The Hotel Alpina (081-4102424, fax 081-4102425; €€€) has a great location, one of the best restaurants in town, indoor pool, nice staff, and reservations can be made through Best Western.

Perhaps the most traditional hotel is the Chesa Grischuna (081-4222222, fax 081-4222225; €€€; right). It is part of the Romantic Hotel chain, but though it has ambiance, the rooms are small and there is no pool.

The Walserhof (081-4102929; €€€) rounds out the top tier of Klosters hotels and restuarants. It is a Relais and Chateau property and a member of the Grand Tables. The hotel restaurant is exceptional.

At the upper end of the scale is the four-star Hotel Pardenn (081-4232020, fax 081-4232021; €€€+). A hike from the ski shuttlebus and 10 minutes walk from town. It has plenty of five-star comfort—pool, sauna and fitness room.

The Sunstar Albeina (081-4232100; fax 081-4232121; €€; photo right) is recommended by Michelin and is a bit less expensive than the Pardenn. Other recommended hotels are the Steinbock (081-4224545; €€) and Silveretta Park (081-4233435; €€€) only a short walk from the lifts.

The tiny, 11-room Hotel Rustico (081-4221212; fax 081-4225355; €€–€€€) is only steps from the lifts and downtown. It gets rave reviews from locals and tourist press for meals and comfort.

Sporthotel Kurhaus (081-4224441; fax 081-4224609; €–€€) with 30 rooms is highly recommended for both meals and rooms.

The Cresta (081-4232600; fax 081-4232610; €€+) also has a very good restaurant.

Sonne (081-4221349; €), a traditional B&B, is inexpensive and convenient.

The less expensive lodging is in Klosters-Dorf, which is near the lifts for the Madrisa area but a hike, train ride or shuttlebus ride from the Parsenn lifts. Try Jost (081-4223344; €), Büel (081-4222669; €) and Casa Erla (081-3225275; €; photo below), a group of condos with kitchenettes for only €34 a night per person.
