The hotel Olden consists of 16 charming and cosy rooms. Some of them can be combined to make ideal family suites. Each room is equipped with modern bathrooms, offering either a freestanding bathtub or a steam shower cubicle. The stone house built in 1899, decorated with traditional hand paintings done by Heidi Olden’, offers rooms facing the promenade, the car free main street, or to the terrace and at the chalet Marie is the comfortable Olden Suite’ that is adjacent to the lovely garden as well as a few other suites and rooms. All rooms thus offer quiet and comfort in the heart of the charming village of Gstaad.

"Traditional family run guest house hotel"
Hotel Olden
By Christoph Hargreaves-Allen
Quaint and cosy, and so small that it feels like a private residence, the Olden has intimate rooms and bedrooms, all furnished in a way that is delightfully idiosyncratic for a hotel. Original features abound, in the way of wood-bound and hand-painted cabinets, for example, and the place is highly personally managed, with friendly and attentive, informal-style service. The Olden is very quiet and countrified - think of big, brown rawhide sofas in the drawing room. The bedrooms in this charming, traditional edifice, with its white front and peppermint-coloured shutters, have been renovated to state-of-the-art standards, and the style is high while remaining understated; discreet and un-commercial. It’s the closest thing you can get to staying with friends in Gstaad, and it’s been the place to stay for a long, long time. The restaurant below is renowned for its food. Be warned, there are a limited number of rooms. The Magic Mountain.com
