Hotel Terrace : Terracestrasse 33, 6390 Engelberg

The location of this hotel is simply magical. It overlooks over entire Engelberg and is everything one imagines when they think of Switzerland. The hotel service is fine and the buffets are also quite diverse. But you have to drag your luggage through two different levels (thankfully they have installed lifts now). But inside the hotel there is only one lift for all the guests that too was not spacious at all! The rooms are nice and clean. But the rooms facing the backside of the hotel don't have a good view at all. Luckily we got a front facing room. Another problem was the lack of any ACs, ventilation or ceiling fans! I get that it's Switzerland (it's a cold place), but the temperature was 24 degrees Celsius when we visited! It was suffocating unless you keep the balcony open all night. Crime wasn't a problem obviously but the insects were! So that was kind of a bummer. Also there was no ventilation in the bathrooms? At least we didn't think so (we found out the hard way 😅). Anyways the spectacular view made it all worth it.

Overall, it was an amazing experience to stay here. My birthday trip was blissful as I stayed here at the Hotel Terrace. December 2024. Had to walk through two tunnels and take three lifts before I entered by room. that was thrilling and exciting. The hotel is in a mountain and my room was in third floor, the view was breathtaking. Loved the stay at Hotel terrace. Reception staff were amazing, they were polite and understanding. Breakfast room staff were great, they were friendly and responsive to requests. The breakfast buffet had a lot of choice and the food was delicious. The breakfast room/hall spacious with a view. Would definitely stay there again when I visit in Summer/Autumn. Reception staff even offered to click pics of me when I was saying goodbye.

The hotel is very beautiful, built in an old style, yet still maintains the classic design. If you get a good price, I recommend it
