Riders Palace

Super Slick yet Simple /​/​Relaxed Atmosphere /​/​Young Guests
Me and my friends have been spending a few days every season at the Riders Palace in Laax for the last 3 years.
The young crowd and the simple and informal setup is very inviting if you’re not looking for the formalities of a regular hotel.
The design of the building and the rooms is very slick yet simple and comfortable, something typically Swiss in my opinion.
They also have a bar in the ground floor and a club in the basement. On the weekends the bar tends to get crowded because usually there is live music in the club and people commute between the two.
The 360 rooms are equivalent to the RP middle class and tend to be around CHF 75 /​person and night which is probably the cheapest private room you’ll find in Laax.
Here you have 3 beds and a sofa or a fatboy, as well as a TV, a private shower, sink, and a toilet, all of which are separate.
The rooms are very comfortable and safe due to multiple cardreaders you need to pass to access a room.
They have 2 large rooms in the basement where guests can store and dry their boards and gear, as well as a storage room where you can keep your luggage if you wanna go boarding/​skiing on your last day or before you can check in. This room has a shower and towels as well which is very very useful.
My Dislikes:
The parties get really noisy and the bass makes your bed vibrate if your room is close to the club.
The toilets have no proper ventilation so that RP decided to cut off the top and bottom 10 cm of the door which can lead to very uncomfortable situations if you know what I mean.
IMO the prices are a bit too high considering you don’t even get a proper breakfast.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Value for money, top quality concrete, shit breakfast (truly, bring some food) make sure you ask for ID if you’re doing more than drinking in the bar, just in case;)

I didn’t really stay at the Riders Palace, but just went one day to Laax.
Was really good, no people at all, but it is Low season at the moment :)
Great place for boarders!

Awesome place to stay while you’re skiing in LAAX and really great snowboard culture here. They had a jib jam when we were here, which was put on by some local sponsorship.

zum hotel kann ich nicht viel sagen. die bar ist allerdings ziemlich hip. schon zum — im riders untypischen — aprés-​ski hängen jung & alt cool ab ;-)
tolles design im lounge-​style und öffentliche internet-​stationen machen die riders bar zum local hangout.

Direkt links am Ortseingang von Laax-​Murschetg liegt das schicke Hotel «Riders Palace». Nomen est omen: hier geht es rund um die Uhr ums Snowboarden, abhängen und cool sein. Nicht zuletzt deshalb ist es auch das Hotel der Wahl für die Teilnehmer der «Burton European Open», die jedes Jahr im Januar in Laax stattfinden.
Das Hotel selbst bietet ausnehmend schicke Zimmer in jeder Preisklasse, von Suiten bis hin zu Vierbettzimmern ist alles drin. An der Bar im Erdgeschoss gibt es nicht nur einen sehr guten Kaffee, sondern auch Obstsäfte und eine gute Auswahl an Sprit. ;-) Dazu läuft rund um die Uhr die Musik, die die Rider gern hören. In dieser Saison eher in Richtung Rap.
Ausserdem ist das Riders Palace ein Veranstaltungszentrum mit eigenem Konzertsaal.
Wer im Gebiet Flims/​Laax/​Falera Winterferien macht, für den ist ein Besuch im Riders Palace Pflicht. Bis das neue «Rocks Resort» in Laax fertig ist, werden hier die stylischen Standards gesetzt.
