Where to stay in Davos
Top-to-bottom runs and a village that knows how to host. Choosing the right area in Davos matters more than choosing the right hotel — a central room saves an hour a day, and an hour a day is a whole day on a week's trip. Rooms start from around $303/night.
The best areas to stay in Davos
The historic centre
If it's your first time in Davos and you're here for three nights or fewer, stay central. You'll pay a premium per night and win it back in taxi fares and walking time. Use Booking.com's map view and draw your search around the oldest part of town.
One neighbourhood out
The band just outside the centre is where Davos gets interesting and considerably cheaper — usually 25–40% less for the same standard of room, and a ten-minute walk or one stop on public transport from everything.
Ski-in / ski-out
In Davos, ski-in/ski-out saves you two boot-walks a day and pays for itself with children. If you're on a budget, look for properties on a free ski-bus route instead — the saving is significant.
How to choose in five minutes
Open the map view, drop pins on the two or three things you're definitely doing in Davos, then search only inside that shape. Filter to 8.5+ review score and free cancellation, sort by price, and take the first place with photos of the actual room type. That's the whole method.
