The Property — b smart motel Landquart
The b smart motel Landquart is a clean, no-frills roadside stop designed for drivers: think grey-blue exterior, a check-in kiosk, and rooms that are compact but spotless. It sits right off the A13 motorway, making it a practical choice for anyone crossing the Alps or visiting the nearby Landquart factory outlet. The lobby is minimal — a small desk, a coffee machine, and a vending machine; you feel this is a place for sleep, not lingering. It suits travellers who value efficiency over atmosphere, especially those on a tight budget or overnight transit.
Chronicles of Igis
Igis, now part of the Landquart municipality, grew from a medieval farming hamlet along the Landquart river. The area rose to modest prominence in the 19th century with the railway and later the A13 motorway, both of which turned it into a transport hub in the Rhine Valley. The historic village core retains a few old stone houses and a 13th-century church, but modern Igis is defined by retail parks, the outlet centre, and industrial estates. Today it’s a functional, commuter-heavy town with little tourism charm — a gateway to the Grisons rather than a destination itself.
Best Time to Visit
Full Igis guide →Best months
June to September offer warm, sunny weather and long daylight hours, perfect for hiking in the nearby Prättigau valley or visiting Chur. May and early October are also good, with less crowd pressure on the motorway.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the busiest, driven by European summer holidays and the tourist influx into the Graubünden mountains. The motel's prices remain low (around CHF 90-120/night) because it’s a budget stopover, but advance booking is wise for August. The nearby Landquart outlet also sees peak shopper traffic on weekends.
Budget shoulder season
May and September are ideal: temperatures are mild (15-22°C), accommodation costs drop slightly, and the motorway traffic is lighter. You'll have the outlet centre and nearby hiking trails almost to yourself.
Weather & packing
The region can have sudden afternoon thunderstorms in summer, even if the morning is clear. Always pack a waterproof jacket and a light fleece, even in July.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to b smart motel Landquart, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first floor or higher, facing away from the main road (Landquartstrasse). The upper floors give slightly better insulation from street noise and a clearer view of the surrounding valley or mountains.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms, especially those near the reception or breakfast area, as they can pick up lobby noise and early-morning clatter. Also avoid rooms directly overlooking the car park or service entrance, which can be busy with delivery vehicles in the morning.
Best views
Ask for a room on the east or south side of the building, overlooking the fields or the hills toward the Rhätikon range. The north side faces the road and the industrial area.
Quietest floors
Floors 1–3 are generally quieter, as they're above ground-level noise but not so high that lift machinery or roof equipment becomes an issue.
🔊 Noise notes
Igis is a village along the Landquartstrasse, a main road linking Chur to the A13 motorway. Expect some traffic noise during the day, but it quietens significantly at night. Early morning (6–7am) can see delivery vans and farm traffic.
Insider tips
If you're driving, park at the rear of the hotel – quieter and easier access to the lift. Check in before 8pm if possible, as the reception is often unmanned after that (key box available). Request a room with a balcony if you want fresh air without the street noise.
- 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
