Grand Hotel Kronenhof
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Grand Hotel Kronenhof is worth booking if you want the highest-rated hotel among our Pontresina picks and are happy with a formal 5-star style, dress code included. If you prefer a relaxed evening or want the best value, our 4-star Best Value pick scored almost the same for less.

Kronenhof is our Luxury pick in Pontresina. It suits travellers who want a classic 5-star experience with a spa, pool and gym on site. Family rooms are also listed, along with a restaurant, garden and terrace.
Guests give it 9.4 out of 10 from 256 reviews, the top score among our three picks and first of the three properties we compared.
Skip it if you dislike dressing up for dinner. A formal dress code is the one recurring frustration in guest feedback. Skip it also if you want the best price for a high score, as Hotel Walther came very close for less.

What guests say
Staff earn consistent praise: guests describe a professional, friendly and attentive team that gives helpful service.
Breakfast is also a highlight, with guests describing a delicious and varied buffet with high-quality options.
The main criticism concerns dining. Guests rate the food highly and like the setting, but the formal dress code causes frustration for some. Pack accordingly or ask the hotel about the rules for each restaurant.
