Hotels Own Introduction
A Cultural Retreat in the Engadin
Welcome to Chesa Marchetta, a warm and intimate 13-room hotel with a 46-seat restaurant, set in the heart of Sils Maria—the cultural soul of the Upper Engadin Valley.
Rooms with a Story
Each of the 13 bedrooms, individually designed by Luis Laplace, blends traditional Engadin furniture with artworks by local artists and artisans. From the top-floor family suite to the standard, superior, and deluxe rooms, every space reflects the heritage of the region while offering its own distinct character.
Seasonal Cuisine, Rooted in Tradition
The restaurant draws inspiration from Maria and Christina Godly’s celebrated approach to seasonal cooking. Local ingredients and time-honoured techniques shape a menu that feels both authentic and refined, deeply connected to the rhythms of the valley.
In the Heart of the Upper Engadin
Set within the Upper Engadin Valley and just a short drive from St. Moritz, Chesa Marchetta is an ideal base for exploring alpine landscapes, cultural landmarks, and the quiet beauty of this storied region.
