We went to Vals for the Therme, but chose this hotel as we thought it to be better value for money than the Hotel Therme. This indeed turned out to be the case. Perhaps in response to the popular Zumthor-desgned spa, Alpina Hotel also stresses its interest in architecture and design. There are several books and periodicals on architecture available... More

We had gps issues getting to Vals from Ronchamp and wound up arriving there 3hrs late. Which meant we missed our massage and entry to the Therme Vals booking that we'd made months ago. By this time we were somewhat frazzled and the lovely woman behind the desk rebooked these things for us for the next day and I don't... More

We stayed at Hotel Alpina following an extended stay in Vals. We had been staying at the Therme but due to the short notice of our stay, the Therme was fully booked so we were recommended the Hotel Alpina. The hotel notified us that the room would be small however it was very warm, clean, comfortable and functionable and just... More

My wife and I spent five days in Vals and we stayed at the Hotel Alpina as advised by a friend. The hotel is a great value-for-money place. They can also get you discounted tickets to the Vals Therme! Our room was very comfy and well designed, but we already expected that... What it was a surprise for us was... More

We recently stayed 3 nights at the Hotel Alpina and enjoyed it very much. I am an architect and we went to Vals to see the baths. We decided to stay at the Hotel Alpina for the lower cost rooms than the Therme Hotel, but knowing what I know now I would choose to stay there again. When we checked... More

Do not miss the Therme Vals when visiting central Switzerland. Based upon reviews we read on this website, we decided not to choose for the Therme Hotel, but the Alpina. Since prices in Vals are high anyway, we decided to go for the most expensive renovated rooms, designed by Architekt Gion A. Caminada which are CHF 110 per person per... More

We love Vals. Even if it's several hours away from home, the beautiful thermal baths will still drive us there for a week-end. And what better place to stay there than the beautiful Alpina? If you're looking for kitschy chalet-style accommodation, you will be disappointed. If however contemporary architecture with a touch of Alpenchic is more your style, this is... More

If you are interested in architecture / design and want to visit Peter Zumthor's Therme at Vals, you might want to consider staying at the Hotel Alpina instead. They have discounted public entry available for their guest to the mineral baths, and the hotel has been modernised now throughout (I believe) by local architect Gion A. Caminada. My girlfriend found... More

This small hotel in the central place of Vals is a hidden gem.Everything is so different in this hotel,even if it's difficult to say what's different(perhaps the customer,so fashionable and stilish-we had a very famous model in the same days we were staying there),you will miss the mood when back home.Room are clean and (mine) newly designed.They took us away...
