The Alpina Gstaad holds a respectable B Roch Rank. This Swiss retreat offers a decent experience for dog owners, though there are some caveats to consider. While dogs are welcome on the terrace and in public areas, they are not allowed in the restaurant, which can be a hassle if you plan to dine in. The CHF 80.00 per day fee is on the steep side, especially since it doesn't include food, and there are no weight or number restrictions, which is a plus for those with larger breeds or multiple dogs.
Amenities are a mixed bag here. The hotel provides dog beds, bowls, and even free treats, which is a nice touch. However, there's no dedicated dog space or garden, so you'll need to rely on nearby parks for walks. The lack of dog-sitting or walking services means you'll need to plan your outings carefully, as dogs can't be left alone in the room. This can be a significant inconvenience for those looking to explore the area without their canine companion.
On the plus side, the staff is trained to handle dogs, and there's an emergency vet on call, which shows a level of care and preparedness. However, the requirement for liability insurance and the potential for additional cleaning fees might deter some travelers. Overall, The Alpina Gstaad offers a good, but not exceptional, experience for dog owners. If you're willing to pay the fee and manage the restrictions, it can be a pleasant stay.
