Unschlagbare Lage und historisches Gebäude
Pros:

Das Hotel Schatzalp ist eine historische Sehenswürdigkeit an phantastischer Lage!
Das Personal war überaus freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sehr gutes Frühstück.

Cons:

Die Preise sind für die Kategorie des Hauses sehr hoch. Andererseits muss ALLES zuerst mit der Seilbahn auf die Schatzalp transportiert werden. Wer von der einmaligen Lage begeistert ist, wird die Preise in Kauf nehmen.

Pros:

Wir kommen fast jedes Jahr einmal ins Hotel. Der morbide Charme ist fantastisch, die Aussicht und die tolle Umgebung ebenfalls.

Cons:

Es hat eigentlich nur Deutsche und Juden dort oben. Ist halt so.
Die Garage im Dorf ist sehr unübersichtlich und irgendwie gruselig. Auch hat mein Chip nicht funktioniert.

Eine Ruheoase
Pros:

Ein stilvolles, historisches Hotel an einem wunderbaren Ort mit grandioser Aussicht. Die Zimmer sind mit viel Liebe hergerichtet, man wähnt sich in einer anderen Zeit. Ein Ort voller Ruhe und Erholung.
Das Frühstücksbuffet lässt keine Wünsche offen. Sympatisch war auch, dass die übrig gebliebenen Kuchen einer Hochzeit serviert wurden und nicht einfach im Abfall landeten. Die Kuchen waren unglaublich lecker☺️

Cons:

Dass es beim Abendessen nicht möglich ist, aus einem Menu einzelne Gänge zu wählen, hat mich enttäuscht. Das sollte doch wie in anderen Restaurants auch möglich sein.

Ein toller wunderbarer Kraftort in einem geschichtsträchtigen Hotel.
Pros:

Außergewöhnlicher Ort, man spürt dort oben den Geist und die Epoche vergangener Zeiten. Ein Kraftort der Ruhe und Erholung.

Cons:

Das über Booking Com gebuchte Zimmer hatte mir nicht gefallen. Daher hatte ich vor Ort ein Upgrade von 50 CHF zusätzlich täglich zu dem schon bezahlten Zimmerpreis - der nicht niedrig lag - vorgenommen. Das Zimmer was ich bekommen sollte entsprach nicht dem Bild bei Booking Com. Durch das Upgrade mit zusätzlichen Kosten für mich war ich sehr zufrieden.

Die Lage der Schatzalp ist überwältigend. Ebenso, dass der Jugendstil-Bau überwiegend unverändert geblieben ist.

Pleasant
Pros:

The Building, if you are fan of Thomas Mann Der Zauberberg

Cons:

Last night we got sick and at 20:25h hotel could not provide (sell) anything to eat or a paracetamol. If you are an isolated hotel in a Mountain (you can't arrive by car) you need to be more resourseful. Personnel said they are sorry but didn't really seemed to care about us.

A magical place, that's slightly crumbling, but that's OK as it's part of the charm.
Pros:

There's magic in this hotel. One feels transported 100 or at least 80-70 years back in time, it is an art-nouveau gem, a capsule in time, with fantastic ambiance and beautiful interiors. The staff are extremely helpful and polite, giving a service much more appropriate for a 5 star establishment, and not a 3 star one - the status the hotel has now. Just looking out of the gigantic windows in the bar/foyer onto the fading light upon the mountains, while listening to Chopin being played on the piano and fire crackling in the fire place, sunbathing on the balcony, wandering the halls of the hotel and experiencing the "Magic Mountain" vibes is worth every penny! The breakfast was also amazing with plenty to choose from. And coming on and off the mountain via the hotel's funicular was something straight out of Wes Anderson's Grand Budapest hotel, which I feel the Schatzalp heavily inspired, just like it did Thomas Mann 100 years ago.

Cons:

So just be aware that this hotel requires a lot of imagination as it is in fact crumbling. There are no modern amenities of any king - even the radios in the rooms are at least 50 years old. It is all quite charming in fact, but for example all the rooms (even if clean) smell of the 100 000 of guests that passed through them through the ages (they are carpeted so small wonder). The family that owns the hotel stopped investing in it probably in the 70s (this was when our room was updated) and it really shows. Also - be aware that all rooms are different and that what you book on booking.com might differ from what you get (I booked something that looked like a charming room full of antiques and got a 70's room instead - it was fine, as the view from the balcony was great, but keep it in mind). Also - this is not a criticism, but if there isn't enough snow the private ski lifts are unusable (they do not have the ability to put artificial snow on the hotel's slopes) and also the sledge run gets closed for safety reasons. Make sure you take all this into consideration when booking. Also if this hotel were to be renovated the prices would make it unaffordable for mere mortals.
