About us

The Smallest 5-Star Superior Hotel in Switzerland

The IN LAIN Hotel Cadonau is the smallest 5-star Superior hotel in Switzerland - a wooden gem amidst the Engadine mountain world. The name "In Lain" comes from the Romance language and means "In Wood". Wood is not only a building material here, but a lived philosophy. Centuries-old Swiss pines, larches, and firs give the house an aura of warmth, security, and strength.

Weddings with Character

A whole 5-star hotel exclusively for the most beautiful day in life - that is possible at IN LAIN Hotel Cadonau. The ceremony at the organic pond, a stylish aperitif in the hotel garden, and the celebration in one of the charming restaurants make the wedding day unforgettable. With experience, attention to detail, and plenty of time, the hosts accompany couples through planning and the big day.

Seminars in an Inspiring Environment

For meetings, workshops, and strategic days, IN LAIN Hotel Cadonau provides ideal conditions: a modern seminar room with technology, many retreat options for group work, and a framework program that invigorates. Working amidst nature and wood creates clarity, perspective, and new energy. The familial atmosphere and the possibility to book the hotel exclusively are especially valued.

Arrive and Be

Anyone arriving at IN LAIN Hotel Cadonau leaves everyday life behind. The fine scent of Swiss pine, the soothing tranquility, and proximity to nature create a retreat for body and mind. The 14 suites and junior suites, the restaurants, and the garden invite you to relax and enjoy.

Hosts with Heart

Dario and Tamara Cadonau run the hotel with passion and dedication. Dario is not only a host but also a top chef with a Michelin star and 17 GaultMillau points. Culinary delights are served at the gourmet restaurant VIVANDA, cozy La Stüvetta, or in the authentic cheese dairy. The in-house patisserie also surprises daily with fresh creations.

Small Wellness Oasis

Wellness at IN LAIN means pure relaxation: garden sauna with panoramic view, bath tub with Swiss pine water, massages with natural products, and the refreshing organic swimming pond invite relaxation. Outside, the alpine vastness of the Engadine awaits - clear, majestic, and calming.

Experiences and Encounters

Regular events such as Sunday brunches or cooking courses with Dario Cadonau make the stay special. Personal attention and genuine warmth are always central.

The IN LAIN Hotel Cadonau is a retreat, a power place, a home away from home - small, familial, exclusive.

Wir durften letztes Wochenende ein super Abendessen im Vivanda geniessen. Eines der besten Dinner die ich in den letzten Jahre geniessen durfte. Vom Service über Ambiente bis zum Essen eine absolute Empfehlung.

We had a great time. The rooms and shared spaces all feel very cosy, and every employee also made us feel comfortable and like at home. Dario himself even spontaneously came to help us remove the snow from our car!We enjoyed the location, feeling secluded but at the same time with easy access to a number of fun things to do (St Moritz, Engadin Eisweg, Engadin River Ranch, Zuoz ski resort). The hot tub and saunas were quite fun and nice to use under the snow (but make sure to book it in advance). A few suggestions for improvement: - make sure guests realize you have underground parking, particularly when snow is forecasted - we had parked outside as we hadn't seen the garage entrance and ended up with several inches of snow on the car - add conditioner in the showers - improve cigar lounge ventilation to avoid the occasional light smoke smell in the suites corridor

Bitte das nächste Mal den Neujahrsdrink zum Anstossen im Preise inkludieren! (Auch wenn der Preis hätte etwas angehoben werden müssen). Das wäre eine Geste gewesen, die der Gast geschätzt hätte
