The Waldhaus Sils hotel embodies some of the greatest design epochs of the 20th century, combining functionality with historical elements, such as the vintage switchboard, which now serves a purely decorative purpose (below).

“I would compare our hotel to a classic car, except it does not stand in a museum, roped off from your touch. As a guest you can take your place and actually drive it, so to speak. The Waldhaus is not a relic, rather, it is still here to be used for what it has been intended all along. For that to work, the hotel’s age and history must be more than a theoretical concept – they have to be something present, something you can feel and sense. The past should not be restored to a T, as if it had just come out of the shop. You should be able to feel the age.”
