Nicely nestled within the mountains and forests, and settled right atop Lake Moritz itself, Badrutt’s Palace is that rarity of a hotel experience in which its fairytale vistas are miraculously matched by opulent glory across the interior of the resort. 

Both outside and inside the hotel, it doesn’t get more beautiful than this. Outside, the snow-topped mountains and glimmering lake enhance the Gothic architecture of the Badrutt’s Palace Hotel, first built in 1896. 

Inside, state of the art luxury peaks with all the sleek features and amenities one would expect from a world-class resort, whilst not once compromising the historical grandeur of the place.

This is a big hotel; in fact, with 11 restaurants, two bars, a wide range of leisure facilities, and even a nightclub, it is one of Switzerland’s largest. Indulge in afternoon tea beneath the original wood-carved ceiling of Le Grand Hall, or venture to La Coupole to try Nobuyuki Matsuhisa’s (of Nobu fame) Japanese cuisine.

Lean into the unapologetic grandness of the iconic institution by booking one of the hotel’s most exceptional spaces. For a memorable stay, book the Tower Penthouse Apartment, which recently became available again after an astonishing 30-year residency by a mystery guest came to an end.

Adorned with Engadin pinewood furniture and ornate wood paneling, the residence has a warm, authentic Alpine atmosphere. With 3,400 sq ft of floor space, four bedrooms and four bathrooms across three stories, this is undoubtedly the most exclusive suite in one of Switzerland's most exclusive towns.

Featuring a kitchen, dining area, living room and sitting room, the two large tower balconies and an open fireplace give the accommodation a unique feel. 

Venture outside to explore St Moritz’s unique activities, expertly organized by the hotel. Try Skijöring, a winter sport where skiers are towed by a horse, or visit the historic Cresta Run, where tobogganing awaits.
