The Property — Hotel Davoserhof
Hotel Davoserhof is a straightforward, no-fuss 3-star in the centre of Davos Platz. The lobby feels like a mid-century Alpine lodge that's been well maintained but never trendified — wood-panelled, quiet, with a small bar off to one side. It suits skiers in winter and hikers in summer who want a clean, reliable base without paying for four-star extras. The USP is location: it's a two-minute walk from the Schatzalp gondola station and right on the main street, which makes getting out of town fast.
Chronicles of Davos
Davos began as a medieval farming commune in the 13th century, but its modern story started in the 1860s when German doctor Alexander Spengler promoted it as a high-altitude tuberculosis cure. Sanatoriums and grand hotels sprouted up, and the town became a winter sports pioneer — the first ski lift in the world was installed at Bolgen in 1934. After the war, Davos reinvented itself as a year-round conference and skiing destination, most famously hosting the World Economic Forum every January. Architecturally, it's a hotchpotch of Belle Époque chalets, 1970s concrete blocks and modern glass, none of which are pretty alone but together give the town a stubborn, functional character.
Best Time to Visit
Full Davos guide →Best months
July, August and early September: warm enough for high-altitude hikes, the main lifts run daily, and the weather is more stable than in June. Crowds are moderate — you won't queue for the funicular.
Peak / festival surge
Early February (WEF) and Christmas/New Year are absolute peak. WEF turns the town into a fortified compound with extreme hotel prices (three to five times normal). Christmas week fills every room a year ahead.
Budget shoulder season
Late September and mid-June give you 15–20% lower rates, quieter trails and fewer tourists on the slopes. The weather is a gamble — you might get sun or snow — but refundable bookings make it low-risk.
Weather & packing
Davos sits at 1,560 m — even in July, afternoon thunderstorms can drop the temperature to 8°C in minutes. Pack a waterproof shell and a warm mid-layer regardless of the forecast.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Davoserhof, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request higher floors (5th and above) for better mountain views and reduced street noise. Corner rooms on the south side catch more sun and avoid lift traffic.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms directly above the restaurant/bar (typically ground floor or first floor) can get noise until late. Rooms facing the main street (Promenade) on lower floors suffer from traffic sound, especially in ski season when buses run early.
Best views
South-facing upper floors offer views of the mountains and valley; north-facing rooms look onto the town and hillside but may have less direct sun.
Quietest floors
Floors 5 to 7 are quietest, away from the street and public areas.
🔊 Noise notes
Promenade is Davos’s main road, so morning traffic and ski buses start around 7am. Hotel restaurant/bar may have chatter until 10pm. No mention of a disco but standard 3-star après-ski bar noise is possible.
Insider tips

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Swiss Franc, CHF
Use ATMs (Bancomat) for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport or tourist offices as they charge poor rates and high fees.
Cards (Visa, Mastercard) are widely accepted everywhere; contactless and mobile pay (Apple Pay, Twint) are common even in small shops and taxis.
Service is included; rounding up to the nearest franc or leaving 5-10% for excellent service is fine but not expected. Taxi drivers appreciate rounding up; hotel staff no tip needed.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →Black coffee (filter) from a supermarket café or bakery kiosk: around CHF 4-5.
Soup of the day or a bratwurst from a market stand or cheap restaurant: around CHF 15-20.
A main course in a mid-range restaurant (e.g., rösti or pasta) costs CHF 25-35; cheaper options are pizzeria takeaway or supermarket self-service hot food (CHF 12-18).
Few street-food stalls; budget eats are found in supermarket hot counters (Coop, Migros) or simple pizzerias/takeaways in the town centre.
Migros and Coop are the main budget-friendly chains; Denner is slightly cheaper for basics.
Limited affordable high-street shopping; the Coop City and Migros stores in town have basic clothing sections; most people buy in bigger cities like Zurich.
The DavosKlosters public bus day pass (within zone 11) costs CHF 9.50; from Zurich Airport take the direct train (CHF 40-50 with half-fare card).
Buy a Swiss Travel Pass or Half-Fare Card if staying more than a few days; shop at Migros/Coop for takeaway meals instead of eating out; fill reusable water bottles at public taps — water is excellent and free.
