Cubicle Dreamin': Luxurious Views in Davos

Where: Buolstrasse 3, Davos, Switzerland, 7270

Cubicle Dreamin' is a feature in which we ask the hotel mavens to take some time out of their busy work day, surf the Internet, and tell us what hotel they wish they could beam themselves to right that very second--all on the slave driving companies dime, of course. Oh, like these people aren't surfing aimlessly anyway--at least now their purposeless clicking will be cobbled together into useful hotel stories--we hope. Have a destination hotel you are just dying to leave your cube for? Send the story our way.

In this episode, Hotel Maven Amanda K picks out her first choice if she ruled the world. Enjoy.

With pictures of smiling politicians being beamed around the world this week from Davos, Switzerland, I got to thinking about where I would stay if someone would put me up in Davos for a week. And my pick is the luxurious Waldhotel Bellevue Davos. Management is very proud about it living up to the "beautiful view" name:

It commands a breathtaking view over the picturesque town, down the valleys to the distant peaks. Year round, the panorama is captured by every south-facing balcony - and almost every bedroom has one! The gastronomic restaurant, too, makes a feast of the view! So does the umbrella's terrace!

Okay, we're not quite sure what the last bit means, but the gist is definitely "we have perfect views". It also features a typically European "Wellness" center and a saltwater indoor pool. Proud, too, of a visit from Thomas Mann, the gourmet restaurant Mann und Co. bears his name, and boasts plenty of good wines to go with the French and regional food--and a five-course candelit dinner. Prices are not quite as scary as you'd expect, though they come close to doubling in the winter ski season. But what would you expect for the world's best view?
