Total serenity

The House of Architects has super easy access to the Spa and our room was really comfortable and a great design experience also all the staff were really friendly and welcoming . We didn't dine in the restaurant the vibe was a bit too formal for us. The town of Vals is also a lovely area to walk around and further up the valley the reservoir has great views.

Wer Kunst mag, wird diese Unterkunft lieben. Die Zimmer im House of Architects sind mit vielen Ideen ausgestattet, die man entdecken kann. Die Zimmer sind relativ klein, weswegen wir keinen langen Aufenthalt in dieser Kategorie empfehlen würden. Das Essen im Haupthaus ist hervorragend, das Hotel Personal sehr zuvorkommend und professionell, die Therme einzigartig. Die Architektur des Haupthauses spricht für sich, auch wenn alle Häuser für den Laien nicht konsequent umgesetzt wurden (so wurde zum beispiel für unseren Geschmack das Treppenhaus noch zu stark in der Ur-Form gelassen), was aber sicherlich so geplant war. Die Therme sollte nicht fotografiert werden, haben aber leider heute Morgen direkt einen gesehen, der sich nicht dran gehalten hat. Leider sehr schade, da wir finden, dass man den Wunsch des Hotels respektieren sollte.

Das Hotel war sehr gut alles in allem. Das Preisleistungsverhältnis ist ok. Der Zugang zum Spa und Thermen- Bereich ist inbegriffen und sehr sehr cool. Auch cool war es das es 2 Restaurants gibt im Hotel (beide sind super). Schade war das wir einige Probleme mit der Dusche und dem Lavabo hatten, was aber sofort geregelt wurde. Auch muss ich sagen ist es schade hat es im WC kein Lüftungssystem. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber und am Ende unseres Aufenthalts bekamen wir eine Stofftasche mit hausgemachten Brot und Valser-Wasser, das war sehr nice und cooles Souvenir.

Toller Kurztripp

Wir hatten ein Mayne Stone Zimmer. Das Zimmer war wie erwartet sehr speziell mit vielen kleinen Gadgets ausgestattet und sehr schön. Die Zimmer sind einfach sehr klein und auf dem Balkon fehlen definitiv ein kleiner Tisch und Stühle. Der Spa ist wirklich wunderschön, er ist direkt erreichbar ohne das Hotel zu verlassen was super ist. Da es Sonntag war konnten wir auch zum Nachtbaden von 23 Uhr bis um 1 Uhr. Auch das Essen im Restaurant war exzellent und der Service liess keine Wünsche übrig.
