A great choice in Samedan
Very nicely modernised old building in the middle of Samedan. Good and popular wine bar and separate restaurant. Great breakfast. Owners present daily but great service from staff too. Nice lounge area. Parking extra and tight. No dedicated spa area but free access to town spa.

Wonderful, stylish and friendly hotel. Love all the pine wood and the design that manages to be both modern and traditional at the same time. Terrific breakfasts, possibly the best we had in Switzerland (which is saying something). Delicious dinners in the intimate wine bar; wish we could have further explored the huge book of available wine. We chose Samedan somewhat randomly (didn't want to stay in St Moritz and needed to be on both the Glacier and Bernina Express lines) and ended up really loving the area.
Don't miss the mineral spa. We might have shrugged it off - don't do that, it's such a nice and special place. We should have gone more than once!
One last perk of the hotel that came in very handy was the regional transport card which saved us a lot, especially on gondolas and lifts in the area.
Wish we could have stayed longer! Hope to come back someday.

comparado aos preços de St Moritz, foi ótimo...
Foi ótimo o hotel até nos deu direito a usar o SPA da cidade que foi maravilhoso, a única coisa que não achamos bom é que fica uns 15 minutos de St. Moritz e, o acesso de õnibus era um pouco difícil nesses feriados de Natal

Rundum tolle Unterkunft. Kleines Hotel mit allem was man braucht. Die Zimmer sind gross, sehr gemütlich und sauber, tolle Betten und Bettwäsche. Der Service ist zuvorkommend, freundlich und hilfsbereit (bsp Wasserkocher aufs Zimmer). Frühstück in einem sehr schönen Raum mit allem was man braucht und sehr freundlichen Service. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Hotel Donatz - Samedan
Hotel bastante confortável.
Funcionários da recepção muito atenciosos e cordiais.
Localizado bem próximo à estação do trem e pontos de ônibus.
Hotel oferece transporte público gratuito.
Não utilizamos o SPA porque não levamos roupa de banho. Foi uma pena.

Ankommen, wohlfühlen und geniessen!
Obwohl wir oft im Engadin sind, waren wir bisher noch nie im Hotel Donatz. Aber dies wird sich ändern, denn wir waren restlos zufrieden vom Hotel, dem tollen Restaurant, der Weinbar und der Gastfreundschaft!

Schön aber Parkplatzproblem
Schön aber grosses Parkplatzproblem
Hotel hat sehr wenig eigene Parkmöglichkeiten. Und in der Umgebung hat es auch kaum freie Plätze. Mussten 10 Min zu Fuss einen öffentlichen belegen, was auch hiess am Morgen vor dem Frühstück nochmals einzuwerfen. Sehr mühsam.
