should look elsewhere.

Is it for you?

For 2, book the Romantic Getaway: a night with breakfast and a 3-course dinner.

I’d ask for: The aroma relaxation massage: 40 minutes for CHF 130, 50 for CHF 180.
Worth knowing: Restaurant Belvédère serves dinner from 6.30pm to 9pm.

The last day
On departure day the hotel keeps your luggage, leaving a few more hours for Davos. The hotel will run you to Davos Platz station free of charge: just ask.
On foot from the door
The Kirchner Museum is across the road. The Kurpark and the Vaillant Arena are about 5 minutes on foot.
Before an evening out
The spa also has a hairdresser and beauty treatments: before a special dinner, a 50-minute manicure costs CHF 130.

What the Belvédère is

The Belvédère is a 5-star hotel in Davos Platz with 96 rooms and 30 suites, a spa with a pool, and restaurants ranging from Graubünden specialities to French cooking. It has been one of the World Economic Forum’s hotspots since 1971: in January 2017 the pool was drained so that the spa could serve as a meeting room. Around it lies Davos, which at 1,560 metres is the highest town in the Alps.¹²³

The 5 things that matter, as guests tell them

What do Steigenberger Icon Grandhotel Belvédère’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 reaches much of Davos on foot. Another counts 4 or 5 bus stops to the Parsenn lift.
Room
6 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. One guest finds the Superior roomy, with a bath, a shower and a separate WC. Another lands in a very tight room, where the bathroom can only be entered sideways.
Staff and service
8 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. One guest says the front desk booked dinners in town and arranged transport. Another, in the bar for a coffee, has still not been served after a quarter of an hour and leaves.
Breakfast
One guest calls breakfast excellent. Another would like a more carefully laid buffet, and praises the dinner instead.
Price
One guest finds the price almost good value for the quality. Another, paying around €700 a night for a Junior Suite, expected more comfortable beds and pillows.

How we count

What	Guests’ score	Guests who mention it	Happy
Location	8.2	25	92%
Room	6.4	31	61%
Staff and service	7.7	62	76%

Price	–	13	46%

81 guests said so on Google, from 29 November 2024 to 10 October 2026. Includes meals and other visits without overnight stays, as well as booking experiences. 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 day at the Belvédère

In the morning

Breakfast until 11

In winter the Restaurant Belvédère buffet runs from 7am to 11am, in summer until 10am. It is the room the hotel names for its best views.

After the slopes

The sports massage

After a morning on skis, the sports massage lasts 80 minutes and costs CHF 180. Book it before heading up the mountain.

In the afternoon

The Cultural Package

The Cultural Package combines a night with breakfast and admission to the Kirchner Museum exhibition.

In the evening

Romeo & Julia, then the Carigiet

In winter, Trattoria Romeo & Julia is the place for an Italian dinner. Afterwards, cocktails at the Carigiet Bar & Lounge run late into the evening.

After dinner

The smokers’ lounge

The hotel is non-smoking, but it keeps a lounge for smokers: after dinner, that is where to light up.

Away from the Zurich heat

A family books a Junior Suite at the last minute to escape a Zurich heatwave. They find plenty of storage for the 4 of them and a lovely balcony, plus a few touches for the children: their own toiletries and chocolate eggs beside the fruit bowl.

Ask for a front-facing room

One guest advises asking for a front-facing room: those at the back look onto the slope, though they do not feel dark. The bathroom in that room had only a bath, with no shower.

What is the history of the Belvédère?

The hotel opened on 17 July 1875: it began as an elegant boutique hotel and grew into today’s fin-de-siècle palace. Erich Kästner set his novel «Der Zauberlehrling» here, Maurice Chevalier performed here and Arthur Conan Doyle was among its visitors. Robert Louis Stevenson arrived in Davos in 1881 with writer’s block and, by the time he left, had finished «Treasure Island».¹²

Who owns the Belvédère?

The building belongs to A. Steigenberger Immobilien GmbH. Since 1 July 2024 the hotel has been leased to HR Group, a Berlin-based hotel group, and today it carries the Steigenberger Icon brand.¹²

Why was the Belvédère closed?

In 2020 it stayed shut for the pandemic from April until 11 December, and was partly renovated during those months. This autumn it closes between 11 October, the last day of arrival, and 27 November 2026, the first.¹²

Where can I park, and what does it cost?

In the private car park in front of the hotel, at CHF 19 a night. On departure day the car can stay until noon; after that, another day is charged. The hotel also has a charging station for electric cars.¹

Can I bring my dog?

Yes, at CHF 25 a day per animal, food not included; mention it when booking. Dogs are welcome at Voilà, while pets are not allowed in the Arvenstübli.¹²³
