What you did not know about Mountain Plaza Hotel Davos.
Mountain Plaza Hotel Davos stands on land that reflects Davos's layered past, agricultural roots, sanatorium heritage, winter-sports pioneering, and modern alpine evolution.
Long before Davos became a winter resort or international meeting point, the area around today's hotel was part of the early Walser settlement zone of Davos Platz. Families lived in wooden houses and worked small farms that dotted the valley floor. This land served as home to barns, grazing fields, storage sheds, and artisan workshops. The footpaths behind the hotel still follow some of the original routes used by farmers moving between meadows and forests. In the 19th century, Davos's climate drew global attention when physicians declared the valley's cold, dry air beneficial for tuberculosis treatment. Sanatoriums filled the slopes above town, and the valley floor, where Mountain Plaza Hotel Davos stands, became the practical support hub for this emerging medical community. Bakers, craftsmen, carpenters, tailors, and local families lived and worked here, building the foundation of service and daily life that sustained the sanatorium era. Patients took prescribed “Luft-Kuren”, slow walks through designated fresh-air routes, many of which wound directly across this land. Traces of these walking paths still live in today's quiet side streets and forest entry points. The early 20th century brought the explosive rise of skiing. Davos became a cradle of European winter sports, and Jakobshorn, just minutes from the hotel, was among the first slopes carved by ski pioneers. The land surrounding Mountain Plaza Hotel Davos was part of the movement corridor for early skiers. They walked this stretch carrying long wooden skis toward Jakobshorn, testing routes, teaching technique, and building the first generation of Davos's winter identity. The open meadows nearby became impromptu training grounds for beginners learning to balance, turn, and glide long before formal ski schools existed. As the town modernized through the mid-century, supported by tourism, the expanding Congress Centre, and improved infrastructure, the land transitioned from agricultural and residential use to hotel development. Early inns and guesthouses sprang up here, chosen for their sunlight exposure, quiet position away from the main road, and proximity to slopes and trails. Mountain Plaza Hotel Davos came forward from this period of hospitality growth, evolving into a contemporary alpine hotel built on land that originally served as one of Davos's most practical, sunlit, and community-rooted spaces. Beneath the current structure lie layers of history: agricultural soil shaped by centuries of grazing, fragments of early Walser buildings, outlines of sanatorium-era walking paths, and subtle ground patterns tied to the birth of skiing. The modern hotel stands as a continuation of this history, carrying forward the spirit of everyday alpine life while opening its doors to travelers from around the world.
