Hotel Albris und Restaurant Kochendörfer — Restaurant in Pontresina

OK. So now we are starting to understand how the hotels in the Engadine work, as we hike town to town. And we are starting to realize that this is the way to go! And this hotel is the perfect place to base your vacation! What a treat it is! A warm welcome when we arrived (how do they know who we are???), plus the clerk showed us around the restaurant and walked us to our room. Our room was small, but I know they have larger ones, for when we return and want to stay longer! So we went to the restaurant for dinner - of course they knew who we are and took us to "our" table. We had our choice of 2 or 3 things for each of 4 courses, and it was all great! Returning for breakfast, we were told to go to our table - it was then that I suddenly "Got" how this whole half-board thing worked! (Hate to say this, but the husband was still clueless as to which table was "ours"!!) Then we talked to people who had been coming back to this place for 10 years and finding things to do/hike every year! This is THE place! We would definitely return here! Oh! And there is a Bakery and Candy store in the lobby - what could possibly be wrong...

We loved the sembra pine decorated room and the comfortable beds. Everything was very clean and well-arranged and we enjoyed staying here very much. The breakfasts were amazing, with everything one could want, and staff that was friendly and helpful. It was marvelous having the Konditorei attached to the hotel--one could smell the aromatic bread baking in the wee hours of the morning! The offerings at the restaurant were fabulous. We ate there two evenings, and we all agreed they were two of the best meals we had ever eaten. The front desk was so helpful, and the tins of shortbread given to us upon departure ensured that we continued to have lovely remembrances of our stay for several days afterward. The offer of a shuttle ride to the train station is a big plus. We loved our stay here and everyone who made it what it was. This is a wonderful hotel, in a wonderful location, and we enjoyed our stay here...
