There are a lot of hotels with quirky and unique features on this list, but one with its own private mountain railway is impressive by any standards.

The Tschuggen Grand Hotel, which overlooks the Swiss town of Arosa, is a resplendent haven for alpine skiers, who have the chance to travel to the slopes via the exclusive Tschuggen Express, or direct from their room if they book a ski-out suite.

The building's high-rise exterior was inspired by the dramatic snowy vistas it's set against and has an air of the '70s about it, but inside, the hotel is elegant and modern thanks to its Carlo Rampezzi-designed interiors.

Dreamed up by Mario Botta, Tschuggen Grand's Bergoase Spa is touted as another jewel in its crown, a water world across four floors of white granite and glass sails.
