Guarda Golf Hôtel & Résidences
Modern alpine chalet — warm and cozy without being rustic. Think solid wood furniture, bespoke artwork, Bulgari toiletries, and a 15-seat private cinema named after Sir Roger Moore (a loyal friend of the hotel). Intimate rather than grand. The kind of place where staff know your name by the second day.
The Grand Sunday Buffet (CHF 120/adult, includes a glass of champagne) is the social event of the week in Crans-Montana — book ahead even if you're staying at the hotel
Why It Matters
Michelin Two Keys rating, 14 GaultMillau points for Restaurant FIVE, member of both Swiss Deluxe Hotels and Leading Hotels of the World. The hotel sits directly adjacent to one of Europe's most storied golf venues — the Ballesteros course — and hosts guests during the Omega European Masters each September. Genuinely family-owned and operated.
Guarda Golf is a family-owned five-star hotel sitting right on the fairway of the Severiano Ballesteros championship golf course in Crans-Montana. Opened in 2009, it operates only in summer (June–September) and winter (December–March) — a deliberate choice that keeps the experience intentional and the service impeccably tight. Just 23 rooms and suites plus 6 sprawling 225 m² suite apartments, all clad in dark wood and Italian limestone, with Restaurant FIVE pulling 14 GaultMillau points for its Levantine cuisine.
Where You'll Stay
