Precise Tale Seehof Davos

Positioned right next to the Parsenn funicular, which provides direct access to the ski slopes and hiking trails of the Swiss Alps, the Seehof Davos is one of the oldest hotels in town. Opened as a family-run guesthouse in 1869, the hotel was expanded a few times before it was snapped up by the German-based Precise Hotels & Resorts group and reborn as the luxurious Precise Tale Seehof Davos. Restorations preserved many of the building’s loveliest features — classic alpine architecture, a cozy fireplace-warmed bar, a breakfast room with mountain views — and additions include a state-of-the-art spa and an elegant bistro specializing in fondue.

The rooms and suites were thoroughly renovated, and though their amenities are modern, the look remains traditional. Most are lined in fragrant Swiss stone pine, with blonde wood floors and paneling, crisp white beds with plaid details, and framed landscape photography. Suites evoke the feel of a mountain chalet with decorative wood ceilings, wool rugs, spacious living rooms, and bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and recessed lighting. A few offer private balconies with mountain views. A trio of dining venues includes the Restaurant Chesa Davos, with outdoor seating on a picturesque terrace in summer or in a cavernous, chandelier-illuminated dining room in winter. Various other restaurants and bars are within blocks, and access to seven ski areas is just a cable car ride away.
