Switzerland Charming Small Hotel Guides 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

I love this guide book! This is one of two guide books on Switzerland that my husband and I took with us on our honeymoon. We had no itenerary - we just drove from town to town staying at hotels listed in this book. Each one was superb leaving nothing to be desired, and this is from seasoned travelers with high expectations.

The book is divided into regions and has good maps showing the hotels proximity to one another. Each hotel has a color photo and a detailed description of its history, ambience, and accommodations as well as the cuisine for which some of the hotels' restaurants are known. Many of the hotels listed in this book are in Relais & Chateaux.

Good But There are Better 4 out of 5 stars.
25 of 26 people found this review helpful.

I have been to Switzerland many times. Recently I sat down with my daughter who has worked at a hotel at Interlaken in Switzerland during her years in Business Administration at McGill - up to last summer - and we went over the Switzerland guides to see how they ranked, and what was currently the best guide in our humble opinions. We are not experts but have certain requirements and preferences. It helps if one can get a feel for the area in advance of a trip, and generally that is helped by good maps and color photos. So those guides do better in our review. We like to make reservations by internet and telephone and just use the Guide as a "guide".

Generally it costs more to publish a book with color photos so when all else is reasonably equal, one feels that they get better value with a guide with photos. Also we wanted to see if the ambiance at certain hotels and resorts was accurately portrayed in the text based on our knowledge. So those aspects of the guides determine our ranking. Incidentally all the books are excellent. When we did our review the new DK Eyewitness guide was not yet available, but in any case it will be short, under 400 pages.

For the Swiss guides we separated the guides into three groups, 5, 4, and 3 stars.

5 Stars (this group has nice color photos plus maps and text).

A. Green Guide to Switzerland published February 2001 by Michelin, 395 pages, $14., ranked 24,380 on Amazon.com, 0.64" x 9.4" x 4.7", lots of photos, maps, text, accurate portrayal of areas. Gives a nice idea of what you will find. Goes right down to small villages in detail even though it is just 395 pages. First choice.

B. Lonely Planet Switzerland published July 2003, 335 pages, $ 14., ranked 29,913 on Amazon.com, .69" x 6.42" x 6.5". Solid effort, lots of good photos and descriptions.

4 Stars (this group mainly text and maps).

C. Rough Guide to Switzerland published June 2003, 704 pages, $13.27, ranked 30,209 on Amazon.com, 1.08" x 7.8" x 6.38". Solid effort lots of things to see and do and best "text and maps only" books.

D. Frommer's Switzerland published February 2003, 512 pages, $15.39, ranked 47,638 on Amazon.com, 1.1" x 8.5" x 5.08". Similar to Rough Guide but shorter.

E. Fodor's Guide to Switzerland 42 edition, published December 2002, 448 pages, $14.7, ranked highest in group on Amazon.com at 3,172, 1.2" x 8.98" x 5.01". The smallest in the group, do not know why it is so popular?.

3 Stars

F. Michelin Red Guide published in 2004, 563 pages but in four languages: Italian, French, German and English so English sections are just a fraction of the book.

Editorial Review:

You'll find great places to stay for every taste and budget, including grand hotels, luxury ski resorts, intimate inns, and affordable chalets, plus the latest on dining, from fresh lake trout and hearty farmer's plates to fondue bourguignonne. You'll rely on our complete sightseeing guide, from cosmopolitan cities to charming alpine villages--with all the best outdoor adventures, shopping, and nightlife. Don't leave home without it!

Editorial Review:

Stamping Grounds follows the Liechtenstein national football team through their defeat-strewn qualifying campaign for the 2002 World Cup. It was hard to see this principality's part-time players scoring even one goal, never mind adding to its meager international points total. So what motivates a nation of 30,000 people and eleven villages to keep plugging away despite the inevitability of defeat? Travelling to all of Liechenstein's qualifying matches, Charlie Connelly examines what motivates a team to take the field dressed proudly in the shirts of Liechtenstein despite the knowledge that they are, with notably few exceptions, in for a good beating.

Editorial Review:

This guide is written in English and German to give an introduction to the mountains of Liechtenstein; a tiny and unique principality that should be on every serious walkers list of places to experience. Venturing beyond Liechtenstein's surreal capital, Vaduz and straying off the beaten track it is hard to imagine a nicer and more scenic place anywhere in the Alps. Enough routes are provided to fill a two week holiday thereby allowing the walker to explore every corner of the principality.

The book provides route guides and hand drawn maps for use by walkers of all levels of experience enabling them to gain an insight into the varied and challenging mountains of the worlds' fourth smallest country. Ten routes are provided along with suggestions for joining them together to give longer tours or to shorten them if time or energy are limited. All routes are also suitable for fit and well controlled dogs.

Liechtenstein is a tiny principality bordered by Switzerland and Austria. Most tourists visit the toy-town like capital Vaduz and continue out of the country. The author hopes that this book will inspire readers to venture into the principality and to discover the impressive mountain scenery, the friendly locals and the fabulous refreshments available from the Alps. More than that, readers will discover unspoilt valleys, lonely mountain paths and exquisite alpine flowers accompanied only by the sound of the wind, tumbling streams and the squealing of the marmots.
