How to Plan a Successful Group Booking (Step by Step)

Use this practical roadmap to keep your project on track.

1) Define the Scope

• Target dates, length of stay, and a realistic room count (7+ rooms qualifies as a group booking).
• Outline preferred room categories (e.g., lake-view panorama rooms, family rooms, Junior Suites) and the number of twin vs. double setups you’ll need.
• Note any accessibility requirements; request accessible rooms when booking.

2) Align on Budget and Inclusions

• Decide which inclusions you want standardized for the group (e.g., breakfast-to-go on departure day, transfers, valet parking for VIPs, dog amenities for pet owners).
• Consider winter packages like Sleep + Ski for eligible dates.

3) Streamline Arrivals and Transfers

• Share train or flight schedules early to arrange complimentary station shuttles and any Samedan Airport requests.
• For international flights, plan private transfers to Zurich or Milan (CHF 850 per one-way journey) and assign a point of contact.

4) Coordinate Meetings and Meals

• Reserve the right venue (Segantini Saal, Salon Flugi, Lions Saal, or Clavadatsch hut) and confirm AV needs or staging layouts.
• Pre-select menus across our restaurants with attention to vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free requirements.
• Schedule social time at the Pianobar or the nightclub to keep the group connected after sessions.

5) Anticipate Guest Preferences

• Ask attendees about pillow preferences, allergies, and dietary needs during registration.
• For families, request baby cots, bottle warmers, and extra beds as needed.
• For cyclists or skiers, highlight bike workshop access, e-bike loans, ski storage, and the bag-deposit service between stays.

6) Lock the Basics and Communicate Clearly

• Confirm check-in/out times (15:00 arrival; departures by 11:00; arrivals must be before midnight).
• Remind guests to bring a photo ID and the credit card used to secure the booking.
• Share the smoking policy, dog policy (including Restaurant Segantini exception), and Wi‑Fi details.

7) Build in Local Experiences

• Leverage the Chantarellabahn proximity for mountain excursions.
• Encourage Friday rooftop yoga sign-ups.
• Point guests to our rooftop webcams to preview real-time panoramas.

Note: For group contracts, it’s common industry practice to specify items like rooming lists, name-change cutoffs, and any deposit schedules. Your confirmed agreement will set the exact terms for your stay.
