The Maloja Palace was a wonderful surprise. Our room was a suite which included a refrigerator, hot plate, kettle, sink and dishware. We also had a table and chairs, two couches and a nice TV with English, Spanish, Italian and German programs. The bedroom was comfortable although the mattresses are quite firm and we always bring our own pillows. The bathroom was very small, but lovely. The shower was hot and the tub was relaxing after a day of skiing. A hair dryer was provided along with hand soap, a vanity kit and a shower cap.
The common areas of the hotel are charming, comfortable and intriguing. There are blown up posters and photos of the building's history all around which makes for a fun stroll through the corridors.
Our one disappointment is the lack of information that the hotel staff could give us on basic things like riding the bus. We asked how much a bus ticket cost per person to ride into Sankt Moritz, and we were told "I think about 11 Swiss Francs". The ride is maybe 15 minutes, so this seemed too much. We drove everywhere since we could not get good information about bus lines and prices. They also were very little help when we asked about winter hiking and parking in the area. Our advice? Stay at the hotel, but do your research before coming to the area. The TI office wasn't much better. It seems the people in the tourism business of this area know little about being a tourist. :)
We did not eat breakfast at the hotel because of the cost, but we ate in our room and prepared sandwiches from fresh bread and groceries for our lunches in order to save money in this expensive area.
There was a small gym in the basement with a treadmill, some free weights, etc. We did not use the sauna b/c of the cost and our other interests.
