The Property — Hotel Schweizerhof Morosani
The Hotel Schweizerhof Morosani is a solid, no-nonsense three-star in central Davos, a short walk from the main promenade and the Parsennbahn cable car. Think wood-panelled corridors, a small sauna, and a lobby that smells of coffee and pine — functional rather than flashy. It suits skiers on a budget in winter and hikers who want a reliable base near the train station in summer. You won’t find frills here, but the staff are efficient and the breakfast buffet does the job.
Chronicles of Davos
Davos started as a Walser settlement in the 13th century, but its modern life began in 1865 when a German doctor prescribed the high alpine air for tuberculosis patients. By the 1900s, sanatoriums lined the valley, turning Davos into Europe’s premier health resort. That medical past gave way to winter sports in the 1930s, and today Davos is best known as the host of the World Economic Forum each January — a curious clash of global elites and ski holidays. Architecturally, the town mixes Belle Époque hotels with functional postwar blocks; it’s no picture-postcard village, but the mountains make up for it.
Best Time to Visit
Full Davos guide →Best months
June to August for hiking, wildflowers and lake swimming at Davosersee; September for clear skies and fewer crowds; late February for reliable snow without the school-holiday rush.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak summer months for hiking and the annual Swiss Alpine Marathon in late July, which fills hotels and pushes prices 20–30% above shoulder season. January’s World Economic Forum also spikes demand and room rates, but it’s a niche corporate booking, not a tourist peak.
Budget shoulder season
May and early June get you fair weather, quiet trails and hotel discounts of around 15–25%; late September to October offers crisp autumn light and stripped-back prices before winter bookings begin.
Weather & packing
Davos sits at 1,560m — summer afternoons can hit 25°C, but cold fronts drop the temperature 10°C in under an hour, often with hail. Pack a waterproof shell jacket and long trousers every single day, even if the morning looks cloudless.
Live City Briefing — Davos
- The Davos Platz railway station is undergoing platform refurbishment until late 2026; expect temporary rerouting and longer transfer times on the Rhaetian Railway line from Landquart.

- The Parsennbahn cable car will run a reduced summer schedule on weekdays in July 2026 due to seasonal maintenance; weekend service remains normal, with last ascent at 16:30.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Schweizerhof Morosani, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the rear (south side) away from Promenade. These floors sit above street-level noise but below any roof-level machinery, and the rear orientation avoids the main road.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors facing Promenade (north side) – these are closest to the main street traffic, including delivery trucks and early morning road noise. Also avoid any room directly above the lift shaft (usually central corridors).
Best views
South-facing rooms on upper floors offer a view over the rooftops towards the Davos forest and mountains (Parsenn side), quieter and more scenic than the Promenade view. North-facing rooms see the main street and shops – busy but passable if you want to watch the town.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 to 5 are typically quietest, as they’re high enough to reduce street noise but not at the top where lift motors or rooftop vents may hum.
🔊 Noise notes
Davos Promenade is a main through-road with bus, car, and delivery traffic from early morning until late evening. On weekends, motorbikes and tour buses add noise. The hotel’s central location means some bar spillover from the ground-floor lounge until around 23:00.
Insider tips
1. Ask for a south-facing room when booking – the hotel often gives these to repeat guests. 2. Parking is at a premium in Davos; reserve a spot in the hotel’s small garage well ahead, or use the public car park behind the building (entrance on Talstrasse).
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
