It was my
first travel to Switzerland. I have never been to the country that is actually
just around the corner of Germany and promises an incredible landscape. I have
been excited for weeks to finally go on this trip..
As most of
you can imagine I have a stressful and hectic day and during the weekend all I wasn't
is some time to calm down and spoil myself. I guess most of you can agree when
I say that having a weekend trip is always a good idea. Weekenders are just
perfect to explore new places and get a quick but sufficient impression of a
city. For my weekend of the penultimate weekend of the month February I decided
to go on a trip to Switzerland for a ski weekend, with a stay at the Hilton
Garden Inn Davos.
Switzerland
hosts so many different cities with various influences. On my journey to Switzerland
I also decided to visit Davos, a small valley which is a 3 hour train ride
distance to Zurich. I have never been to a ski vacation before. As Davos is the
perfect place to go for such a winter wonderland impression I just had to do
this trip.
I was very
lucky to be hosted by Hilton hotels. I always wanted to do a ski-
"weekender" and staying in the Hilton Garden Inn Davos was just the
perfect hotel to stay at. The hotel is located just a few bus stops from the
"Parsenn Bahn", where all the trains are available to enter and drive
up to the mountains. Also the bus station is only a few steps from the hotel
entrance.
For guests
arriving with the car the hotel also offers a car park with many spots. Right
now it is high season over here in Davos and the small valley that is covered
in snow, is extremely crowded. However the Hilton Garden Inn Davos offers 146
modern and big rooms on four floors. As always Hilton provided all kind of
standards in pleasure, business and personal, so as individual services.
The Hilton
Garden Inn hotels are a special hotel range of Hilton. All Hilton Garden Inn
hotels have a Pavilion Pantry minimarket, which offers guests a range of snacks
and even meals. Also microwaves are easy accessible for guests and a fridge is
places in each room.
The Hilton
Garden Inn Davos also offers a laundry room for ski guests. On top guests have
free access to the 240m² fitness- and health club, including a sauna and a
steamed bath.
On the main
floor guests will find the restaurant, which is opened for breakfast and
dinner. The breakfast starts at 6:30AM and closes by 10AM during the week and
11AM on weekends. There is the free option of ordering individual meals from
the card or to eat from the buffet. In each case the Hilton Garden Inn Davos
has also options for specials diets. I have been extreme amused by the fact
that the Hilton Garden Inn Davos is so well prepared for vegans, offering
special products and even gluten free options.
From 6PM on
the restaurant opens for dinner. Again the Hilton Garden Inn Davos offers a
huge menu with various options for each kind of taste and special diet. I also
enjoyed dinner at the restaurant and have been served by amazing and dedicated
staff. Also during the breakfast I was amazed by the personal service. Also the
restaurant offers a show kitchen which is definitely worth a visit. As always
there is of course room service available.
During my
stay I made it to my mission to explore the whole offer of the Hilton Garden
Inn Davos, which was not that easy as there is a lot to see and do. First of my
room was simply perfect. A huge bed by the company Serta Perfect Sleeper made
it easy to calm down in the evening. Also the entertainment in the hotel is
great. With a big TV on my room, offering all kind of national and international
channels, I have been able to enjoy my favorite series and movies. The best
entertainment has been my balcony. I had an adorable view on the snowy
landscape and the congress centre. Also worth to mention is that each of the
146 rooms has an own balcony.
The lobby
has a decent but lovely fireplace with comfortable seats to get cozy. Also a
shelf is located next to the fireplace with different games to have fun with
family and friends, or meet new people and to get in touch.
Within my
whole stay I was always connected and online. A free internet service is given through
the whole hotel in a high quality and a fast speed. This is always a very important standard for
me as I always have to work or check my emails sporadically and of course post
articles in social media.
For people
who are very active through their weekend trips the Hilton Garden Inn Davos is
also providing a complimentary guest card with witch one has free access to
public transport and some other sightseeing. Also one will enjoy many discounts
and specials.
I've
enjoying my trip to the fullest and got an amazing impression of Davos and the
winter sport activities. Davos is a great spot to visit and the train ride from
Zurich airport is comfortable and easy. Thanks again to the Hilton Garden Inn
Davos for hosting me on my first ever ski experience. I'll make sure to come
back in summer and explore the mountains again and take part in the hiking
offers.
