Officially opened in 1896, Badrutt’s Palace Hotel epitomizes St. Moritz to perfection: grand, timeless, and always alive with activity. Perched high above the lake overlooking the Engadin mountains, the turret-topped Palace offers 159 guest rooms and suites, including the coveted Tower Penthouse Apartment. Accommodations feature a variety of views, from the majestic mountain panorama to the charming village and Via Serlas. The newly opened Serlas Wing (winter 2024/25) introduces a more residential style with contemporary elegance, natural materials, and refined Loro Piana fabrics adorning furniture and wall paneling. A destination in itself, the hotel’s dining scene features 11 restaurants and 3 bars in winter, and 6 restaurants and 1 bar in summer. Seasonal highlights include afternoon tea and cocktails in the baronial Le Grand Hall, sun-lit breakfasts in Le Restaurant, Peruvian-Japanese fusion by Nobuyuki Matsuhisa at La Coupole, Jason Atherton’s King’s Social House dine-and-dance concept, the legendary Chesa Veglia, and the mountainside Paradiso Mountain Club & Restaurant. The expansive Palace Wellness offers indoor and outdoor swimming pools (the latter open year-round as well), a fitness center, and serene wellness suites. Over 20 luxury boutiques enhance the hotel’s allure, while the Palazzino Kids’ Club welcomes children aged 3 to 12 with a fun, educational program led by professionally trained staff.
