Sometimes the best part of a trip isn't the big splurge, it's the small one. A cup of tea taken properly, a splash of limoncello slipped in after dessert, or a quick refresh. These little, unplanned indulgences are what travelers are chasing right now, and they're exactly the kind of moments that make an already great stay a little more memorable.
Below are a few of these worth knowing about across the Tschuggen Collection's four Swiss hotels.
Arosa, Switzerland – At the Tschuggen Grand Hotel, the little treat can be found in the uniquely designed Tschuggen Bergoase Spa, spanning four floors and carved directly into the surrounding mountain. Among its diverse wellness offerings, guests can enjoy an express 20-minute Hydro Bath session–a quick hydrotherapy treatment designed to ease tension in the body and mind using the whirlpool’s massage jets.

Arosa, Switzerland – A few minutes of waiting for a table at Valsana Hotel can turn into its own little ritual thanks to Twist’s self-serve wine dispenser stocked with European vintages. Guests can pour a taste while they wait, often trying two or three before dinner even begins. Images here.
Ascona, Switzerland – One of Hotel Eden Roc’s simplest luxuries is waiting right in the room. The fully complimentary minibar is stocked with regional refreshments, assorted teas, and Nespresso coffee, with daily restocking so it never runs dry. It quietly becomes part of the daily routine, whether that’s an espresso before breakfast, a refreshing juice after a swim, or a cold nightcap overlooking the lake. Images here.
St. Moritz, Switzerland – At the Carlton Hotel, the little luxury lives on the Carlton terrace or beside the fireplace of the Bel Etage, where tea is served from 1:00pm to 6:00pm in fine porcelain accompanied by discreet piano music. Guests can choose from a variety of afternoon teas, including a Pink English, with a kids' version so the youngest guests can sip along, turning a British tradition into a quiet Alpine experience.
