Hotel Bernina Pontresina

“Ihana vanhempi hotelli rauhallisessa kaupungissa”

Rakastimme Pontresinan Hotel Berninaa. Olimme siellä 2 yötä sen jälkeen, kun ajoimme Bernina Express -junalla Luganosta Pontresinaan ja ennen kiinni Glacier Expressiä Moritz-kadulla. Kohokohdat: He ottivat meidät rautatieasemalta, kun kerroimme heille saapuessamme, pyysimme vuoristonäköalaa ja saim… lisää

Rakastimme Pontresinan Hotel Berninaa. Olimme siellä 2 yötä sen jälkeen, kun ajoimme Bernina Express -junalla Luganosta Pontresinaan ja ennen kiinni Glacier Expressiä Moritz-kadulla. Kohokohdat: He ottivat meidät rautatieasemalta, kun kerroimme heille saapuessamme, pyysimme vuoristonäköalaa ja saimme suuren nurkkahuoneen, josta oli upeat näkymät, huone oli tahrattoman puhdas ja mukava, ja koko henkilökunta oli erittäin ystävällistä ja hyödyllistä. Me näytimme olevan ainoat englanninkieliset vieraat, mutta se ei ollut ongelma.

A Culinary Masterclass: Five Days of Gastronomic Bliss Over the past five days, Jaqueline and David have delivered nothing short of a culinary tour de force, a veritable feast for both the palate and the soul. From the very first bite to the last lingering flavor, their food has been a masterclass in precision, creativity, and passion. Every dish has been a triumph, showcasing an impeccable understanding of flavors, textures, and presentation. The balance between innovation and comfort was evident in every course, as they seamlessly combined bold, inventive ideas with the kind of warmth that makes a meal unforgettable. The ingredients—each carefully sourced and flawlessly prepared—stood as a testament to their commitment to quality. Whether it was a hearty main dish, a delicate starter, or a decadent dessert, the attention to detail was nothing short of extraordinary. The flavors were layered and complex, yet harmonious, leaving me in awe of their artistry. Their ability to craft meals that cater to a variety of tastes while maintaining such high standards of excellence is no small feat. It is clear that Jaqueline,David and the team cook not just with their hands but with their hearts, infusing each dish with love and soul. In a world where culinary mediocrity is all too common, Jaqueline and David remind us what food can and should be—an experience, a memory, and, ultimately, a joy. I can say with the utmost confidence that their creations over the last five days have set a new benchmark for excellence. Bravo, Jaqueline and David.

“Second time around”

Second stay, see my Aug 2016 review. All I said then still stands, except Sandra's no longer there, shame, but if anything the food is better, either that or my appreciation is affected by a less than satisfactory experience elsewhere last year. Different room, same floor, basin no longer in bedroo… lisää

Second stay, see my Aug 2016 review. All I said then still stands, except Sandra's no longer there, shame, but if anything the food is better, either that or my appreciation is affected by a less than satisfactory experience elsewhere last year. Different room, same floor, basin no longer in bedroom, which is odd as the rooms on the fire escape map appear the same size. Two chairs this time, so perhaps the room was bigger. Tripadvisor's headline photo of a somewhat luxurious chandeliered dining room is of the Hotel Bernina in Samedan, which I pointed out some years ago. Rooms are being renovated, and from what I glimpsed through an open door, very nicely, to a high standard. Which is only what I'd expect from the standards set by the hotel. I hope those staying in renovated rooms were paying more than us, but hope prices don't increase when the renovation is complete, which will make the hotel expensive, and is a contradiction, so I'll probably be disappointed. I thought the dated effect was an affectation, but the carpet in our room was very badly faded to judge from the colour away from the window, but spotless and not at all worn, just the colour had been taken.

“Perinteinen ystävällinen hotelli suurella vaellusalueella.”

Olemme pysyneet täällä 4 kertaa viikon loman ajan. Henkilökunta on erittäin avulias ja ystävällinen. Puolihoito on 5 ruokalajin ateria, jossa valitaan pääkurssi, mutta he ovat erittäin tyytyväisiä vaihtamaan valikkoa, jos et pidä kursseista. Ruoka on yleensä hyvä standardi.

Olemme pysyneet täällä 4 kertaa viikon loman ajan. Henkilökunta on erittäin avulias ja ystävällinen. Puolihoito on 5 ruokalajin ateria, jossa valitaan pääkurssi, mutta he ovat erittäin tyytyväisiä vaihtamaan valikkoa, jos et pidä kursseista. Ruoka on yleensä hyvä standardi. Engadine-alueella on ilmainen matkustus, joka kattaa kaikki paikalliset junat, linja-autot, köysiradat jne. Bussit kytkeytyvät useisiin linja-autoihin bussipysäkiltä, joka sijaitsee keskeisellä paikalla sijaitsevan hotellin ulkopuolella, ja rautatieasema on 10 minuutin päässä. Scenery upea.
