"Wellness" at the Parkhotel Waldhaus

The Swiss have a weird name for a spa. They call it "wellness" as if spending time at one will make you healthier. Anyway, we decided to give it a try and found a last-minute offer from the Parkhotel Waldhaus in Flims. It's an extravagant 5-star hotel with high ceilings, fancy chandeliers, and tunnels between the buildings. The tunnels are heated and have their own ambience with paintings on the walls and classical music playing. Our room was huge and included a balcony, living room with sofa, slippers, and bathrobes. Maid service was twice a day and two huge fruit baskets graced each floor. Very neat.

The spa was relaxing and clothing was optional. We spent a short time in the outdoor pool but found it not warm enough. We were pining for the Blue Lagoon in Iceland. We also enjoyed the aroma and steam baths, the quiet room, solarium, and gym. The entire "wellness" was followed by a 5-course meal at the hotel restaurant. The service, quality, and price were tops and provided some needed relaxation. Highly recommended!
