Valsana Hotel Arosa
Industrial-alpine chic. Retro textures and pop-colour upholstery meet raw wood and stone. Feels design-forward without being cold — locals and guests mix freely at the Twist terrace, and the hotel genuinely acts like Arosa's living room.
Book a Panorama Junior Suite or higher for a direct lake view — the west-facing balconies with Obersee below are a genuine highlight
Why It Matters
Carbon-neutral operation run entirely on geothermal energy and an ice battery. Two Michelin Keys. Member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World and the Tschuggen Collection. The only property in Arosa to combine this level of eco-engineering with proper luxury design and a serious wellness programme.
Perched at 1,800 metres on the edge of Lake Obersee in Graubünden's Arosa valley, the Valsana is a four-star-superior mountain hotel that opened in 2017 and immediately rewrote the rulebook on what an alpine stay can look like. Three interconnected buildings combine industrial-chic interiors — think embroidered armchairs, oak parquet, designer wallpaper, vintage turntables in every room — with genuine sustainability credentials: the entire property runs without fossil fuels, powered by geothermal energy and an ingenious ice battery. It has earned two Michelin Keys two years running.
Where You'll Stay
8 room types available
Corner Junior Suite
The industrial-chic design gets its fullest expression here — embroidered armchairs, designer wallpaper, and oak parquet create a genuinely stylish room. Corner positioning means more natural light and wrap-around views.
Lifestyle Double Room
The entry-level room and genuinely well-sized for the category. Chalet-style neutral tones, sustainability at the core. The north-east balcony faces the forest rather than the lake, but it's a genuine outdoor space, not a token Juliet rail.
King or Twin (200x200cm) · 39 sqm
Loft Junior Suite
A loft-style suite with a staircase to the upper floor, open-plan sleeping and living area, and large windows. The designer wallpaper and industrial furnishings make this the most visually distinctive room type in the hotel.
One Bedroom Suite
A full suite with a kitchen — useful for longer stays or guests who like the option of self-catering. The artisanal elegance of the interiors sits alongside genuinely functional kitchen facilities. Large windows frame mountain landscape.
Panorama Double Room
Same modern chalet feel as the Lifestyle room but with the key upgrade: a south-facing balcony and mountain panorama rather than forest-only views. Harmonious neutral tones throughout.
Panorama Junior Suite
The name earns its keep here: direct views of the Graubünden mountains and the Obersee lake from a west-facing balcony. At 46 sqm with eclectic furniture and generous proportions, this is the most compelling mid-tier option.
King or Twin (200x200cm) · 46 sqmPremium Double Room
More space and natural light than the standard doubles. South-facing balcony with unobstructed mountain views. Good pick for guests who spend time in the room rather than just sleeping in it.
Two Bedroom Suite
The largest configuration — a 3.5-room suite ideal for families or two couples. Fully-equipped kitchen, designer wallpaper, embroidered armchairs, and oak parquet throughout. Eco credentials built into every material choice.
