Badrutt's Palace

St. Moritz, Switzerland

• No.43 The World's 50 Best Hotels 2023

Perched in St. Moritz, Switzerland, Badrutt's Palace has been welcoming discerning travellers since 1896. Whether seeking to carve out paths on freshly powdered slopes or summertime expeditions into the mountains, it’s long been regarded as the ultimate luxury launch pad for all alpine activities. One step into Le Grand Hall – referred to as ‘the living room of St Moritz’ – with its stunning panoramas and it’s easy to see why. The 157 rooms, including Suite 501 formerly frequented by Alfred Hitchcock, mirror the hotel’s refined, ski lodge aesthetic with thoughtful touches like Swiss chocolates and Engadiner Nusstorte enhancing the experience. Palace Wellness, the hotel’s opulent spa, originally opened in 1969 but an $80 million transformation has it now resembling a Bond-style lair with Ayurveda allure. The 25m infinity pool, fitness facilities, Jacuzzis and treatment rooms offer a sanctuary with stunning lake and mountain views. Extravagant food and drinks amplify the experience. Indulge in diverse culinary experiences with eleven restaurants in the winter and six in summer, featuring Japanese-Peruvian cuisine at Matsuhisa, bistro classics at King’s Social House and hearty pies at Pizzeria Heuboden. The Renaissance Bar, with its genteel dress code after 7:30 pm, offers expert pours, creating an ambience tinged with cigar smoke.
