Those in the know are aware that Wes Anderson's Grand Budapest
Hotel has a real-life counterpart in the Swiss Alps: the Waldhaus
Sils, which has pleased and puzzled visitors for 111 years and
become an icon of Swiss hospitality. Located above the small and
pretty village of Sils Maria, near St Moritz, it overlooks a
striking landscape of forests, lakes and mountains and offers a
combination of belle epoque flair and modern comfort. Its
distinctive charm comes from the fact that the Waldhaus has been
family-owned and operated ever since its grand opening on 15 June
1908. 111 Years of Waldhaus Sils ranges across the hotel's life and
history. Brief essays look at the hotel's history and the broader
context in which it exists. The book also shines a light on
colourful members of the owning family and their dreams and work,
interspersed with conversations with people who have known them.
Beautifully illustrated with newly commissioned and historic
photographs and documents, it is a tantalising glimpse into the
life of an exceptional hotel in one of Europe's most spectacular
landscapes.
