Davos is the second largest canton in Switzerland and its nice valley is comfortably protected by the surrounding high mountains. This makes the climate in the area very suitable for any kind of sort both in winter and summer. Davos originally became famous in the 19th century as a health resort suitable for treating tuberculosis. One can still visit some sanatoriums there.
Davos is regarded as one of Europe's oldest mountain resorts. It established itself as a health resort in 1860 and as a sports center in 1930. Today, Davos is a city way up in the mountains (5100 foot elevation) that is popular all year round. Not your average Alpine ski village, but a bustling place, famous for its fresh mountain air, its consistently excellent snow cover and one of the most extensive ski areas in Switzerland. It has been attracting skiers for generations and recently gained fame as a hip snowboarding destination.
In Davos, we will be staying at the Sunstar Parkhotel. This is an elegant, spacious hotel that includes many extras, the most impressive is the in-room no-cost mini-bar, restocked daily (that will change when they are done with Shooters!).

The hotel is situated in park-like, absolutely quiet surroundings, very centrally located in Davos Platz, only a few minutes’ walk away from the well-known Davos Promenade, Davos Platz station and the Jakobshorn railway.
Culturally rich Davos is the highest town in the Alps, with imposing ski areas on both sides of a picturesque valley.

Davos extends for almost 2.5 miles and is divided into Davos-Dorf and Davos-Platz and is located in Graubunden in the East of Switzerland on the Landwasser river.

After our week in Davos, we will visit Berlin for four nights.

This is a surprisingly different and reportedly "funky" 4-star-plus hotel.  Located in the new heart of Berlin, very close to the famous Potsdamer Square and Sony centre. Historic Siemens building with historic Siemens Salon from 1914, and its inner-courtyards blend of different architectural designs and the history of the Moevenpick gastronomy.
