Gasthaus zum Rathaus

Twenty minutes on foot from Davos Platz station, Gasthaus zum Rathaus occupies address number one on Oberdorfstrasse — the quieter upper-village end that conference crowds rarely reach during the January World Economic Forum week. A 9.6 rating drawn from 68 reviews points to consistent, personal service rather than branded amenities.

The Davos Dorf ski lifts and the Schatzalp funicular both fall within a short walk, making early morning first-chair access straightforward. In summer, the Landwasser valley trail network begins effectively at the doorstep.

As a Gasthaus rather than a resort hotel, the format suits travellers who want proximity to the Parsenn ski area without the rates — or the lobbies — of the large conference properties lining the main Promenade.
