Step into a world where elegance meets exhilaration. Nestled in the heart of the
Swiss Alps, Badrutt’s Palace Hotel has long been a cornerstone of luxury ski holidays, attracting discerning travellers who crave more than just powder and peaks. This isn’t just about skiing. It’s about stepping into timeless sophistication.
From the moment you arrive in St. Moritz, you can sense it—the crisp air, the whisper of snow underfoot, and the unmatched charm of a resort where tradition and modern indulgence walk hand in hand.
Why St. Moritz is the Jewel of the Alps
St. Moritz isn’t just another ski destination. It’s where winter tourism was born. You can explore more about this iconic resort on the official
Switzerland Tourism site. Surrounded by frozen lakes and snow-draped mountains, it offers over 350km of slopes and some of the best après-ski experiences in Europe.
You’ll find Michelin-starred dining, luxury boutiques, and wellness experiences to rival any spa retreat. The sun shines here over 300 days a year. That means clear skies for skiing and even clearer views for those mountain terrace lunches.
St. Moritz makes for the perfect base for luxury ski holidays. But what sets it apart even further is the timeless grandeur of Badrutt’s Palace.
Badrutt’s Palace Hotel: An Icon of Alpine Luxury
Badrutt’s Palace isn’t just a hotel—it’s part of Swiss history. Opened in 1896, this legendary hotel combines old-world glamour with modern-day service. It sits proudly overlooking Lake St. Moritz, its turreted façade as impressive as the experience it offers within.
From vintage photographs in the corridors to the warm crackle of fireplaces in the lounges, the hotel speaks to those who appreciate tradition. Yet it surprises with its cutting-edge spa, world-class dining, and attentive concierge team that anticipates your every need.
You might arrive for the skiing. You’ll stay for the atmosphere.
Accommodations with Swiss Elegance
Rooms at Badrutt’s Palace range from classic doubles to sprawling suites. Each one balances old-fashioned charm with fresh Alpine touches. Think antique furnishings, high ceilings, and big bay windows with views across the valley.
Bathrooms gleam with marble finishes. Linen is crisp, slippers plush. Even the most standard room feels indulgent.
Suites elevate the experience with butler service, private terraces, and luxurious touches like fireplaces and whirlpool tubs.
If you’re travelling as a family or group, connecting rooms and large suites offer space and privacy.
Dining: A Culinary Journey from Mountains to Mediterranean
There are eight restaurants and several bars within the hotel. Each tells its own story.
- IGNIV by Andreas Caminada brings fine-dining flair to shared plates
- Le Restaurant captures old-world elegance under crystal chandeliers
- La Coupole serves hearty Swiss favourites with alpine views
- La Diala is the spot for healthy fare by the spa
Whether it’s caviar and champagne or fondue and local wine, every meal is a celebration.
The hotel’s King’s Social House, co-created by Michelin-starred chef Jason Atherton, becomes an après-ski hotspot by night. Live DJs, gourmet snacks, and flowing drinks keep the spirit of the mountains alive long after sundown.
World-Class Skiing at Your Doorstep
The slopes around St. Moritz cater to every level. From beginner-friendly nursery slopes to challenging off-piste routes, the variety keeps skiers and snowboarders engaged.
Badrutt’s Palace offers a ski concierge, heated ski storage, and private transfers to the lifts. Lessons and equipment hire can be arranged on request. All are handled with the ease and polish you’d expect from a top-tier resort.
What makes luxury ski holidays here special is the freedom. You can hit the slopes all morning, relax in a spa all afternoon, and dine in elegance by nightfall.
Wellness & Spa: Alpine Serenity
After a day on the pistes, unwind in the Palace Wellness spa. Facilities include an indoor infinity pool with panoramic views, sauna, steam baths, ice room, and a fitness studio.
Treatments use Swiss luxury brands like La Prairie and include massages, facials, and body rituals. There’s even a hair salon on site.
For families, the hotel’s dedicated children’s wellness offerings ensure everyone gets their share of rest and rejuvenation.
