Spa Profile: The Dolder Grand Spa
We interviewed Kronenhof Spa Manager, Nadine Böning Soare, who shared more details about the spa’s amenities, treatments to try, insider tips, and more.
The hotel features stunning architecture and includes 112 rooms and suites.
Why You’ll Love It: Visitors of Kronenhof Spa are enchanted by breathtaking views of Staz Forest, Swiss pine, and Larch trees hugging the property. The compassionate and friendly spa team stands ready to dissolve the stress of a hard day, providing a quiet oasis that guarantees rejuvenation and relaxation.
An array of specially curated treatments awaits guests; whether they opt to breathe in the refreshing mountain air on the Spa's outdoor yoga platforms, submerge into a pool of relaxation enhanced by underwater music, or indulge in waterbed singing bowl meditation sessions, the experience will be one of a kind. Those seeking an extra boost will find that the daily sauna infusion rituals—including music, ice elements, and various scents—are bound to set the tone for a perfect day.
Guests can participate in yoga sessions on the spa’s outdoor platforms while surrounded by nature.
Key Features: Almost every room at Kronenhof Spa offers stunning views of the Engadin Valley to enhance visitors' time with us. Amongst many of the Spa's treasured areas, guests will find a relaxing space and unique private spa suites that offer delicately designed Swiss pine wood ceilings adorned in special Engadin woodcarvings.
Another favorite is the Relax Floating Grotto, accompanied by underwater harmonies and stunning light reflections. Two separate saunas enchant guests; one a classic Finnish Sauna (80-90°C) and a Bio Sauna set to 60 °C. Those looking to enjoy all the Engadin Valley offers will be excited to find direct access from the Spa's pool, sauna, and separate “ladies only” relaxation area, to the lush garden area and winter snow.
The spa garden offers beautiful views of the trees and lush greenery.
Snacks Served: The Spa offers visitors special Engadin herbal tea, flavored waters, and fresh and dry fruits and nuts to enjoy while at the Spa.
The indoor jacuzzi includes floor-to-ceiling windows that offer views of the outdoors.
Bonus: All Spa guests are greeted with a warm welcome towel to kickstart their relaxation and a memorable heated Alpine herbal neck pillow following treatment. Several treatments offer extra exceptional amenities, such as the fresh shot of aloe juice following your Pharmos Aloe Facial or a curated beverage depending on the chosen element in our 5 Senses Massage.
Guests indulging in a massage will be pleased with the starting ritual at the beginning of their treatment and the warm foot towel following. The Kronenhof Spa also grants guests unique access to lavender eye pillows if they so please.
The luxuriously sized indoor swimming pool offers stunning mountain views, a counter current system, and relaxing underwater music.
Insider’s Tip: Although there are a wide array of things we wish everyone could enjoy, we recommend that all guests wake up and try our early-morning fitness sessions, which are held on the yoga platforms overlooking the running river. It is the perfect wake-up call.
Another must-try is the Tibetan Singing Bowl Meditation on the Spa's heated waterbeds and the daily sauna infusion rituals with Sauna Master Elena. We recommend that those available join us for our once-a-month Spa & Cocktail night.
Guests can relaxing in the floating water grotto which features gentle wave projection and underwater music.
Unique Treatment: The Kronenhof Spa offers a holistic 5 Senses Massage targeting all five elements while stimulating all five senses. We use different aromatic essences, colors, and massage techniques to enhance guests' experience. A unique beverage is served following the treatment, based on whether the guest chooses their targeted element by color, essence, or focused body area.
The spa amenities also include a dry sauna.
Splurge Treatment: We recommend that those seeking an ultra-luxe "splurge" treatment try the Valmont Facial. The therapy aims to boost energy, luminosity, and firmness using Swiss high-tech cell cosmetics and a rejuvenating collagen mask.
The Private Spa Suite can be booked for two hours and includes a hydrojet tub, water bed, and steam bath.
Insider’s Favorite: My favorite treatment is our simple yet effective individual Massage. Your massage therapist will customize your massage based on your needs and wishes, using techniques such as "Breuss," energetic work, cupping, and more.
The spa also offers Spa & Cocktail Nights where guests can enjoy drinks and a relaxing atmosphere.
