7132 Hotel on Postcard

"These Peter Zumthor-designed thermal baths pay homage to the Swiss region ’s natural hot springs, discovered more than a century ago. Accessed only by guests of the 7132 Hotel , House of Architects , and 7132 Glenner (three properties under the 7132 brand umbrella), the baths were made from 60,000 slabs of Vals quartzite, and have a sensual, mystical feel. Granted protected heritage status, the highly mineralized water hovers around 86 degrees Fahrenheit, and on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, the baths may be enjoyed until 1 a.m. Spa services including massages, body wraps, facials, and scrubs are offered in addition to the unique bathing experience. You’ll have to leave your electronic devices back in the room though, as they aren’t permitted in the tranquil thermal bathing area." - Stacey Lastoe

"Therme Vals, the thermal baths designed by architect Peter Zumthor, have long been regarded as a masterpiece, the sort of place where architecture and design junkies make pilgrimages to commune with the quartzite temple that houses the geothermic waters. And now, in Hotel 7132, this village has a hotel that’s worthy of sharing space with the famous spa." - Le Guide MICHELIN

"With its thermal baths crafted from 60,000 slabs of local quartzite by none other than Peter Zumthor, 7132 Hotel Vals—named after the area’s postcode—is a destination for both wellness and design. For its House of Architects sister hotel, 7132 tapped Tadao Ando, Kengo Kuma, Thom Mayne, and Zumthor to create a series of Zen-like suites overlooking the Grison mountains."

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel 7134 in Vals, and it was truly a memorable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the stunning architecture and the serene surroundings. The hotel seamlessly blends modern design with the natural beauty of the Alps. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and attentive, making sure I felt right at home. My room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. The highlight was definitely the breathtaking views from my balcony. The hotel’s spa facilities were a true oasis. I enjoyed relaxing in the thermal baths, which were both rejuvenating and tranquil. The on-site dining was also outstanding, with a delicious menu that showcased local ingredients.

Worst spa I've even been to. The big pools are too cold and the big straight walls make it feel even colder. It feels like a prison yard. People are constantly moving around and also looking at each other, because there's nothing else to look at and no relaxing and comfortable place to stay and relax. It is both socially and physically uncomfortable. It is very loud because of the echoing walls, feels like you're in a full bazaar of bustling voices, not relaxing at all. The sauna has just big uncomfortable stone slabs and there also no sense of privacy, very socially awkward, so I didn't see anybody staying long at one spot. People were constantly moving around. And there were more people in the chairs than in the pools because that was the only comfortable place. The architecture feels cold, soul-less and everything is straight and boring and nothing feels organic, warm and relaxing. This place is all about the architecture and not about the visitor. Cold, uncomfortable, boring.

The service here was over the top too good. It was almost too good where I felt bad how nice people were here… Spa was great! Although I wish the spa was a little bit hotter outside, it was still very relaxing. Hospitality was amazing here and the breakfast with the view made it so much better. Very great stay for two nights.

Absolutely love everything about my stay here. We had the best breakfasts we have ever had, with heavenly coffee. The combination of a massage with the thermal baths just about made me start floating. The village of Vals is also absolutely stunning as a backdrop. I will miss the sounds of cowbells tinkling in the distance.

I give the location of this hotel a 10/10. It's an easy and refreshing drive from Zurich, making it a perfect getaway. As architecture enthusiasts, we were impressed by the design of the hotel. The spa is exceptional, offering a truly relaxing experience. We also dined at the Silver restaurant, which is excellent and ideal for special occasions. However, there were a few disappointments. Over the course of our two-night stay, we encountered three instances of rude behavior from staff members in the main restaurant, which is quite concerning. There was no coffee machine in the room. On one occasion, I went to the lobby at 7:10 AM to do some emails, I understood that breakfast starts at 7:30 AM, but I assumed it would be possible to get a simple coffee beforehand. Instead, I was met with a staff member who, rather than politely explaining the situation, expressed visible frustration and told me the service wasn't available yet.. I'm not sure if this is typical of the Swiss-German hospitality style, but at 350 CHF per night, it certainly didn't leave a good impression.

As an architect it was truly an incredible experience. But design excellence aside, the staff was incredibly pleasant and helpful. Very kind. I would recommend this to anyone with the highest of accolades.

Bad all the way through: you pay 1000 for a weekend but you need to pay extra for a fried egg at breakfast, a drink costs you 22 CHF, you cannot bring the mobile phone to the SPA, you cannot keep your stuff at a pool chair, you cannot fully darken the room, rooms are small, the reception lady asks you if they can bring the car later because the guy that brings it is in a break, service is rude and pushy when bringing new food to the buffet. You are basically ripped off here so don't come.
