einen wunderbaren Herbsttag in Vals
Pros:

Das Dorf Vals ist beeindruckend durch seine Einheitlichkeit. Das Hotelzimmer war zwar klein, aber optimal eingerichtet, so dass man gut zurecht kommt. Die Bäder waren schnell erreichbar, und man kriegte alles was man brauchte. Die Öffnungszeiten für Hotelgäste sind grosszügig, so dass man das Wellness-Erlebnis voll auskosten kann. Wir hatten das spezielle Glück, dass wir herrliches Wetter hatten, während es in der übrigen Schweiz grau war, und wir die herbstliche Landschaft geniessen konnten.

An amazing weekend away in a beautiful location.
Pros:

An absolute must to experience especially as an architect. The hotel has direct access to the Therme Vals. The setting is just magical.

Cons:

A bit confusing if you’re approaching from the street, as there’s no reception in the House of Architects building. You have to go to the main building in order to check in.

The room was gorgeous with a view of the hills. The spa was very relaxing. A wonderful weekend!
Pros:

The room was beautifully designed with a lovely view of the hills. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Really hight quality service. They kindly brought cakes for my partner's on his birthday at breakfast and also later to our room. The breakfast had a great selection. The hot chocolate was especially good! Last but not least, the Spa was stunning. I loved the variety of baths, from very warm to temperate to cold plunges and a really hot steam room. The night swim under the stars was beautiful. We had a really wonderful stay at 7132.

Cons:

There was a slight clicking sound outside of our room that was affecting our sleep. Perhaps it was a broken light sensor. That was the only thing, the rest of our stay was very comfortable.

Wonderful relaxing stay at 7132 House of Architects. Great way to experience the work of Peter Zumthor.
Pros:

Loved our stay at 7132. A very relaxing place to spend a few days. Outstanding Therme experience. Architecturally a wonderful place.
We also loved the village of Vals, small but pretty. Great hiking on the area aswell.

bien sans plus, l'hôtel vit sur une réputation un peu dépassée
Pros:

les termes super beaux, le petit déjeuner très copieux. Personnel très agréable et réactif à nos demandes.

Cons:

louer une chambre de 20m2 avec petit déj pour 460.- c'est indécent! Le desing c'est bien mais faut pas exagérer:commandes électriques vacillantes, armoires "cachées" sans boutons de porte, pas de nespresso!

Topbeleving
Pros:

Het gehele pakket van architectuur, ligging in prachtige vallei (Vals als dorp is prachtig, tot stuwmeer is aanrader), badencomplex (bereikbaar op slippers, ook snachts!) en wellness als optie is groots. Goed ontbijt. Personeel super. Unieke ervaring.

Cons:

Kamer was wat klein, niet echt voor verblijf. Dat je auto wordt weggebracht en opgehaald is voor mij niet nodig.
