Krone Säumerei am Inn
Historic Alpine boutique with a contemporary, art-forward interior. Cozy rather than grand. Strong sense of place — think local blacksmith-made cutlery, sgraffito murals, and artwork by names like Not Vital and Albert Steiner throughout the corridors.
Book La Chavallera at the same time as your room — the restaurant fills up independently of the hotel and is open Tuesday–Saturday evenings only
Why It Matters
La Chavallera, the in-house fine-dining restaurant, earned a Michelin star just three months after opening in mid-2022. Chef James Baron previously helmed Amber at the Mandarin Oriental in Hong Kong, ranked in the Top 50 restaurants in the world. The hotel is one of the very few places in the Upper Engadin where the dining genuinely drives people to book a room — not the other way around.
Opened in 1565 as a trading post and coaching inn along the Engadin valley's old muleteer routes, the Krone has been thoroughly reinvented without losing any of its bones. British chef James Baron and his Thai-Swiss wife Natacha took over and stripped things back to the essentials: 18 rooms in native larch and serpentine stone, a Michelin-starred fine-dining restaurant, a more casual Alpine bistro, and a sauna tucked into the historic fabric of the building. The Inn river runs right outside.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Double Room
From CHF250 / nightSolid native larch throughout, with the same fragrant, calming quality as the single rooms but with more floor space. Well suited to short stays or off-season shoulder breaks. Designer bathroom included.
Double (1.80m x 2m) · 22 sqmDouble Room Chamuera
From CHF310 / nightNamed after the stream that runs alongside, the Chamuera sits on the ground floor and benefits from large windows that flood it with natural light. Open, generous layout with a luxurious bathroom. The stream view and easy garden access set it apart from the upper-floor rooms.
Double (1.80m x 2m) · 37 sqmDouble Room Superior
From CHF310 / nightLocated on the second floor, this room takes a different material approach — local maple wood and gleaming Poschiavo serpentine green marble instead of larch. The modern bathroom features an infrared panel in the shower for deep-heat therapy, and a colour-programmable cube lets you set the ambient lighting mood.
Double (1.80m x 2m) · 27 sqmJunior Suite
From CHF340 / nightRenovated in autumn 2022, the Junior Suite features solid native larch and a separate lounge area — useful for longer stays. High-end bathroom and state-of-the-art in-room technology. The separate lounge is a genuine addition, not just a bigger room.
Double (1.80m x 2m) · 35 sqmSingle Room
From CHF150 / nightThe smallest room in the house, finished in solid native larch that gives the space a warm, resinous scent. Compact but well-fitted, with a designer bathroom and all current in-room technology. Good for solo travellers on short stays.
Single (1.10m x 2m) · 15 sqmSuperior Comfort
From CHF330 / nightThe most spacious of the standard-category rooms, combining maple, larch, and Swiss stone pine for a layered sense of warmth. Infrared panels in the bathroom and an adjustable colour-light cube are the technical highlights. Good for guests who want generosity of space without paying suite rates.
